Bring on Tharendell
Yes — we’re officially back to coding on a regular basis for Fantasy Uprising 2025!
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind: lots of travel, quarterly planning at work, and gearing up for the new school semester.
Despite the chaos, we’ve made solid progress on the BBS. We now have two door games live and running — a trivia game (with high scores!) and a blackjack game. I’ve also got the skeleton of a slot machine game in place. But the thing I’m most excited about? The arrival of our Tharendell NPC characters.
Over the past week, I’ve fully fine-tuned two of my NPCs: Sir Kadines the Mystic and the infamous, leather-knicker-wearing Mindella Stormbringer. Tonight, I wrapped up the last tweaks to their test scripts and began the process of integrating them into the BBS codebase. With a little luck, by tomorrow at least one of them will be chatting away inside a door game.
That’s where we are right now — moving fast and having fun.
Hope all of you are doing well.
Happy Computing,
Babble Baz
