A travesty

I wanted to add something nice. Something fun for my game... About a week ago I started the groundwork for a slot machine in the Whitebridge inn. I had a lot of fun setting it up and testing early versions...

Until tonight...

I'm currently working on two separate projects. Only human which is made with a mix of HTML5 and css, and another project using lua.

Making two video games at once isn't the easiest thing to do, so sometimes I find myself working on these projects all through the night. Normally, I get my best work done from the hours of 12 to 12. Some of my best updates are the fruits of 48+ hours of continuous work. But tonight, the consequences of working night after night with little more than a sacrilegious amount of caffeine to keep me going whipped out it's meat and slapped me in the face with it.

Not only did I somehow accidentally delete ALL of the near-complete slot machine code. I didn't realise I was now working on the early version I thought I had scrapped until it was too late and I had already overwritten the save...

Days of slot machine code gone.

Now, you may be asking, "Why would you add a slot machine? Only Human is set six hundred years ago." and now you may never know... Until I get some sleep and start the coding again.

Anyway that was a roundabout way of telling you all I'm adding some features to the game with replay value. Along with the 100% era appropriate slot machine, I'll also be working on horse races and fighting rings you can bet on for large rewards.  The slot machine in particular has a chance to earn you:

* a new weapon 

*new armour 

*new infusion, bomb, and ammo recipes (yes, there are bombs now)

*free items 

*and a LOT of money.

So you'd better appreciate it. I went through a lot of emotional damage adding these in...
