Project Log (2025)
December 31 - Implementation of Blood, Midas, Ghost, and Void effects. Happy new year.December 30 - Some vacation, some insomnia recovery. Bugfixes for status window.

December 10 - Preempt bugs squashed.
December 9 - Preempt has UI elements and animations. Before moving on to bullet types, some preempt bugs need to be squashed.
December 8 - Took break. Implemented UI bookmark; after a combat microgame, the UI will return to your last saved spot.
November 26 - Started with refactoring, which unearthed bugs with turn-taking and target-selecting that were fixed.
November 25 - Party attack workflow - Microgames result in damage being dealt, enemies can die and party members take damage. Great progress, but there is still a LOT left to implement before prototyping can progress into the testing phase. This is a combat system that technically works, but still needs fundamental hooks to be put in, refactoring to be done, user interfaces to add, and an entire mode to implement.
November 20 - Party attack workflow - Preempt is internally tracked and leads to attack microgame.
November 19 - Party attack workflow - enemies can be targeted using a crosshair.
November 18 - Continued work on party attack workflow.
November 11 - Working on party attack workflow.
November 10 - Defense microgame prototype deployed.
November 5 - Participant tile location markers implemented. Next is UI flow and defense microgame.
October 21 - Battle participant tiles implemented
October 15 - Combat user interface layout established, clock states and triggers implemented.
October 13 - Computer exploded. Hard drive lost.
