Summary of GSoC 2018 -- The Immortal

Overview

During the last three months I worked on porting The Immortal.
Unfortunately, I have fallen ill last month and are still recuperating so I haven’t got much work done since. Although GSoC is ending, it doens’t mean work on The Immortal will cease as well. I will keep working on it over the next month to make up for my sick days.

DONE

• Dialog parsing and rendering
• Audio conversion (EA BIN to MIDI)
• Rendering
• Inventory
• Animation definitions
• Map parsing, rendering, and room definitions

TODO

• Animation system
• Collision detection
• Object/Actor interaction
• Fighting
• AI

Those are the big ones left until the game is in a playable state. I'm sorry for everyone that was looking forward to play the game at the end of this GSoC period and hope to make up for it by the end of September with a PR. I want to thank my mentors Arnaud Boutonné, Thierry Crozat, the whole ScummVM team and Google for creating the Summer of Code in the first place.

Week 10

I’m sorry for the lack of progress and apologize to everyone that is eagerly looking forward to playing the game. Fortunately, after a short stay at the hospital I’m feeling better now and can resume work on the project.

Week 9 -- Give me some of that water..

No real progress as I have been feeling really sick the last couple of days. A sip from that fountain water would be really nice right now…
The camera tracking of the player is still a bit wonky but once that is ironed out, object iteraction and triggers are next as was planned in last week’s post.
