Starlight Entertainment: Cinemas - 0.1.2 Update Log

Version 0.1.4 - 26/04/2023

Hellos! I have returned to work on Starlight! I have been working very hard under the hood attempting to identify and locate the cause of many bugs. This has led me to create some dev tools to identify and fix bugs much quicker!

I have also begun work on Quantum which is something that you’ll never properly see, it is going to be the new re-written from the ground-up movie runner! I’m hoping that Quantum, and the new way that I will store the movie data will be stored, can allow me to write this new movie ___________ isn’t that a good name? With one scene/sequence stretching what has been done before on this platform, one giant sequence that will mesmerize you. HINT: :ocean: :ocean: :ocean:

Note I believe that I have patched the issue that has stopped the movie from playing (instead of stopping at the Casper/Sherrif scene *

Roadmap for the next while;
I have indeed intended to make another movie & greatly improve the stability and improve the overall product. However I have gotten very busy recently, I am currently working on a separate game as well.

After I hopefully release ‘Labyrinth Legends’ (my next game, under Starlight Entertainment) I will go ahead and improve; ‘Elements: The Encounter’ after the improved version is released, I will hopefully start development on a NEW movie :eyes:

This next movie will take me a lot of time. For two main reasons;
1. Streamline the process. The current code that Elements is built upon, is absolutely horrific. It is really hard to add new segments to the movie and to add animations and better camera movements (thus why it is heavily lacking animations & poor camera movements)
2. Coding headaches. Early on, I intended to add more shows, making it easy to add more. But again, the code is in a horrible state. I will need to go ahead and completely alter almost every single bit of code (for both ETH and for future movies), almost 20,000k lines.

I have a really good idea for the next one, and I’m hoping to push the limits of this platform. There may even be a different way to view movies :eyes:
