After investing so much time in the project, it’s time to sit again and think about the next steps.

First of all I decided that I will use the ASCII graphics until the project is completely finished; now that’s for sure. But still, I want the game to look good even without real graphics and it would be a real challenge to do this, because I’m thinking about adding also some effects and animations. Yes, everything is represented only with text and symbols, but still, I can add unlimited layers of text to achieve some effects, like adding sprites in any other 2d game.

Also I will concentrate myself on parts before the actual gameplay, like showing the splash screen, intro and title screen, menues, selecting scenarios… etc. In other words, I will start from the beginning, trying to code everything so that it can be considered as the final implementation for the first couple of demo releases. Of course that means also that I’ll need more time for every part or feature, plus, I want the game to look nice.
