Most games require at least a little background/support work that doesn't involve the primary application. In particular, for this game, I wanted to a title screen and some vignettes of various encounters you have in the world, and places you go to. However, I don't have any real talent at composing ascii art, which is something of rare talent to begin with.
So, I made two companion programs to help me with the task,
AsciiConvert, which is already at 1.0, to create the ascii art from line drawings; And for further processing, AsciiEdit (Yeah, I'm not wonderful with application names) which is currently a work in progress:
Finishing those is kind of where my efforts are focused at the moment. For my next post, I'll probably talk about some of the work already mostly done, which deals with level generation.
