Yes! that's right, it's time for another IBT Survival Island game update.
If possible these updates are going to keep on coming once a week (...give or take a few days).
All images here are original and built from scratch for our new Steem SMT(or other crypto token) game.
These posts are designed to share with Steemian's my experiences in what goes into making an Educational game that can work with a crypto rewards system.
The above image is taken from the actual game, IBT Survival island - Item building menu.
This fortnight has been difficult and we suffered a major set back. How to explain...basically a list of test items have been used during developing the in menu game but when it came time to add more to the menu it somehow corrupted the test items - meaning we lose all the code :(.
It was desirable if we could just change the description and keep some of the test items and code - but sadly due to some glitch the moment we add more the others are lost. It's not a huge/show stopper problem just one of those set backs; kindda like when you forget to backup your work - we suspect about 2 weeks of work to implement a work around to this glitchy thing :(
Working with items in a game, in real-time is difficult. Everything from the item being picked up, put down to being destroyed needs to be coded, but as you can see from below it's getting there.
That's it for this update, there will be a fresh update in approx one week. Thanks for anyone who supports this project and who took the time to view my post.
I am really looking forward to playing this game. I hope that it will somehow have a way to earn Steem through it and possibly incorporate Keychain. (I was reluctant to use it, but I got sick and tired of cutting and pasting my Active key every time I wanted to do a financial transaction, so now I will never go back to that.
Dude, this game is looking fantastic. Appreciate the updates.

Can I craft new underwear?
Looking cool man!
Haha...I'll take that one up with the committee - got my vote!
Aaargh! You're versioning right? Hope you're able to resolve the problem (actual resolution, sometimes workarounds cause more problems down the line XD).
It's definitely coming along :)
It's saved often, but as the issue wasn't discovered until recently and given the nature of the issue (glitch in the game creator) it wouldn't have helped.
We can work around with a manually copy/paste code out and start again, the problem is if we add more to the item list later, it will break again :( So while we have a work around have to hear from some pros how to fix permanently - just a pain! but will get there.
Thanks for the continued support, following along and showing interest. Cheers
