Six Rounds and Things Are Pretty Much the Same 

My game KLords of XP Alpha Release 6 has been published tonight!

This new iteration of my project brings you a bug fix and a new sprite asking you to confirm that you really want to overwrite an existing saved game file.

By the way, two new shires have been added. Now you will end up facing an independent shire, Knight Loch, Baron Masters and the Fallen Priest Banks almost at the same time. Just by hitting the OK button on top of some of those town centers you might learn a bit more about their current rulers or the shire's (sad) background.

For my fellow developers (basically scripters in this case) I might tell you that I tried to simplify the text acquiring process, usually known as data retrieval and parsing, to reduce the number of times you would make calls to a given event. This obviously means it will have no need to repeat a few steps of this process every single time it will try to retrieve the strings to be displayed on screen. So do not come back telling me I crafted expensive methods to deal with such basic issues.

 Don't you get bored of the need to make your scripts extremely modular?

Sometimes I do!
