I&#8217;ve created the menus in a new fashion this time; instead of making them within the Spirits file, I&#8217;ve created two separate games and will merge them together once done. This allows me to compile the &#8220;menu game&#8221; much faster instead of compiling Spirits of Metropolis every time I want to see a menu in action. As a result, I&#8217;ve managed to get menus looking much swankier. The below shots are without particle effects; they&#8217;ll look much better once I merge the two games together:<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/images\/spiritnewmenu1.png\" rel=\"lightbox[ONR2]\" title=\"No more slot saving...it's all user based now.

This is going to be the most tedious part of the game making process&#8230;I hate every step of it. But, it has to be done, and I want to do it within one week. So, wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything is goin&#8217; smooth&#8230;as smooth as it can be, anyways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-maker","category-spirits-of-metropolis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vertigogaming.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
