It's #screenshotsaturday ! In between some AI stuff, I've been looking at just how much gameplay I can cram into a (sentient) cricket bat. Movement tech in particular- I want verticality. Grappling hooks are great, but everywhere...

...so how about a pogo stick?

More progress for #screenshotsaturday. Took a while to figure out how I wanted to handle some decorative water caustics and I'm no shader wizard. Had to get creative with layered, parallaxing viewports in #GodotEngine. Also my water is done!

This week, I created the enemies that appear on the first stage of the game.
The only remaining is the boss character, and I am almost done!
※The movie is a test stage.

Oh what a fool i've been. I could've just applied the texture to these assets right off the bat.

Obviously the UVs were baked into the model 🤦

I've been selecting faces and assigning new materials in blender for every model in the pack.

My #solodev Saturday post for the week - and if you think I'm late, then you're in a Bedtime Timezone and you should be in bed >:(

Main thing I did this week was get live shader reloading working in my engine, so I can quickly prototype visual effects.

rewrote the recoil function because i was getting tired of adding it into every gun separately, provides much cleaner visuals as well (and wrote a 3D billboard shader that can be rotated)

Today was a good day to dev. I successfully got the item system and end game events working! Some animated ending sequences and an inventory system still needs doing, but this was a big accomplishment.

- screen shake action via story scripting
- auto-play dialogs switch button
- configurable text speed
- text sfx ("beeps") throttled for better result, and variable based on text speed

Art isn't exactly my strong suit, so my capsule art for It Digs Up on steam library looks very minimalistic.

Still, it might make the game stand out in a sea of backlog.

Campaign devlog, day 23

This mission is arguably the closest thing you'll get to puzzle platforming in a turn-based tactical game. Lots of carefully planned moves, with a less predictable segment at the end to enforce some improvisation.
