I might not do too much work on Hensen Hopper this weekend because I'm really just not feeling it today. Might feel different tomorrow, no idea.

I made some updates to the hints system! Now it reads from the message hub to determine when to show hints and the hint texts now come from the lang system I wrote yesterday. This simplified my the hints handling algorithm A LOT from what it used to be!

Is there even a point to keeping a changelog when Game Jolt has pretty much become my changelog at this point? 🤣

Oh yeah, also, I updated that algorithm for dash handling I shared yesterday so I can set the dash duration via the inspector window!

I think one of the things I may have quests reward the player with is temporary (or permanent) upgrades to Hensen's abilities (i.e fewer bullets to defeat enemies, longer dashes once I implement that feature properly)
