THE SPIDER IS COMING

Officially gotten started with the spider!!!!!!!!

Okay so I've effectively phased out the profile selection menu, or, well, TECHNICALLY not. The profiles system is still there, it's just invisible now. There is only one profile that's either created or loaded on game start. No more profile choosing.

The easiest way to phase out the player profiles would be to just to create the user a profile automatically, named "theUser" or (insert user's Game Jolt alias) if they're logged in on GJ, and load that automatically on game start.

I'm gonna do an edit once I finish the spider where I put the audio from the "SPIDERS!" bit in Spongebob over footage of a wave of 5 spider enemies flying in all at once and attacking.

So it turns out removing the quests was actually pretty easy thanks to it reading sent messages to determine when quest progress had been made rather than reading any scripts directly. I simply deleted the script and nothing broke! 😲

I also want to phase out the user profiles this weekend because that's, plainly and simply, an outdated feature, like, everyone has their own accounts on things these days, who NEEDS this? ALSO that would allow GJ Leaderboard implementation!

If anyone has watched the devlog I shared here yesterday, yes, I am planning on scrapping the quests system. Here's why:

Okay, so, YEAH, I've been away for QUITE A WHILE. I don't know why but I just hadn't been feeling it for the longest time there but I'm gonna be getting back into it starting tomorrow morning! Here's the devlog video I just posted!

There seems to be a crash that happens sometimes on the win32 version that I'm gonna fix another day because if I'm being 100% honest, I don't have it in me right now. I still haven't fully recovered from working a 12/5 all month, okay?
