April 2023 Devlog — Display Control Guide, GameJolt Achievements, Popups, & Hiatus


Hey everyone! Welcome to the April 2023 Devlog!

Every month, on the 20th, I'll go over what I have been doing over the past month/30(ish) days!

Unfortunately, I cannot reveal a lot in this post as they are meant to be revealed later. However, I will do my best to discuss what is new and created without revealing too much.


Display Control Guide

In every menu or event, it'll display control keys that'll indicate you on what inputs you can press, the same will apply for gamepad controls if you are using one! I wasn't sure if this is necessary, but I feel it's a nice addition to the game!

Achievement Popups

Yes, you've heard that right, you will be notified on when you earn a trophy! During the gameplay, if you meet the criteria of certain achievements, you will get a popup at the right telling you what trophy you've earned, and multiple trophies can popup at the time too! They will be ordered based on when you've achieved them.


Achievements Menu (wip)

We have the first look of the Achievements menu! You will be able to view every single achievements in numerous ways to your likings! You can view it as a list, grid, reversed order, or achieved filters!


Taking a Break/Hiatus

After this devlog, I will be taking a break from programming on Hack's Custom Night for a month for other projects. I have been working on it almost everyday working on different systems to get it to work. I feel it is important to not overfocus on the game as it can be very stressful and time-consuming figuring out the right direction.

In the meantime, I will be focusing on other projects to refresh my mind from Hack's Custom Night, projects like DEERWOOD, Those Nights at Random's V2, and Running in the 80's: Legacy Edition will be getting more focus. I hope you look forward to those projects in particular!~

Now just because I won't be programming on Hack's Custom Night, doesn't mean nothing will be done for the next 30 days. Other contributors are helping with working on Hack's Custom Night, like artists, concept artists, and etc. Though even then, I cannot be 100% sure if there will be a devlog made about the next 30 days.


Until then, see you in the next devlog!~
