Hello! It's been a bit, but this project is back to the top of my priority list.

And Godot 4 released, which means that I have a great chance to clean up my project by remaking it from scratch!

More info in the article below.


Hello guys!

It's been a bit, hasn't it? I managed to close my last bachelor's exam session with (almost) perfect marks, and began writing my bachelor's diploma, which is due in June.

Also, just yesterday I left another indie gamedev project that was taking up the most of my resources, where I was an art lead. I took it up without pay, to gain experience, which I have. The project was dropped by its head because it wasn't really going anywhere anyways. So, OGLS is back to the first place in my list of priorities :smile: And my animation skills are even better than before!

In other great news: Godot 4 has released. It's absolutely wild. I started this project on Godot 2, then ported it into Godot 3, and now I'm going to do the same once again. However, this time will be different, as Godot 4 is MASSIVELY different from Godot 3.

Which means, you guessed it... this is a great opportunity to remake my project from scratch!

But I won't be throwing anything I've already made away. I have a wonderful chance to clean up all of my past mistakes, to make everything better and clearer. The introductory scenes are one hell of a messy code, and the saving system requires a redesign anyways, because it isn't working as intended.

The work continues, and I'll be posting updates as always. Thank you for your support ♥

Now that I'm in Master's degree, I'm considering pitching OGLS as my exam project for the autumn semester. For more info, read the article!

In other news, NPC system finally works in 3D. At least, the planning/moving/stopping parts.

I made character shadows with shaders. However, they intersect with light occluder 2D shadows, creating unrealistic double shadows. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get rid of them. Any Godot 4 gurus out there? 🙏🥺

The first draft of a 3D scene made out of 2D objects, very rough, very saturated (i was light testing), very much representative of the parallax I wanted to achieve. What do you think?

Devlog 20th September:

Repainted the TV screen. Fixed the code so that the mouse input goes through to the tilemap, then realized I don't need it. Fun days.

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

I did this cool effect you can see on the video! I needed a way to stop all audio and animations from playing in order to complete the quick-time event script.

Hope you have a nice day, and I'll see you Wednesday!

Hosted Development Stream №82. Thank you everyone who attended!

I completed the quick-time event script! The prompt shows up and the press is registered. Also finished the intermission animation. Now to the second half of the song!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

My quest log made me recall a very old Phantom of the Opera / Among Us AU me and my friend have devised. It had a beautiful plot about a furious monster infiltrating a spaceship to enact his revenge, only to fall in love with a human... #AmongUsFriday
