Did some water work today, aka, scouring the (free and/or permitted) work of artists more talented than I am with that sort of thing Found these awesome animated waves by Charlie


Right now I'm debating whether I want to use them as simple flat sprites, or if I want to do a plain plane mesh of some blue color or watery texture, then modify the waves so they are more like actual waves (cutting off the top tiling portion) and stick them in vertically.

The problem I see with that, especially in this scene, is that the river is flowing north to south. Would I want to put vertical waves in the same direction so they match the direction but may be poorly viewed except at extreme angles, or place them perpendicular to the river's overall direction so they are constantly viewed but going against the natural flow as it were?

Water in this game is for environment, a little canoeing, and a bit of fishing. There will be no swimming or underwater or anything like that. If you do happen to go in the water, it will be a local reset and loss of HP (not total death unless you're really that low on HP).

Eh, what the heck. Let's put it to a vote. In the meantime, I'll go back to my save/load problems. Maybe.

Next up

Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.

Battle State Machine is working Player chooses what to do, enemies choose what to do, and they even have variable rates of attack/defend/flee. Next step will be to actually start dealing damage

Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Did some more work trying to fix up whatever went wrong and...yeah, let's just cut to the end where it didn't work

Started a new project, made some changes, derped around a little, made this cute little guy

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."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

Decided to do some work on the save/load. Name, Chapter, and even Total Play Time CORRECTLY FORMATTED Will work on the chapter banners later. Free time formatting code below

With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms

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.

Ah, yes, Grandpa and Grandma's old farmhouse, with a million rooms, basement full of mason jars, and the old '57 Chevy in the garage

I mean, not my Gramma and Grampa, but someone's, right?
