Fixed my Array Order Load bug!


I realise that if I change the order of the entries in the Building array (as they appear in the Build Menu) it breaks the Save Loading of the buildings.

This is because my Load code "Re-builds" the building as if the player made it, so when the game Saves it stores the place you'd be in the building array then the Load uses that to get the correct data, so if I rearrange between a save and a load it wont find the correct building.

SO! I'm now storing the building type (name) and feeding that into a ds_map to return a value, that value is a Macro e.g "FURNACE" = 3; which I use when populating the building array. Now instead of rearranging the array manually I just change the Macro number for the relevant value and that does it automatically!

Didn't work the first time though...forgot something XD

Lol, wish I could force the game to generate things like this, but it's not really possible with the perlin noise generation.

I lost a week when I was sick plus a couple more days when Granny had some bad ones, but I have still been hard at it, mostly working on more Ruins stuff bug fixes and optimisations. Lets get to it!

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.

Recent shinies!

Not great ones tbh, mostly slightly different shades to the originals.

They really need to overhaul the shiny system from the start.

New pack day! Let's open a couple 20 pulls!

Geez, 2026!!

Bit of a short one this month. I took things easy over the holidays, partially because of the time of year but also the heating broke and granny had a few bad days so she needed more focus.
