Here's a little bit of insight into my UI Juice.


It's a really simple system, first I check for the button press, which is grouped into direction or confirm.

Then Instead of having the code repeated throughout the whole thing, if you can't go left or right I set a type value to "H", for up or down it's "V", if it's the confirm button it's "STILL".

I also have a temp value to determine the direction, forward or back stored as a 1 or -1, with an initial default as 0.

Then at the end of the button press code I run a script with those 2 values which reset and fires off a lerp.

The orientation tells it which value needs to be lerped, either Horizontal or the Vertical with the direction value being multiplied by the lerp amount to invert it if necessary.

The lerped value is then applied to the draw x/y or scale of the relevant UI part! THEN IT GOES BOING!

Happy February! I hope you're all doing well!

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!

From the weekend😸

OMG the reason that the lighting was inconsistent is because there's bug in my Weather system that means it always draws a cloud shadow over the Island (but not the Caves or the Underground)

Recent shinies!

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

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