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!

Thank you all so much for your support, it truly means the world to me and helps out so very much.

Thank you.

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."

That sucks. I spent ages reworking the draw world code to make it better and it made everything slower

Guess drawing and storing the whole land, then only drawing part of it to the screen, is better than generating only part and drawing it constantly.

HMM! Well I think I've made it better? Framerate seems more stable on this poor laptop?

Not bad for built in graphics.

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.

Ooo today's cards!
