Hi !

As i said yesterday, and since i'm probably remaking the game from scratch, i'll ask you some questions about gameplay mechanics i'll be working on. The explaination of the mechanic is in the article below.


I had an idea regarding the inventory, and it would fix a game design issue while allowing me to reuse some code AND make inventory management more interesting.

The idea is that instead of the classic 4-slot inventory that can hold one item in each slot i could make a 2 slot hotbar, a 4 slots inventory, and some items like cardboard box would fill multiple slots for one item. And when your 2 hotbar slots are occupied by one item you won't be able to open your inventory. This would fix the box stacking issue since you'll be able to carry only one box at a time, and it would make the gameplay more interesting.

Anyways, i don't want to add this feature if nobody likes it, and i'm afraid this feature could be annoying, so i'd like to hear youe thoughts about it, and if you have some suggestions to improve it let me know !

Hello there ! Today i added an inventory system for the neighbor, which can now hold up to two tiny objects, or on heavy object. (This affects its walking animation too ! )

Hello there ! I got some news for you (read the article)

I'm probably gonna post some footage during next week, see you soon

👀

(don't know if i'm gonna use it in the game though + the texture is not finished, the handle is still wood)

All the houses that i shown before during the pole got 25% of the votes, so i asked a friend that prefered the first one. However i find it too big, and i'm scared that it ruins the infiltration aspect of the game, so i kept the ground lvl and first floor

new tweaked logo ("Resurgence" now has the same font as "Hello, Neighbor!", and has bigger bold letters.)

(The new one is the first image)

that's how you hold a flashlight

I made a new design for boards, what do you think of it ?

My page was granted with a fresh new design ! My resume got one too and i'm redesigning my website. (By the way if you work in a french game dev studio that is searching for a student gameplay programmer let me know (: )

Hello ! Today i was experimenting a bit with parallax effects and made a mirror, however it is really laggy and i don't think i'll keep them. Besides the graphical aspect it would have been a cool gameplay mechanic though :/

The player is basically finished The neighbor is buggy for now, i 'm gonna work on a better function for him to move from one point to another so he doesn't get stuck, and i began working on the hunt state. #fangame #ai #helloneighbor
