Last post for today! Been getting some work done on the art for the spider, so far I've drawn a colored concept art (I know I completely messed up the web) and got started on the actual sprite, well, at least the layer that will be the spider's web.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Oh yeah, this is all I have properly added in the latest build haha.

Okay so I've effectively phased out the profile selection menu, or, well, TECHNICALLY not. The profiles system is still there, it's just invisible now. There is only one profile that's either created or loaded on game start. No more profile choosing.

THE SPIDER IS COMING

Four hours in, and my autistic hyperfixation of the year has already spawned. I'm planning on DIY-ing a tensegrity dining table this year thanks to a video by Steve Mould where he showcased a small one. Oh yeah, also, Hensen Hopper, I'll work on that too.

Officially gotten started with the spider!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAA! The spider is coming along!!! I'm actually quite proud of the way this turned out! I'm planning to take a break for a bit but I am ALSO gonna add some more idle movements to the spider and then apply some drop shadows and it'll look a ton better.

Working on animating the spider! Like I did with Hensen and the other enemies, I'm doing it in layers, starting first with the web and now with the propeller thingy on the back.

Oh yeah, also, I updated that algorithm for dash handling I shared yesterday so I can set the dash duration via the inspector window!

I made some updates to the hints system! Now it reads from the message hub to determine when to show hints and the hint texts now come from the lang system I wrote yesterday. This simplified my the hints handling algorithm A LOT from what it used to be!
