Hensen Hopper

7 hours ago

I've decided to have the statistics behind the quests in Hensen Hopper be handled as actions reported to the quest manager rather than try to write variables into a whole bunch of scripts solely for quests.


To put this snippet in laymans terms, any script can call the ReportAction method in the quest manager to report an action that has occurred and the quest manager will add 1 to the number of times this action has been reported (the action name is saved as a key and the times it's been reported as it's definition in a dictionary).

This way, whenever I go to create the quests themselves, I can do so relatively easily because I can call this method from any script without dirtying up THAT code. I can design quests to defeat a certain enemy X times, defeat X enemies, survive for X waves, etc. by setting the quest's internal requirement to a certain action having been reported X times then calling ReportAction from whichever area of my codebase handles that particular event in the game and comparing the values every so often (I'll probably do this in the FixedUpdate loop or better yet write an OnActionReported event in this script and call it whenever ReportAction is called so it's not being checked 50 times a second, literally)

The beetle shell is now fully VISUALLY implemented! Next thing on my list is a unique sound for Hensen equipping it.

Okay, so I've gotten the functionality for the beetle shell render over the player working! (using the first 3 frames from the beetle shell collect animation as placeholder sprites, these ARE NOT the final sprites)

Okay so fast forward ~2 and a half hours of work and I've gotten an effect to play when the shield breaks! There is a sound effect too but for some reason it sometimes doesn't play... Need to figure THAT out now... v0.2.1 is on the way today!

I've been working on the sprite for the beetle shell power-up drop! I'm thinking when you collect this one, it will kind of poof away similarly to the enemies when they're defeated and play an "equip" sound.

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."

Here's a short demonstration of the beetle shell power-up in-action! It's not very obvious what it does at the moment because I still need to work on a lot of the effects for it, but the functionality is there if you pay attention to the health bar!

FIRST ACTUAL EDIT USING DAVINCI RESOLVE!!! Also, FINALLY, here's that clip of the beetle's idle animation I promised a while ago.

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.

I've more or less finished off the beetle enemy's animations now. Here's a short video showing the defeat animation as well as how it currently looks in-game. I still need to work on an effect for when the shield breaks, though.
