I've been working on improving the coin animations for Deathly Descent! This is what I've got done so far, I still need to make the sprite-sheets for the gold and platinum coins.

I've been working on some proper visual art for the beetle shell when it's equipped! I've also gone ahead and drawn a break animation for it. All I need to do now is actually set all of this up in Unity which I'll probably do on Tuesday.

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!

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

This is a much larger (in terms of resolution) video than I've shared here before!!!

This is a full round of Hensen Hopper in it's current state! I mainly recorded this to showcase the new wave difficulty curve algorithm I've been working on!

I am impressed by my past self right now. The algorithm behind the unimplemented dashing mechanic (that I wrote like a year ago) uses a sine wave to smoothly increase/decrease Hensen's movement speed for a dash. That is so clever! I actually wrote this!?

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.

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)

I wrote a modular language system! I can now add new entries with definitions in as many languages as I please and all from the inspector window in the Unity editor! This allows me to potentially have Hensen Hopper translated to other languages easily!

I'm working on implementing Game Jolt's API with Deathly Descent, allowing me to, among other things, add trophies! I will have this update ready later this week! In the mean time, any suggestions/criticisms?
