Hensen Hopper

Oh yeah also, Hi everyone, I'm back! I DID finally get around to adding a secondary spawn event where the beetle has a 25% chance of spawning in a random column every wave. It's a cheap solution, i know, will continue re-working the spawning from here.

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.

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!

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

Happy Joltidays! A new quest has entered your quest log. Accept the quest and follow @Lightson-Hero to open today's slot on the calendar.

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!?

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

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!

Happy Joltidays! A new quest has entered your quest log. Accept the quest and follow @XHeheX to open today's slot on the calendar.

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