Reworked Weather to be Chunk based and things seem to be working so far (this island only has 1 Chunk though... so time will tell)

Also, connected Weather Speed to the Game Speed! NYOOOOOM!


Looking at how I'm storing Snow Data.

I'm making a SnowGrid for the map and saving each snow id in the cells so I can check the grid coordinates if there's something there already.

I'm also saving the same id in a SnowList which I can run through to decrement the Snows Life (since running through a huge grid would be slow).

Thing is though, I can't save Grids in a ds_map which is how I'm storing Chunk Data, so I might need to figure something else out, or just move the grid to the Chunk Object and not the Chunk Data. The list can go into it though.

So I'll have to store it outside of that, no big deal really just an extra thing to look after when culling and save/loading.

Thinking: I could save a Ds_map as x12y25, then when checking for existing obstacles check for a Ds_map with that name? It would be stored as:

x12y25 in SnowList in SubChunkMap

But I don't think I need that? I'm already saving the Snow Id in a list, so I can just put:

snow. id in SnowList in SubChunkMap

With or without the map I'm still going to have to run through the whole list looking for the correct entry, may as well save using an extra map.

YUS!

I've been after this for AGES!

New Pokymans cards i got!

Particularly fond of the Togepi one!

New AoE spell sprites.

I think the Fire one needs something in the middle, and they all need particles. Kinda want the Ice one to look more like it's growing rather than just moving.

But these will do for now!

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Thank you to everyone that gave me Charged Stickers last month!

You are all amazing and I can't express my gratitude enough!

Working on adding options to generate and see the Game World before you start a new game.

It seems to be displaying the map at the wrong scale though? Very odd! I tried zooming in and out and it doesn't match any, so it must be a UI scale issue??

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."

Stop it.😭

Stop with the random shiny lickitongues!!!
