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.

Anyone else suddenly craving cheese pizza???

Testing out some shaders for lava tiles.

Failed to get the meteorite needed for mega evolution, but i got a shiny at least.

Wasted a bunch of remote raid passes

Re-worked the wall code for Caves and Ruins so I can have both tilesets at once, and made it so walls can't generate over the Teleporter/Stairs. Now I just need to figure out how best to stop areas getting blocked off (since you can only mine ore walls)

Still like 200 cards i need so i did another 10 pull and got nothing fancy that I didnt already have

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."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

oh no!

Had to do a rework of draw ground code, and sort out a patch for existing save files to deal with this issue.

I pulled the god card!

Also Arceus is here too I guess

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.

There we go! Features now effect which floor layout parts are used! This was already the case for floors with only one feature, but since I added the multipart Ruins all parts were the same (aka all with water around them).
