Working on music and some background flair for my level in my game. In this level you explore underwater domes and glass pipes on the sea floor, with a neon bioluminescent aesthetic.

I spent a couple days experimenting with the main loop, none of it really stuck, but I finally found a direction I want to take this game. Anyways the water level is starting to look like an actual level.

Spent a few hours today remaking some Sims build mode functionality. Not really making a game with it atm, just a curiosity. Walls are unbelievably jank, but not bad for a couple hours. I'm mostly messing with the system in case I make something like it.

merged my sims build mode thingy with my A* test. Really cool to see the two systems interact very well together. There's probably some edge cases but I'm pretty happy with this.

Smaller fish pack, contains the mummyfish and the anubisfish, + a new water + a pyramid decor + a new theme.

Steam Deck! Running on the LCD model but should run on the OLED just fine.

Working on the wall jank, they actually connect now, editor colors work correctly, camera has different angles and views. I'm calling it good enough for now. Reminds me of building random houses that make no logical sense in the sims as a kid.

I think I have a bit too much fun writing the wiki. Shoutout to the 5% of players that read all of this lol.

Been running some art style experiments. I kinda wanted the sprites to pop a bit more and blend easier, as well as going back to my original vision for the game. So trying 4:3 + CRT shader + some pixelization + sprite outlines. I need to test it on Linux.

No longer forcing 4:3. Also added this jump particle. Also didn't mention this in the last post, but the outline is procedural, so it works on custom characters too.
