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)

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Oh yeah, this is all I have properly added in the latest build haha.

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

Four hours in, and my autistic hyperfixation of the year has already spawned. I'm planning on DIY-ing a tensegrity dining table this year thanks to a video by Steve Mould where he showcased a small one. Oh yeah, also, Hensen Hopper, I'll work on that too.

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.

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

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 @therealkomasan 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!?
