Who needs sleep


The guard system is pretty much done, which leaves the rest of today to get player mechanics in place, and level design.

How it basically works:
-Guards stick to their patrol path until they notice something
-Sensations pulse out on a timer (or event related) to all guards
-Guards have low and high priorities for sensations: if they’re on patrol they’ll investigate low priority sensations, but high priority sensations (ie a new noise close by) will override them.
-When they reach a sensation they start wandering near it randomly to check for things
-Once guards have checked a sensation out, it gets marked and will be ignored for awhile (possibly forever)
-Guards have attention spans, if they’ve been following the same sensation for awhile they might lose interest and try another one.
-Naturally spotting a player overrides all other behavior in order to chase and, eventually, attack them.

On the downside, guard path finding is a bit janky around corners due to godot’s pathing not handling tile based pathing correctly. There’s a possible workaround, but I don’t really have time to add it.

Aside: We tried 8 directional movement for the first time (way better for pixel movement and guard sight angles), and it’s pretty sweet.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...
