So it turns out removing the quests was actually pretty easy thanks to it reading sent messages to determine when quest progress had been made rather than reading any scripts directly. I simply deleted the script and nothing broke! 😲

I also want to phase out the user profiles this weekend because that's, plainly and simply, an outdated feature, like, everyone has their own accounts on things these days, who NEEDS this? ALSO that would allow GJ Leaderboard implementation!

If anyone has watched the devlog I shared here yesterday, yes, I am planning on scrapping the quests system. Here's why:

Okay, so, YEAH, I've been away for QUITE A WHILE. I don't know why but I just hadn't been feeling it for the longest time there but I'm gonna be getting back into it starting tomorrow morning! Here's the devlog video I just posted!

There seems to be a crash that happens sometimes on the win32 version that I'm gonna fix another day because if I'm being 100% honest, I don't have it in me right now. I still haven't fully recovered from working a 12/5 all month, okay?

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

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

OKAY! Back into it! Now where did I leave off with that quest system...?

I might not do too much work on Hensen Hopper this weekend because I'm really just not feeling it today. Might feel different tomorrow, no idea.

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!

Is there even a point to keeping a changelog when Game Jolt has pretty much become my changelog at this point? 🤣
