Smitty 2

After some refinements and troubleshooting, I finally settled the dialog system straight from a blank canvas

And it works pretty flawlessly, thanks to Godot's label visibility features

Preparing the demo for the upcoming Sonic Amateur Games Expo this September, so everything has to work properly, including the title screen!

Update on the capsules: They now show balloon popups of occasional call for help and the required number of pellets to break them open

If you've played Smitty's Journey, the jingle that plays should sound familiar to you

Made one of the major but optional collectibles in the game: Hostage capsules

You need 20 energy pellets to hack these and release the captured Dropple inside

Working on the main menu took me quite a number of trial and error, but I managed to almost complete it

I also have been wanting a cut-out transition for a long while and I finally get to make one, huzzah

Wanted to do idle animations much earlier, but not feeling like it until now.

Anyway, here are the 2 animations I did for Smitty.

Figuring out how to properly switch scenes in Godot, and hey, it works flawlessly! Now to add some transitions and more persistent states.

We finally got the HUD, people! And guess what, ability bubbles are back too!

Follow-up to the last post: Fireballs now explode on contact with the enemy.

I also figured out how to make use of the additive blend mode through materials, thanks Godot!

Finally, we got projectiles!

Of course, Smitty doesn't get it outright, he needs the Ability Bubbles to be able to shoot projectiles.

Also, if you question the super basic UI, it's only temporary. Don't worry, folks.
