Dev Day 2 - Part 2


Ah, 3 AM, my friend. You return.

And so ends day 2. I’m cutting it a liiiiittle bit closer on some systems than I’d like, but I think I can get something at least halfway decent out in time :)

First off - Particles!!

I wasn’t going to add these at first, but I feel like they just keep things from being too bland. Resources were just sort of…. Vanishing before, and that didn’t look all that great.

Next - I did manage to get pretty much 99% of the UI and NPCs done!

There’s a right-click menu used to tell your people what you’d like them to do. The inventory is keyboard based - you have an 8 slot hotbar which you can use the number keys to access.

Finally, I finished the building system. All that’s left on that is to add more things to actually build, as well as the crafting system.

So! To-do tomorrow, before time is up:

  • Finish up NPCs (a new sprite, for sure)

  • Add more buildings

  • Implement enemies

Goodnight for now!

Dev Day 3 - Wrapping up, and thoughts

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

"Our work is never over" they said.

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)

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.
