Deadline has been met.


While hosting Development Stream №75 (thank you to everyone who attended ❤️), I finished Scene 5, combined all the animated bits together and produced a completed trailer. It was a bit late in the evening when I sent it tho (like... exactly midnight...), so I'm still waiting for any sort of feedback. It's interesting how, despite the fact that I have everything completed, I still have things to stress about and can't fully relax.

Speaking of things I need to stress about. I still have exams coming! And I need to concentrate on preparation and study, so devlogs will be a bit scarce these upcoming two weeks. If I'm lucky, I'll still get time for streams; and when that happens, we're getting full speed back into development, friends. ❤️

I will NOT be posting the full animated trailer online - for now. FOR NOW. Firstly, it's not polished. I had to cut many corners in order to meet the deadline, and I'm not happy with how some of the bits turned out because of that. I want to redo them before putting this baby of mine out there. Secondly... I feel like posting it now wouldn't really be appropriate? Considering the fact that this is a trailer for a game that doesn't exist anywhere outside of my laptop yet. Basically, I want to have a playable build ready first - and release the trailer in conjunction with it.

However, what I decided I can share is a highlight from Scene 5 that I finished today. Which is attached for your viewing pleasure to this post ❤

(see those buildings in the beginning? yea, im not happy with those buildings.)

Also, I have done the math, and this entire trailer...🧐🧮 is at least 50% your support 🤗 without you and this awesome community, I would have never been able to accomplish the task of creating an entire animated trailer in a bit over 2 weeks. Thank you all guys so, so very much. ❤

This marks a new stage in the development process. I may talk about it more in the future. For now, I wish you all an incredibly pleasant Friday 🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤

This is partially why I wanted to switch to Tilemaps. They are capable of stuff like THIS. Now I'm able to recreate any sort of lighting, any time of day, within any location that I create.

The first draft of a 3D scene made out of 2D objects, very rough, very saturated (i was light testing), very much representative of the parallax I wanted to achieve. What do you think?

Read the article for technical details.

Now that I'm in Master's degree, I'm considering pitching OGLS as my exam project for the autumn semester. For more info, read the article!

In other news, NPC system finally works in 3D. At least, the planning/moving/stopping parts.

I always loved Springtrap. Easily my favourite character in all of FNAF franchise.

Hello, Christine.

Hello! It's been a bit, but this project is back to the top of my priority list.

And Godot 4 released, which means that I have a great chance to clean up my project by remaking it from scratch!

More info in the article below.

Hosted Development Stream №82. Thank you everyone who attended!

I completed the quick-time event script! The prompt shows up and the press is registered. Also finished the intermission animation. Now to the second half of the song!

I wrote a list of the worst problems with the build which I'm aiming to fix with this remake.

I decided to tackle the Tiling first. It feels different, but easy and precise. I love it a lot.

Further info in the article below.

Repainted the TV screen. Fixed the code so that the mouse input goes through to the tilemap, then realized I don't need it. Fun days.

I made character shadows with shaders. However, they intersect with light occluder 2D shadows, creating unrealistic double shadows. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get rid of them. Any Godot 4 gurus out there? 🙏🥺
