Fixed some nasty bugs, changed the dynamic font to Eeve Somepx's great "Hungry" font, and few things more!

Now it's time to go to sleep! See ya tomorrow!


If you folks want to know which font I'm talking about, that's the one: https://www.patreon.com/posts/december-22-75998898


AND if you masochistic folks are curious about the bugs I was solving... the nastier one was this:

I was trying to change the Upgrade Card selection from a second touch on the cards, instead of the ugly placeholder button I was using. I changed the code to take that into consideration: "when the user touches this card again, consider it as if they were selecting it."

However, for some reason, some touches were being ignored. It was the worst kind of bug because it didn't happen always -- just sometimes.

After much probing, changing, debugger, etc, etc, I realized what was the problem.

Apparently, when I was touching the Upgrade Card for the second time too fast, Construct was not considering this a second touch, but, instead, a double tap!

Did my code have double-tap treatment? Nope.

Could I disable double tap in my game? Or at least reduce the double tap time? Not that I know!

Anyways, I handled this case separately in my code, and... done. One bug less!

A used a Construct Function to make the final result repeat less code, but it didn't look pretty in the end.

BUT who's gonna see it?

Anyways... see ya tomorrow!

HELLO EVERYONE! How are you doing this Monday?

Are you folks excited for this week? What are you planning to do?

I'd love to hear it in the comments!!!

WORKING A BIT ON THE MISSIONS UI!

Last time I posted a kinda bare bones version of this screen, now we got some of its art!

Still not totally satisfied with all elements, but I guess it's already a nice improvement :)

Everybody talking about the Super Mario movie and here I am thinking how cool it would be if they made a movie out of THIS game...

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

CONSTRUCT TUTORIAL - SPRINGY MOVEMENT (PART 2/2)

Happy Video Game Day!

July 8 is Video Game Day, a holiday that's obviously close to our hearts at Game Jolt.

Celebrate by completing our quests! They won't be around long, so get the rewards while you can.

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

QUICK UPDATE on the MISSIONS SYSTEM!

I have been working on this progression layer and things have been going well! Here's a video of me testing this system!

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?
