Hmm, thinking about how best to make Goblins interact with each other


Can probably reuse the code for finding Chairs.

Will need to add a variable to store the Goblin, I could reuse the one for storing the current Chair, but that might cause issues since they have different variables.

I should add Chatting to the State Machine, along with a new Sub-State for different parts of the chatting actions.

Maybe add the Emotes to the system that lets them jump and spin (as used in the Support Statue Parade)

If a Goblin is Wandering or Idle, find another Goblin who is free, assign each other as interacting, approach them, face each other, then do a random Chatting action.

Ok, got some tile variations on the Beach, but it's just RNG. I need to work out some patterns and use those instead. I had some with little bits of grass but they looked bad.

Also added Shells and Glass Bottles.

Hmm, trying particles with my magic system. I don't think they really work with the Static Shocks spell.

Also adding a lighting effect, but it doesn't apply to the particles.

I tried, but the offset isn't updated Hmm.

Now I have Fireballs!

This week's #FanArtFriday celebrates Pizza Tower! The game's 2nd anniversary is on January 26!

Got around to adding some blending between the Beach and Desert now i should probably populate the Beach with some things to make it a bit nicer to look at!

Will do tile variants like I have for Grassland, but I'd like objects to interact with too.

The NPCs in Weefager are full of charm and are very important for uncovering the game’s deep lore! If you love Weefager, be part of it by joining the Kickstarter pre-campaign!

Hmm. Attack movement (for spells) set attacks to use if runSysTimer mod 10 == 0, instead of the if alreadyHit == false, to run the collision code.

Seems to work I should probably experiment to see how infrequent I can be with the trigger.

I now have Magic!

kinda.

Another month down, and another chunk of game done! I hope you're all doing well and having a great new year so far!

I don't feel like I got as much done as last month (weird since that was holidays XD) but I'm happy with my progress!

I THINK that's all fixed and working? Gained loads of FPS back.

I thought I'd need to remove another nested for loop, but since Ground Surface is only done once I don't.

Only issue is I've lost the dust cloud when adding Paving.
