King of the hill! At this point, it's kind of just level building


Got the lesson notes and typing prompts done for the first area, which has seven levels, but I only have three levels made. And no, I'm not doing procedural. Yes, this is a primarily educational game, but I still enjoy certain aesthetics like hand-built levels

Also did a little spit-shine on my dialogue code. It's not fabulous, but it works for what I need. Mostly it's just a little introduction for a new game and then a little dialogue at the end of the level. There isn't really a "story" to this game, but it's just enough to let the player know that they're moving to the next area, out of the backyard and into the house, from the house to the city, and so on Maybe there will end up being something story-ish to it, I don't know. It's not part of the plan...

A little scene from Cyan, my horror RPG.

With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms

I made a little rope physics toy using Verlet integration for the toy jam!

Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient
