What's a collectathon without collectables? That's right not a collectathon. + some audio and mechanic tests.

Tail

The movement system in the previous project (Unity) was heavily geared for 2.5D and would require major updates to adapt to full 3D so I remade the entire Godot system in Unity from scratch. + An outline shader test

Played around with a bit polish, it's pretty much done other than maybe some camera tweaking. I improved wall jump a lot (zeroing movement, animations, actually visually sticking to walls), and some particle magic. I want to zoom out the cam a tad.

"grey"boxing the main part of the desert level. Making edits based on what feels right.

Working on Mario 64 style slopes. Would love to make slide levels. But I noticed my movement felt like crap when actually platforming. Time to fix that! Subtle changes so far. Also testing speeding up as a separate keybind than bound to spin.

Went on a really big side quest today with audio, but audio is fine for now. I have decided to give my core mechanic a little experiment. So I've been setting up the systems for it. Portals felt right.

Ignoring my messy hand writing I wrote a draft for the skeletal desert. A little spoiler-y & doesn't reflect the final game. Going for a fire + ice theme. However this week has been pretty intense for the game, so I need to deflate for a day or two lol.

Remade the weird sky in Unity. I had to make the sun a physical 3D object with CPU code not GPU which is more expensive, but other than that it's all GPU (including sun rotation and pulsing)

I had some really hard difficulties figuring out the code for this. There was a lot of issues. I ended up just duct taping code from the first game cutting all 2.5D stuff + adding new stuff. Also this showcases BLJ for good measure lol (sorta a bug)
