Reworked Weather to be Chunk based and things seem to be working so far (this island only has 1 Chunk though... so time will tell)

Also, connected Weather Speed to the Game Speed! NYOOOOOM!


Looking at how I'm storing Snow Data.

I'm making a SnowGrid for the map and saving each snow id in the cells so I can check the grid coordinates if there's something there already.

I'm also saving the same id in a SnowList which I can run through to decrement the Snows Life (since running through a huge grid would be slow).

Thing is though, I can't save Grids in a ds_map which is how I'm storing Chunk Data, so I might need to figure something else out, or just move the grid to the Chunk Object and not the Chunk Data. The list can go into it though.

So I'll have to store it outside of that, no big deal really just an extra thing to look after when culling and save/loading.

Thinking: I could save a Ds_map as x12y25, then when checking for existing obstacles check for a Ds_map with that name? It would be stored as:

x12y25 in SnowList in SubChunkMap

But I don't think I need that? I'm already saving the Snow Id in a list, so I can just put:

snow. id in SnowList in SubChunkMap

With or without the map I'm still going to have to run through the whole list looking for the correct entry, may as well save using an extra map.

It's not as good as when the player fishes, but NPC's can now fish in Fishponds. I need to set up some more variables to get the bobber to bob and to let them be able to cast the line.

Also animate the water...maybe add shader?

That's tomorrows job.

Need to find time to do this!

I...I think the Fish Pond is working...

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.

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."
