Save Data System


I managed to implement a particular save system on the same day that I talked about the github. Not sure if it was before or after the post, but right now I am pretty confident it is fully functional as no bugs were found.

Different Scenarios produce different save data, which can all be used in one game. It is convenient for the projects, but it also has potential for save importing from other games in the same Engine (and UNDERTALE), which someone could hypothetically use.

It would be pretty cool to do something with that. It would pair especially nicely with Wonders of Patience if I ever went on to do a full UTY Rewrite to ensure the Story is capable of aligning with Canon. As for the current UTY Story... I am a bit more hesitant on merging the two.

Maybe I could do something simple like make Items stored in Boxes carry over? That would be pretty novel. Sort of like a pseudo-new game plus.

I haven't quite intended the possibility, but I could also try out a dedicated UTY save import feature too? That seems like something that could be done for a full version of the game. No promises.

It will be a good while before the Games reach a point where I have to think very much about any of these. But it is exciting to think of potential ambitions. Hopefully one day an idea strikes me that allows me to tap into the full potential of this.

Wasn't expecting to make a Devlog today because of Wonders of Patience, but I managed to make some progress while trying to help with someone's UNDERTALE mod. Weapon on-hit effects are now in-game! (Speed also stacks like in UT for the Coffee Beans)

A temporary tile layout I did before sorting out a tileset for this room The original room was a 318x596 background rather than made with 20x20 tiles, despite mostly being made with them. I made this to figure out where tiles would be and what is needed.

2 Day Devlog Streak lets goooooo Added a small flavor addition of the Missing Poster that allows it to be used in the small amount of time we have it. It's functionally useless still, but it should be nice to have over clover not doing anything with it.

Made progress on the Flowey Intro today!

A Disgaea reference? in MY Dragonfable? Hell yeah dood!

I just saw this Fanart of Wonders of Patience and it's so CUUUUUTE! I really like this interpretation of the finer details of a small sprite that you don't see in-game.

Got this funny bug while playtesting lol

Looks like what previously seemed to be a dead-end didn't stop that progress. Can't really center the HP bar without billboard mode weirdness, or making the HP bar scale decrease from the center rather than the right. Might need to look up a tutorial.
