So...I can't do anything. My stuff all decided to break. Again. Because screw you, that's why. Because Godot.

I don't know. I might peek over at AlternativeTo and see if there aren't any good alternatives (that aren't Unity/UE)

Update below


I think I actually tracked down the problem, and if I'm right, it is what caused the cataclysmic failure of my last iteration as well

One of the biggest pains in any game (I think) is maps and spawning, making sure that maps load and that the players spawn where they're supposed to. For the longest time, I was doing everything manually. And it was a pain. Then I had a minor epiphany. I would use an Area3D and code an export var for a PackedScene which would be the appropriate map, and Vector3() coordinates for the spawning. Then I could effectively mass-produce teleport spots

I think it ended up being a bit like crossing wires, and it explains why I was getting errors in the editor itself. It was trying to load these scenes as export vars before they had loaded in the editor. But when I replaced the PackedScene with a simple string, the path to the scene instead, boom, no more problems

Kind of a bummer that I rage-trashed the last iteration (not all of it, but 95% of it), but the art for this one is still waaaay easier and the animation is proving to be easier as well. Also the story is better

Am I going to alert the Godot devs of this mishap? Is it really a bug or just user error? The answer to the second question is, I don't know. I have a suspicion it's user error, that I misunderstood some aspect of PackedScenes. But the answer to the first question is definitely no, because the Godot devs and I really don't get along

WE'RE CHARGING AHEAD!!!

Next up

Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.

Oh no! Jelly blobs of doom!

They're only supposed to be the size of a mini-yux

But doesn't he look so much more prepared for adventure?

And yes, she is carrying a deer foot staff, modeled after one hanging in our house

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

After 7 long years, the wait is finally over. Chapters 1-4 of DELTARUNE are out now!

Celebrate the parallel story to Undertale by completing these quests.

This game has gone through so many iterations it's not even funny anymore

The Button Effect – @Frycandle 's minimalist first-person puzzler inspired by The Witness, The Talos Principle and The Beginner's Guide, is coming to Steam! 

Play the demo and wishlist the game now: https://bit.ly/thebuttoneffect

NEW PACKAGES AVAILABLE NOW!

Version 1.1.0 is now available for Linux and Windows

-Platform bugs fixed where player fell through the floor

-Area 2 accessible through Level 8

-Minor spiffing up, wax and polish

Did some more work trying to fix up whatever went wrong and...yeah, let's just cut to the end where it didn't work

Started a new project, made some changes, derped around a little, made this cute little guy

@Leeeeee is a Jolter to Watch and 3D Modeler with almost 4 years of experience! Follow @Leeeeee before the quest ends on June 10 and you'll get Coins!

Today's accomplishments include a rather smooth state machine, a functioning opening cutscene, and name input. It's not pretty, but there aren't any bugs
