This will probably be the last thing I do today because it's getting pretty late (by my standards since I work very early mornings) but I've gotten the internal implementation for the beetle shell power up working already!!!


It was surprisingly simple honestly. First I added a damageAbsorptionPoints property to the PlayerController script along with a method to add damage absorption points (which also clamps the amount the Player can carry to a max of 3) and modified the TakeDamage method to ignore the damage reduction and instead decrement the player's absorption points if there are any greater than zero of them.

Then I wrote what is more or less a functional implementation of an AbsorptionDrop class (which will be referred to in-game as the beetle shell) that simply adds 3 absorption points when collected. This drop expands upon the same abstract Drop class as the health drops do already.

Next time I'm off work I'll probably clean up this code a bit in any ways that future me notices that present me does not see as well as work on some art and effects related to this power up!

You see I was GONNA get to work on the procedural enemy wave generation algorithm but then I remembered I still haven't drawn a defeat animation for the spider so now I'm working on that instead. 🤣

Doing it in layers starting with the web as usual.

Well, that didn't take long HAHA!

Why did nobody ever tell me you could simply export to GIF from DaVinci Resolve?

AAH! SPIDERS!

Very unfinished but the backdrop image, as it is in this video, is already leagues better than what I had last weekend! I'm going to work on it incrementally over the coming weeks as I work on implementing the stages idea I talked about before!

Play @pm-studios ' Bandit Trap Open Beta!

The spider is more or less complete functionally AND artistically! I might try to update the enemy spawning algorithm before I release any new alpha builds with the spider, though. I'm on my whiteboard trying to think through that problem.

I've been working on the backdrop today! Among other things I've done, I made a bush! I know, SOOOO impressive lol.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

This is a short video showing off the new procedurally generated enemy waves in Hensen! In theory, the game will become more and more unpredictable as I continue to build and implement new enemies!!!
