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.

The gang's all here!

Been working on the artwork for the spider enemy!!! This is a preview of what it'll look like in-game. I am gonna remove all of these drop shadows as I usually apply those to the spritesheets themselves once I've drawn the animations.

I've been working on improving the backdrop for Hensen Hopper! The way I'm doing it this time is I'm creating a 32x32 image for each texture I want, tiling it to fill the backdrop image, and using layer masks to "paint" where that texture will be visible.

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.
