Urgh at some point I need to rework how the Building lists work. I've got Walls/Doors/Roof/Fences all in the same array, which is fine for now, but If I keep adding new ones they need to be in their own arrays.


That'll also help with the House menu for changing Wall types etc. Right now I'm clamping the value when you cycle so you don't turn the walls into doors X'D

I also need to do a rework of the Rug system for Houses. Right now you select a location then you can cycle through the rugs, but it's probably better if you select on first then choose the location? That means a full rework of it. The reason it's done this way is because of how the data is stored, it's a grid, which makes it really easy to just draw them onto the floor of the house. Also must fix how they move if you adjust the House size by the left/top walls...

Maybe if I change it to a list? That would actually be quicker for the draw, since it's not checking every square, but that makes changing them slower since it has to run down the list looking for the coordinates. Maybe a combination of the two like I do with Snow? Hmm. Need to ponder this a bit.

Urm waht?

So when you guys called yourselves GameFREAK...

That sucks. I spent ages reworking the draw world code to make it better and it made everything slower

Guess drawing and storing the whole land, then only drawing part of it to the screen, is better than generating only part and drawing it constantly.

My mam gave me her old laptop, once ive finished setting it up ill get the thanks sent out!

Got it partitioned and just setting windows and possibly Linux, given everything Microsoft is doing I think now is a good time.

Thank you for your patience

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."

3 new card packs! 1 pull of each!

HMM! Well I think I've made it better? Framerate seems more stable on this poor laptop?

Not bad for built in graphics.

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.

YUS!
