Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Oh yeah, this is all I have properly added in the latest build haha.
I've been working on improving the coin animations for Deathly Descent! This is what I've got done so far, I still need to make the sprite-sheets for the gold and platinum coins.
I'm working on implementing Game Jolt's API with Deathly Descent, allowing me to, among other things, add trophies! I will have this update ready later this week! In the mean time, any suggestions/criticisms?
I wrote a modular language system! I can now add new entries with definitions in as many languages as I please and all from the inspector window in the Unity editor! This allows me to potentially have Hensen Hopper translated to other languages easily!
Oh yeah, also, I updated that algorithm for dash handling I shared yesterday so I can set the dash duration via the inspector window!
The beetle shell is now fully VISUALLY implemented! Next thing on my list is a unique sound for Hensen equipping it.
I made some updates to the hints system! Now it reads from the message hub to determine when to show hints and the hint texts now come from the lang system I wrote yesterday. This simplified my the hints handling algorithm A LOT from what it used to be!
This is a much larger (in terms of resolution) video than I've shared here before!!!
This is a full round of Hensen Hopper in it's current state! I mainly recorded this to showcase the new wave difficulty curve algorithm I've been working on!
I am impressed by my past self right now. The algorithm behind the unimplemented dashing mechanic (that I wrote like a year ago) uses a sine wave to smoothly increase/decrease Hensen's movement speed for a dash. That is so clever! I actually wrote this!?
Four hours in, and my autistic hyperfixation of the year has already spawned. I'm planning on DIY-ing a tensegrity dining table this year thanks to a video by Steve Mould where he showcased a small one. Oh yeah, also, Hensen Hopper, I'll work on that too.
