Wanted to test an idea (yes I jump between projects a lot sue me)
Didn't think it would look so terrifying

Long gone are the days of the desert cat, the character is now a archaeologist (which was always the goal).
Noticing new chunk seem issues though...

Fixed the stitching between chunks of sand, lost the really defined shading of the sand though :(

I cannot wait for GMTK’s game Wordplay to be fully released I love word finding games, and it hits all the right spots

Everyone who sees this should go look at (and buy if you so please) Chloe’s game, She’s been working on it for a while now and it looks fun!

I took too long trying to replicate Quake movement... rip.
But hey I learned some new cool movement code!

Attempting to join the #gamesforgood Code for a Cause jam, I usually run into the wall of not having time though (usually caused by over scoping or unforeseen events)
Idea is a fast-paced 3D platformer about a cat killing rats and collecting yarn.

I get way too easily distracted!
Lack of self discipline, but hey at least it's just a fun hobby.
If I can get basic "AI" (ye olden game style AI) working for certain things I could actually finish this relatively fast. Maybe I'll beat the timer that is my attention span?

I also enjoy making small spooky looking prototypes, though I rarely ever share them as I can never quite get the horror genre to work when I make stuff. Well that can probably be said for most projects I've started and never finished :/

I use Opera (I know, I know, but the key clicks are nice) I just accidentally pressed F12 (there quick hide button) and didnt know I did it, I was working on a uni project ALL MY TABS DISAPPEARED, freaked out a bit... hit random buttons till they came back... thanks Opera for that heart attack

Figuring out how I want to build areas, for some reason I find level design easier in Blender yet prefer character modeling in BlockBench... Don't know why
Anyway, ignore the clearly copied from Webfishing textures, just needed a visual for the world, as 1 gray block is hard to look at #indiedev

Just had a very scary bug happen where godot kept on confusing my models at runtime/whenever I started godot back up... luckily I just had to delete the .gltf.import files and reimport it all but god was I spooked!
Figured out a way to do it and still be animating/modelling in BlockBench, I have succeeded once more in learning as little Blender as possible #indiedev

I've run into a problem with how I'm modelling stuff...
I'm using BlockBench for my models, but the normals of the model are making the inverse hull outlines break. I can fix it in Blender but I lose the animations from BlockBench as they get broken up into dopesheets per mesh... help me! #indiedev

An example of the Items, both picks use the same model just a different instanced Item where the models materials have been altered.
The Items model colours/material are set using a data file... any who I just wanted another pick of my picks

Nothing new visually to show but I've got the framework for model data files AND items so no more jank with adding an item model to the characters hand...
well not so much "no more" as "less than before" as I haven't decided on using materials v. textures or some mix #indiedev

Slowly but surely getting everything I want for a MVP.
I now have some of the code needed for equipping an item model to an entity model
The system I have right now for colouring these models is janky as heck though #indiedev

Not a big update but I set up state machines for my entities allowing me to avoid that "is_multiplayer_authority()" function for player entities
now I can just disable the processing of the state machine node if that player entity is just a "doll" of another player

A final post for the night regarding the goblin cave game, just spent an hour adjusting functions/network packets so entity model rotation could be sent/received
In the earlier gif, rotation was set when the position was updated... this meant entities could not spin in place #indiedev #tired
