Took a breather from the Godot project to play some games and go on vacation. Time to get back at it!
Tonight I've decided I need to organize myself. Started trello board to keep track of my To Dos.
I figure moving forward I'll try to knock off one thing from the list a night.

Some small updates this time:
- swapped out default font
- refactored menu and individual menu opening / closing to use signals
- updated resource GUI to reflect changes in army composition

Been awhile since my last #Godot update as the current work has not gone as quickly. As you can tell, a lot of it is UI / menu focused. It's not my strong suit but I'm starting to pick it up.

Spent a majority of the day trying to refactor a decouple a major component... ended up rolling it back as I made so many changes all at once without refactoring the the that was coupled on to it as I went.
I love spaghetti but not in my code.

Couple minor changes and couple bigguns:
Minor, all attack tiles are now highlighted. For some reason allies are highlighted red and not green... Weird. WIP
Major, tactics and ranged units are implemented! Only two tactics for now: charge (push and chase) and repel (push away)

I was running into some input issues on the previous action GUI and ended up reworking it. I like the way this version turned out though it still needs styled and themed.

Further progress on the user interface and player controls. Units can now be moved and then attack. A dynamic action GUI now appears.
Still has a lot of jank, but lots of progress tonight!

Godot Tactical Game Progress: functioning turns and enemy pathfinding!

Implemented simple unit vs unit attack in my Godot project.
The highlighting of the enemy units within range took me far longer to do than I'd like to admit. Thank goodness for dictionaries
Next up, turns and enemy AI.

Created a simple foot soldier sprite for my tactical game in Godot. Then rigged up a hue based shader and set up some basic functionality for palette swaps.
Might be cool to let the player pick their clan colors and have each faction set up with their own as well.

Minor progress for my current #Godot project:
The grid manager no longer requires unit spawns to be hard coded. Added spawn tile layer node and a function that grabs all spawn cells then iterates through the unit list and assigns them a starting position.

Working on a turn based tactical RPG in #Godot. Not very far along but I have some basic grid management completed.
Trying to think of how I want to handle turns next. Should it be decided based on unit or faction. I can see an argument for both.

First pass on my first #Godot boss fight
Real simple at the moment but it'll go through an idle phase then randomly select patrol, vertical leaping, or spitting.
I have an animation for a licking attack rigged up and ready to go but I'm not sure how I'll integrate it.
