Think this makes v1 of the player's move set.
Looking forward to juicing and adding movement to some actions.

Working through a 'Vision Component' with line of sight, field of view and a 'proximity' detection.
Started with 1 ray cast, switched to triple whiskers, finally drew shapes for the detection ranges. Kinda fun.

First time working with an animator. Making flow charts has really cleared up some of the communication. I would've saved a bit of money and time doing this from the start.
At minimum, it's a good mental exercise to really reflect on what you're doing.

I uploaded clips to storage and saw 5 years ago (legit almost to the day) I had clips from my phone (!) of my first character design with super floaty jumps in Unity.
So I cut in recent stuff to compare. I still haven't shipped anything 😆. Time is a ⚫

Going from vanilla animations to incremental bits of juice adds SO MUCH FEEL. Even this early in development.
Even the very basic effects give me the juice to keep going.
(I work on actual enemy behavior soon)

I enjoy code first state machines. The Godot and Unity UI ones end up being too fiddly.
#Defold does not have a baked in FSM.
So I wrote one to handle transitions off anim/physics callbacks.
I've split animations to allow functionality like activating a collider mid swing.

More concept work for #screenshotsaturday
As for #Defold I'm working on marrying a player controller with a physics + animation state machine. Looking forward to sharing that next week.

Ever purchased art assets but they were different sizes and difficult to work with?
Little different #ScreenshotSaturday but I wrote a tool that takes a list of image files and builds them into one atlas image file with a consistent tile size.
Ready to animate in game!

Stacking effects are a common but sneaky game mechanic. Not wanting to write a 3,000-line switch statement, I went to the whiteboard.
With a factory and strategy pattern, you can design any kind of ability effect you want. To extend it, all you have to do is add an enum and a new file.

Sunday special putting the new bits together. Improved UI will be the goal this week.

This week's update is visually difficult.
I've ripped out the core and replaced it with something more traditional and ideally fun.
Its a system where you use abilities based on colors. Like link cooking I want the player to discover abilities.

I spent the weekend prototyping a color combat puzzle(?) idea
Mechanic being:
The player has a heavy and quick shot plus a swappable active color. R, G or B.
The enemy has a target color to hit for defeat.
The active color is added and the other two are partially subtracted.

The great garden gaslighting has begun. We convince ourselves this year will be different.
Then May hits
We've lost half the labels. Wondered why we started 32 hot peppers we would never eat.
After unloading yet another tray of starts from the plant store with no space to plant lol.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.

I loved how the levels in Bastion would build around the player.
Trying to replicate the effect. Isometric does weird things to the brain lol.
