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.

Since I have it. Last clip for the original idea.

Expanded the mock and found a more "gameable" idea.
Instead of raw RGB values, we've got color orbs.
Basic strategy ok n how you set your attack and block slots.

Mocked out a new UI to make the mechanic more obvious.
Don't think this will become a game but I'll do a bit more.
Gonna borrow some from the Defect in STS.
