"I should add some utility entities to my mapping setup to help make better test maps" has quickly spiraled into "we've got source engine I/O at home"
I haven't mapped for source in like 8 years but a handful of entities is enough for it to already feel like home again

The new tutorial map is nearing completion. I'm happy with how it feels to play now, just need to start texturing it properly!

Finally replaced my old 800x800m fog plane setup with individual fog volumes i can define as part of the map.
I'm getting silly with the colours here for testing but this does let me do more interesting things with interiors

And yes i'm already putting timetrial checkpoints in it ~w~

My adventure into rebindable inputs comes to a close for now as I've implemented some UI for the system I wrote yesterday. I'm not 100% with the design here, I think it could be better, but this is good enough now for me to move back to actual gameplay stuff.

Today's tomfoolery:
While there's no UI for it yet, remappable inputs are now implemented. A side-effect of allowing any valid key or mouse input for any action is that you can now bind jump to mouse scrolling, which has... consequences.
I don't know whether i'll fix this or not ;)

For UI sounds, yeah pretty much just that. Each "widget" (bool or float setting) contains its own audio emitter and plays sounds based on its own signals internally
For saving, I have an "Options" autoload which abstracts over ConfigFile and provides stuff like saving/loading/signals on change/etc

I don't know if video encoding is gonna like me for this one but...
Behold the fruits of my labour! A modular settings menu! Saves to disk and everything! And some actual UI design instead of hastily thrown together shapes! I'm starting to get the hang of containers and theming #godot #gamedev

Spent a while today porting the LD-58 map from the janky setup I was previously using (exporting each trenchbroom layer as a separate map for lightmap reasons) to the new workflow, and as a bonus it gave me an excuse to add timetrial checkpoints to it!

I've been trying to embrace something I remember brendon chung mentioned with skin deep about making small maps to test one feature at a time, so i've been slowly developing a collection of test maps. I've raved about it before but funcgodot + trenchbroom makes my life so much better

It started with adding a speedrun mode to the jam version that shows the timer and a speedometer and disables checkpoints in place of instant-respawn, and from there its just spiraled out of control

So work on my post-jam version of "Fragmentation" started well but after a friend managed to beat the jam version in 34 seconds i've rapidly fallen down a rabbit hole of "what if i added a mirrors edge style timetrial-with-splits speedrun mode"
behold my crude test map for this mode #gamedev #godot

alright it took six hours but the sound pass is basically done! i don't normally dip my toes into this level of audio design but i'm very happy with how this turned out!

in typical flatgub fashion i have once again overscoped and may not finish on time. For once I'm medicated for ADHD and its definitely helped avoid tunnel vision, but I still just underestimate how long things will take me.
I'm having fun at least, thats what counts :D
