I think i've cleaned up most of the bugs i know about, and i'm in a passable spot for a game at 0.3.x. Heh.

So, i've just pushed out a playable build of my game. "Roguelike Academy. Freshman Year"

This is version 0.3.0, so, while it's playable, and beatable, and most of the features are there... bugs likely abound.
All of the art, and music are placeholders.

It feels kinda like a cheat that just generating a level, rotating it 3 degrees, and lerping it past makes a decent title screen.

I've built the worlds smallest randomizer. It's got a Sphere 0, a Sphere 1, and a Sphere 2. Proper logic is followed when laying out the items.
Sphere 1 requires either the key or the ring of jumping, sphere 2 requires *both*.
In theory, there's a sphere 3, ([key|ring] sword), but you can

This is the first image of a succesfull spawn of the third floor, with the miniboss room, the stairs and everything connected.
I'd still call it a fail, because the way the corridor is drawn into the boss area breaks some specific corridor rules, but damn does it feel nice to have it in.

I've been working on wizard spells. Here, we get to see one of the wizards starting spells (Curse of Life Drain, a DoT), and one of the more powerful spells, Ice storm.

Been a *while* since I've posted.
I've gotten pulled into a roguelike project, that's still nameless, working heavily with Claude.
Just pushed a 0.1.0 release this weekend. The warrior is the only class implemented "fully" and balance is... not.

Working on a tileset generation tool for my own pipeline.
I'm betting there's tools that already do exactly this, but i don't know what they are, and it feels like the learning curve to find and master them is higher than the effort curve of just writing my own.

ChatGPT just gave me a task. Hah!
It actually makes sense in context api.txt is a file i generate and pass back to the llm to prevent function name drift.
The llm doesn't know i generate it locally, and doesn't need to. but it's actually worked pretty well.

This is just silly enough I felt like I should post it. I suspect people on both sides of the opinion on ChatGPT would find it somewhat amusing, if for different reasons.

With the next step being beter UX and Tileset stuff in DungeonSmith, i decided i needed a tool to mark up tilesets with autotile data.
But, writing that is boring. So, instead, I coached a local LLM thru the process of writing it, in a language i don't use regularly.

It doesn't work. I suspect if you know how reactive works, you're giggling at me now.
So, i asked chatGPT what i was doing wrong, and it spat out the following code:
It works. It makes sense (mine didn't. heh). I'm researching right now to find out if this is correctly idiomatic.

I've never felt quite as schooled as this:
DungeonSmith is using reactive mongo/webflux for some of it's microservices, mainly so I can learn how to work with it.
I'm still learning, so this was my first attempt at converting declarative saving code to reactive:

You have to love false positives.
the scanner is absolutetly determined this packages containes Sudo somehow. Because the person who created it uses a organization name of "Sudo Plays Games"
Sheesh. Least it's easy to suppress.

Well, would you look at that.
Just a few hours to go from "gathering dust on the hard drive" to "Deployed on a digital ocean droplet, and working"
Had to entirely redo the deployment process for the server, and upgrade to java 17.
But, she runs.
Now... updates.

I'm cleaning up and pushing up personal projects, so I can have them publicly available for Resume purposes, but it brought back to my attention the one game I have finished and published.
This was an entry for the #7DRL gamejam back in 2023.
It's essentially #MarioMaker but for #roguelites

I've been working on various prototypes for gameplay, and I think i've found one I like.
So, it's wave and region based. In that there will be ~10 regions, every minute, a new region activates and spawns a number of waves of enemies.
Hope you cleared the last one.
(Remember, prototype)

Here we go. Got the new Skeletal Animation Sprite into my game, along with the bare bones of a new tileset to represent the interior of the warehouse.
I'm also fiddling with the lighting, but i've never even touched lighting before, so i'd expect changes upon changes.
Still learning the basics.

And here's just idle animations doing the same thing.
Shortly after I send this, i'm gonna see about merging the animations with blend nodes in the Animation Tree, so i can use the upper body animations from the Idle with the lower body from the Walking.

So, i think i'm about half way through converting my POC Skeletal Animation to actual usable code i can put into my game.
Smooth transitions between six different directions, with animation sync between them all. Here's a basic walk cycle.

It seems unfair that working with 2D animation means you need multiple skeletons for your sprite.
I just don't see how to get away with less than 4.

Finished up my POC for skeletal animation in Godot. End result is very passable, and better than most of the programmer art i've produced in the past.

You know what would be a wonderful feature, that would mesh well with starter packs?
A mass follow-back option on notifications like the one attached.
The problem is, if you expand it, and go into it, and try to follow people one by one, the notification changes, then disappears.
