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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.
