Okay one more, ya'llve been good.
Refined the menus a bit more and made changing emotions into a permanent testing menu. Much easier to test emotion-related behaviors now!

Lots of new text features and the ability to write custom greeting dialog being added! Selectable fonts! Uploadable custom fonts! Change the color and outline color of your font! Write custom greeting dialog! Tag it to emotions! (Or turn it off entirely!)

Rolling into 2026, I'd like to say a hearty THANK YOU! to the over 100 incredible people out there that have backed Tascots' development so far.
You have made working on this little project each week an absolute joy.

Watching twitch in the godot editor, as #godot intended
(this was a little side project to get twitch integration set up for future Tascots features 👽)

Oh man it's fun to finally get to test these new features.
Certain animations have sub-settings, like where exactly an item sits when your Tascot holds one!

The Tascot is hungry, and it's spotted some nearby food! So the motive becomes EAT_FOOD_FROM_WORLD.
The MIND script sets the motive and then consults the FSM.
The FSM contains a flowchart for each behavior, and as long as the motive is set, it can check the flowchart to resume what it was doing:

So the first step was to simplify and break up the FSM states into simpler, more specific behaviors (like HOLD and PURSUE)
Next I made their decision-making script save a MOTIVE, so they can repeatedly check on what they should be doing.
For example, Here's how they address being hungry:

Firstly, Tascots use a Finite State Machine to drive behavior. It involves a parent "Manager" script and various child "State" scripts for each discreet behavior a Tascot makes.
These states define specific behaviors, and the Manager can switch between them. Like standing in IDLE or walking in MOVE

TascotMaker2 is also much more flexible with sprite requirements! You can upload sprites within a range of 400x400 to 40x40.
You can adjust your Tascot's hitbox to match your sprites, set a global offset for all sprites or even adjust individual sprite offsets!

The second version of the TascotMaker is coming along nicely!
Adding little details like warning the user if they've already added a tag or forcing the user to hear their keystrokes even if they have a silent keyboard (you're welcome)
