Currently making Tascots, a make-your-own desktop pet game!
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 👽)

More TestLab features! This time for the Sit and Eat add-ons.

I didn't demonstrate it here, but Eat also has a subsetting for where the food sits when being eaten!

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!

After a million years of refactoring, I can finally show cool stuff again, like the ability to change your Tascot's hitbox to match their sprites more accurately!

In TascotMaker2, CUSTOM animation states have been expanded to have an INTRO, BODY, and OUTRO animation!

You can define how many times the middle/body animation loops, or let it loop indefinitely until uploaded audio completes!

Some nice progress on the sprite Import Menu, which now has enough functionality to easily clip out individual sprites from spritesheets!

I couldn't help myself so TascotMaker version 2 now allows oversized sprites to be imported via a new Import window (WIP) that lets you choose between resizing or cropping the sprite to fit the standard Tascot format 🤌✨

Recently added some additional flexibility to the DialogMaker's Advanced Mode. Now playtesting your dialogue's timing and pronunciation is even easier!

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)

I should be working on the meatier stuff, but adding fun little conveniences to TascotMaker2 is more fun. Like the editor showing you how the system uses fallback sprites in realtime!

Recently completed a complete overhaul of the behavior trees to make them more modular!

Tascots now string different actions together to accomplish a goal. e.g. why sit on the ground if there's a chair nearby?

We here at Tascots believe in a new, novel concept called "Deshittification". We use this philosophy to do things like upgrading menus with useful, intuitive features and helpful quality-of-life improvements!

(Version 2 of the TascotMaker is getting a lot of neat upgrades!)

Recently added a new voice setting: Pip Speech!

This mimics how most popular RPGs play audio over text, with a small audio clip played repeatedly.

You can add multiple clips, and even set a variance that will play the clip at slightly different pitches!

Hope you're all feeling good emotions, because your Tascots can too!

They experience emotional fluctuations based on events that occur to them, their needs bars, or via authored dialogue triggers!

Our desktop mascots can eat, talk and OH MY GOD THERE GOES BUTTON WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

Tascots have a lot of details you can give them!

Birthdays, age, species, favorite foods, personality types and more!

You can also make sure to leave your mark with your own personal ~Author Signature~
