Out of energy or health? 💔 Want time to fly faster?
Hop on into your trusty tent and nap the night (or day) away!💤

It's a little janky, but working and that's all that matters to me right now lmao😂

⌛Time is an illusion... but also a fun excuse for colorful overlays!🌈🌞

For testing purposes I sped up the sec/hr to showcase the new implementation of passing time (definitely not a jojo reference😉)

Is the car 3d or 2D? Why can't be both😉

Had lots of fun playing around with the 2D layers to get the car to look convincing 🤩🤩🤩

Seriously, the things I put myself through just to avoid 3D modelling is wild🤣

This is not a drill ❗❗ Cryptid Campsite is expanding 😱
So excited to finally get the scene switch working
🤩🤩🤩
Each scene properly saves and loads when player triggers the "doorway". Eventually I would like it to trigger upon enter but I'm just happy it works lmao

Hm... I wonder what's being hidden behind these locked gates? 🤔🤔🤔

Guess you'll just have to wait to find out 😊

A tool hotbar that can be customized through drag and drop??? Sign me the HECK up! 🤩

This was my first time making a hotbar so let me bask in this glory for a moment 🥰🥰🥰

Cleaned up lots of the visuals for the foraging 🏞
✨Particles : Damaged Grass, Trees, Rocks
🎞 Animations: Trees shake / fall opposite of Player
🖼 Sprites: 1/2 Clipped grass disappears when damaged

Not the most fun, but necessary for that good feel 👌

🤖Spawning only occurs in viable locations on the map that are not already taken up by another object

As a gamer myself, I'm always critical about the inventory of other games 😤
So it was a no-brainer that I needed to implement drag-drop to Cryptid Campsite's inventory system too!
It so satisfying to just shuffle items around now~ 🥰

My, My... What do we have here?

A finished dialogue system perhaps?

Yes! Yes it is! How delightful~💕

Cryptid Campsite is now a farming sim ⁉⁉😱

Okay maybe not actually a simulation but at least it now has gardening which is fun lol 😂😂😂
