This #screenshotsaturday I added shallow water, because I thought the water looked kinda refreshing and I wanted to give the player the opportunity to wade and splash around in it!

I worked a little bit on sounds for reading signs :)

My recent goal has been to make sprites for every entity in the game, and I'm REALLY close now! For this #screenshotsaturday I want to show the new door that actually swings open, as well as the campfire! It feels so satisfying to go through the whole game and not see a placeholder cube 😀 #monogame

Progress has been made on the coop mode of my game! The camera now focuses on both players at once. Players can be revived at checkpoints, which would have been showcased had I not been bad at my own game lol

I did quite a bit of refactoring to make it possible to have two players at once. I'm controlling Dee the skunk with my keyboard and I'm controlling Ludwig with my gamepad! #screenshotsaturday #monogame #coop

Here's an example of the code I wrote to render the main menu you saw in the video! I find it much easier to manage and update this versus the previous system.

This #screenshotsaturday I've been working on the options menu! You may also notice the particle effects and the new enemy sprite! 🐀🔫

For example, during testing I found the sound of the cast iron hitting objects to be too annoying! So I lower the volume of the sound if it plays within a second of the last one. Who could have predicted that hearing a banging pan over and over could get tiresome 😂
![public override void PanHit(CastIronEmbiggener castIron)
{
if (GameTimes.TotalTime - lastPanHit < 1f)
{
panHitVolume *= 0.9f;
}
else
{
panHitVolume = 1f;
}
lastPanHit = GameTimes.TotalTime;
float pitch = GameConstants.SEASONING_PITCH_LEVELS[castIron.Seasoning.SeasoningLevel] + (float)MathUtilities.RNG.NextDouble() * 0.5f;
AudioManager.PlaySoundEffect(pitch: pitch, panHitVolume, "panhit1", "panhit2", "panhit3", "panhit4", "panhit5", "panhit6", "panhit7");

I can't believe how different my game can look in just one week! The og tilset was starting to make eyes bleed so I spent a little time going back to fix it! I added a some sprites to the signs to help guide the player, as well as deliver jokes.

Text is now translatable! I'm working on migrating all the hard-coded strings into an en.json file. At some point down the road, I'll find someone to do translations!

You might have also noticed that some prompts stay on screen until you perform an action! That's done by passing along a predicate (a function that returns a boolean) along with the prompt. The predicate function is ran every frame until it returns true, which dismisses the prompt.

Just in time for #screenshotsaturday! I implemented some sound and some (placeholder) music! I also added some sign posts that the player can read if they touch them and press E. There is also a skunk now :3

I do something kind of unique for the pet animation - I fluctuate the frame rate over time with a sin wave so that it speeds up and slows down. I found this technique made Ludwig feel more organic. I reuse the attack animation for when you stop petting to make it look like he's fussing at you 😄

I get feedback from my friends about the game being too hard sometimes. Clearly the correct response to this is to add the ability to pet Ludwig to soothe him during the difficult levels (and to spawn bonus hearts)!

Here's a funny glitch ... or rather feature! If I go to the level editor screen and then back to the main screen, the zoom is not reset, giving me a unique perspective of the level in action!
Btw you can totally control Ludwig in the menu and just play the game lol

#screenshotsaturday on a Friday? Why not! I added a main menu screen! It loads a random level and pans the camera to the goal. I've always wanted to make something like this for one of my games!

I added a jump bar to track jumps, as well as some sprites for the jump pickup and key!
I know it's a little programmer artish, but I kinda like it :)
