Game dev mom.
Makes Godot tutorials and is working on a cute little Zelda-like with programmable robots.

Dreaming of one day doing game dev full-time.

I've had such a productive day today (the ~3.5 hours I can work)

Some things I did:
* Wrote a big chunk of the script the next voxel video
* Created a problem generator for our new math app
* Started to work on a backend 'skill tree' to make the app adaptive

This week I began to rework the games programming system.
It now supports robots and portals of different colors (+a few other new things).

One of the to-dos for next week is making it possible to switch between which robot you are currently programming from the menu.

Jumping down was the last task on my 'milestone 1' list on Trello.

Tomorrow I start working on milestone 2 which is all about the robot programming, robot inventory and upgrading your robot🤩

Greedy Meshing in C#😎

Now I'm ready to measure performance for both the GDScript version and C# version of a few meshing algorithms.
I'll be measuring performance on a few different terrain types.

Today I remembered, that I haven't made much in C# before.
But after ~2 hours with a lot of complaining, I got the hang of it and ported the first meshing algorithm from GDScript to C#.

Tomorrow I'm porting the greedy meshing algorithm so we can measure and compare it all.

Greedy Meshing, V2.
Slow, but ready to be measured and compared to the previous meshing solution - this is for a mix between a dev log and a tutorial.

The next step is to move this to C++ and/or C#.

Chests was on the to-do list today.

Last weeks Godot Wild Jam made me realize, that I kind these pixel breaking animations.
A little squeeze and stretch can be so much fun!

One day left of Godot Wild Jam 84!
Today was extreamly fun.
My little roguelike inspired game about a water vole finally got procedural levels based on cellular automaton.

Our 6yo drew a tree and made art for the tiles I made that she didn't like😅

Godot Wild Jam, day 6.
I've been working on menus, new effects that changes the view range of the player and water now floods the maze you have made, if you dig under a tile that has water at the top level.

Tomorrow I'm working on sound effects with our 6yo.

End of day 3.
I didn't have as much time today, because kids, homeschooling and so on.
But I managed to finish the items, effects, hotbar and energy systems.
And then a limited the players view - this can also be changed by items later.

End of day 2.
We now have a little inventory.
The player can collect plants and save them for later.
The plants will effect the player in different ways when eaten. The game will always have the same effects, but which effect an item will have may be randomized.

This is why I haven't participated i a game jam before.
It's just so difficult to stay focused😅

The kid wanted a golden strawberry, so I spend way to long figuring out how to create a shader with this shiny effect.
And then back on track - the game can now be won!
Obstacles and enemies next!

It seems that Godot Wild Jam #84 will be my first Game Jam ever.
I'm hoping it will work with having a family and many other projects going on.

Say hello to my little water vole, that just wants to dig tunnels, eat stuff and avoid danger.
Tile- and turnbased movement.

Voxel dev in a nutshell.
95% of the time it just looks weird😅
This is also the last meshing algorithm I'm looking at before moving the meshing to C# and/or C++ (maybe both, so I can compare the two - but I'm definitely more comfortable with C++ for stuff like this).

The new way I'm keeping track of both the work for my game and Youtube makes it SO much easier to get stuff done, even if I'm having a bad day🤩

Even though I'm crazy tired today, I still managed to get a few tasks done on my game.
And I recorded video for a small tutorial.

Today I reworked the inventory.

Mainly stuff changed behind the scenes, but I also made it possible to click and drag the inventory menu.

This will also be added to the programming menu, so the player can move the menu, if it is blocking part of a puzzle.

In my zelda-like the player has to program ancient robots to solve puzzles.

The player can also build and upgrade her own robot companion, that can be used to discover the world even further and help out where it's needed😎

I can't even describe how wonderful it felt, when I finally got this to work.

I'm probably going to add a shader animated texture between the two levels later (instead of just going black).
But for now, this is just perfect🤩

After spending 1.5 days NOT getting the elvator transition to work as I wanted, my head began to feel dizzy.
So I made this as a temporary transtion instead😅

I'm doing a #robotics workshop soon for 6-8 year-olds (plus a parent).
My kids wants to help out, so today they played around with the robots we'll be using🤩

We'll be having two activities after the initial introductions:
- drawing
- moving through a known maze
