This do anything for ya?

Tonight on a whim I wrote an engine in #godot for easily making text-based adventure games. The old-fashioned kind, with a text parser. I timed myself doing this. 2 hours, 44 minutes, 24.50 seconds.

I'll take my Summoningsalt video now please~

Wow it almost looks like a real game

Well, the battle system's pretty much done, so now begins the process of EVERYTHING ELSE.

Anyway, the cool thing about that background I've been using is that it's actually a shader, which means I can do stuff like THIS:

A few things got added/changed today, see if you can spot them (#3 will SHOCK you!!!!)

Okay, the other half of the item equation: equipment! We've got Armor, Weapons, Accessories, and Spheres. You can switch equipment mid-battle if it's in your inventory, and it can currently affect your stats, apply status effects, and grant status immunities (with more to come)! #gamedev #godot

Consumable items added! Only took ~2 hours to get a working system in place, for one simple, super secret reason...

#gamedev #Godot

Added win/lose conditions and a game over!

...Maybe a little too melodramatic of a game over.

Update: I have escaped from Shader Hell. #gamedev #Godot

(For anyone wondering it's the menus masking out the line. That's it. That's literally it. Hours spent on that. My god.)

We've got enemy AI! The cool kind, not the horrible big tech kind. "Big deal," you're thinking to yourself. Well, I'll tell you what the big deal is:

So how many systems are *too* many systems?

...asking for a friend.
