Spent the weekend revamping merc contract mission maps from just linear paths to interwoven wandering paths. Crossroads now act as checkpoints--if you fail later you can revert back and choose the path not yet taken.
Also jazzed up the visuals!

Fun little review of Deck of Stabs. Honest, with some fair criticisms, but also does a great job laying it out. I enjoyed it :)

Testing new building shadows with stand in building masks. It's starting to work, but with a few bugs still to hunt down.

Been working hard the past 8 months to move #MetalMercs from its original PyGame codebase to #Godot.
Rebuilding every system has given me a chance to significantly improve huge parts of the games code. It's looking like there will be a new demo this summer 🤞😃

Battle damaged! I've settled on a burn and distortion effect to simulate battle damage on buildings. The effect works quite nicely I think. I'd love to eventually have parts of buildings be destructible and break off but baby steps...

Buildings are getting a facelift in #MetalMercs too! All of these prototypes were procedurally generated using my new building shader. I plan to add texture, decorations, and better color schemes but even now, with a simple shadow they kinda work!

In the old version of #MetalMercs my trees were often mistaken for bushes.
This is partially due to my bad pixel art (😂), but also because they were drawn statically and mechs were just drawn on top of them. Now I'm working to fix all that!

We now have forests and bases! Everything is procedurally generated now except the bases.
I know it's procedural bases are possible but also a lot of work so I think I'll stick with making a pool of dozen or so prefabs, for now at least
