The PCs can coordinate together to make the most out of their abilities - like knocking an enemy into the path of an ally's attack. In other situations, this might also include off ledges, or into other environmental hazards. Or each other.

Overhauled the combat hud, did a ton of under the hood (hud?) work. I've made some good progress this week, and it was time for a change of scenery!

Feels like it's been quite a while since I uploaded anything outside of menus. But I revisited the combat to clean it up a bit more, and it's certainly coming along.

Been upgrading my camera code a bit. Now I've got this smooth transition between open spaces and narrow corridors.

Also testing out Godot's geometry tools and using distance fade material properties to hide the room's external faces if the player is in or near.

I have shared anything of Gus or Flea recently, so here's Flea devouring some cucumber.

I struggle with executive dysfunction a great deal, and it's also one of those things that feels impossible to explain. That's been on my mind a lot.

I put together a short little game/experience based on how it impacts me, and thought others might be interested.

Consumables done! Now working on to the next step - equipping stuff!

Sometimes I need to do something simple and fun, to get a little win. So I made a splash screen! My rat, Flea, is the model and inspiration behind the sprite and name.

The combat prototype is done, barring some bug fixes and polish, I think. Battles can be played from start to finish, win or lose. Barebones in terms of content, but complete in terms of basic functionality.

Progress! The new UI is looking nice, but it still needs a bunch of tuning. Characters now have a "cooldown" overlay on their portraits, and separate health bars are finally (!) in.

I am really struggling to find a nice, readable font though.

My partner made their amazing sweet potato soup last night, and I wasn't the only one excited.

Quick update with a higher-res recording! UI is almost fully implemented. Gotta make actual health bars though.

The D-Pad cycles through different menus. 8 slots per category per character = two "pages" of buttons for each, drawn from the character's stats sheet/gear loadout.

This is how it's going, by the way! Playing around with particles a bit for different kinds of abilities, but combat is looking so good (comparatively)!

Need to add indicators as to which PC is selected and if they are on cooldown. And locate the source of the ghost messages.
