#DataDevils Log:
I should have some more groundbreaking updates to share soon buuuut not today.
I'd been feeling disheartened lately so I prototyped a slide because sliding makes everything better.

Lately, I've been experimenting with combat. Stamina, enemy behavior, player count, networking...lots of choices to make. But only a few more hurdles & I'll be going all-in on art!
Meanwhile, I added a context-sensitive sit emote, cuz I'm very focused.

Knockin out bugs & tweakin visuals. Just getting started but hoping to balance lines, an offset rim effect, & simple textures to land somewhere between Windwaker & UPA revival.
Shoutout to @ameye.dev's Linework asset for making it easy to experiment!

Show your OC's eyes. Indie game edition.
Good timing. I recently experimented with adding flaming eyes to the evil ones. (the effect is currently a default prefab from the "All-in-One VFX" asset pack 😅)

Been busy with new features and bug fixes. I've finally been experimenting with the visual style too - including tweaking materials, experimenting with outlines, and deciding on a style of the "corrupted" DataDevils that you'll encounter in the wild.

Officially moved over to the prototype hub - excited to share more as things become somewhat "final"!
But it's 2 AM here, I spent all night monkeying around...

#DataDevils log: Working on new animations and have the enemy DataDevils are acting a little more...colorful.
Prototyped this (totally original) attack - the plan is for it to knock the players over if they are hit directly or step in it later.

Got me reminiscing about the titles I grew up with. Honestly, these two probably had as big of an impact on my love for gaming as some of my all time favorites.

The plan is to add stations for each item type. Eqp. dresser/weapon rack/gadget wall/etc. - each will let users scroll through a list of the contents and withdraw them. Maybe 4 mannequins to store favored loadouts?
I think this works! Don't ask about limits on the save file yet...there are none...

The hub display allows the host to give guests permissions to use 1 of 4 slots. Slots let users summon Data Devils from their save files and make trades with other players.
I considered something similar for storage. Where the host can assign chests in the hub but it's too complicated and limiting.

Today I will finally (probably) get around to settling on a storage solution for player items (maybe).
This was never meant to be a long term solution but I'm striving for as few menus as possible...

Finally added textchat for PCs and decided to put the NPC-voice on it. Now the character creator lets you pick from different voices, adjust pitch, etc.
It reminds me of my 10 yo self playing Phantasy Star Online alone. Chatting it up with NPCs like a sad dweeb.

I'm motivated by wanting my game to have a bigger impact than the Hank Hill Lethal Company skin I threw together in twenty minutes one night.
One can dream. Otherwise, I guess this is my legacy.

#DataDevils log: It's my busiest time of year so I've had a healthy break from dev.
Recently, I added camera FX and proto-anims for strafing and ladder climbing. Syncing root motion with the ability to grab the ladder from any position was tricky but I'm happy with it!

#DataDevils Log: Reworked the player rig to support animated weapon bones and root motion.
Now I can import some of the more exciting prototype animations - like the hammer attacks which are all still tagged with the "launch" property.
This probably needs reined in...

Been putting off importing new animations for a *while* because I knew changes to the rig were going to cause issues. This is looking like a tomorrow me problem...

A prototype of the second of four procedural worlds is well underway and I'm simultaneously tightening up all of the enemy AI to handle the variety of terrain.

#DataDevils' shield can now deflect & parry attacks. Parried enemies are stunned & can be kicked into the air where they take extra damage & are suspended with each hit.

More soon!
