IRL Day 11/10 (1 hour spent):

Today I made sure everything was working and checked on supabase if scores were good.

IRL DAY 11/09 (4 hours spent):

Today I was pretty relaxed and drew some more design/info onto my arcade machine with Posca markers. I also went around to help anyone that haven't finished yet

IRL DAY 11/08 (6 hours spent):

Today I brought my arcade to the new venue and fixed some last minute issues in my game where my enemy wouldn't work on arm builds specifically, and also retune difficulty for arcade mode

Everything was ready now!

IRL DAY 11/07 (8 hours spent):

Today I finished some bugs with my autostart service for my game and gpio to control py script.

I also drilled holes for my buttons and vesa mount for monitor

I decided to use acyrlic paint and went with a dark blue/brown and white highlites for my design

The transport from the old venue to new venue/hotel was honestly a nightmare.

IRL Day 11/06 (8 hours spent):

Today I started planning the electronics for my arcade machine and the gpio control to keyboard actions.

IRL Day 11/05 (5 hours spent):

Today I arrived in Narita airport and met people who were also doing shiba!

I got my suica card and my skyride train ticket to travel to spacebar and everywhere else.

Parts for my arcade machine were grabbed and planned for tomorrow as i was extremely tired.

Release v1.0.0 (12th release) out! - arcade mode is done, japanese translations n more

New Changes from Last Build -

Level Progress -

all done <3

I added full japanese translations to my game and also added some more little decoration to level 4.4/4.3

I finished adding my ranged enemy to arcade mode. They spawn on random islands off the main one

I added pillars to my game as their own scenes so i could use them in story mode, but also put them in arcade mode! Their collision is a bit strange though

I implemented my soundtracks that i made yesterday and tweened them to transition ish. I also tweaked a bunch of tweens in my game to make a lot more animations smoother, and started adding my ranged enemy to arcade mode.

Dev Build #11 out! - all levels ready + more!

New Changes from Last Build -

Level Progress -

1, 2, 3, 4.1, 4.2 - done pretty much

I added a gamma setting in my game to let people change how dark it is in the game

I finished my arcade's leaderboard and scores can now be submitted into a database!

I finished the cutscene + credit rolls, and the game now has an actual ending. I also started adding the scoreboard stuff to my arcade mode!

There is now a neat little cutscene for when the last relic is placed

I am about to finish the last part of the logic in my code for level 4.4, and i also decorated some of my previous levels

Today i started implementing the inserting feature of each relic for my last level

I added the models to my game and now all my relics have art!!

Dev Build #10 out! - a bunch of level stuff added + many tweaks

New Changes from Last Build -

Level Progress -

1, 2, 3, 4.1 - done pretty much

4.2, 4.3 - 90% the way there

4.4 - 3% bruh

I made some changes to the puzzle for level 4.3 and adjusted lighting/environment stuff in all levels. I also started prototyping the final level 4.4!

I added the puzzle/mechanic to lower the bridge for access to level 4.3

I fixed an issue in level 4.2 where the ground was still showing, and am almost done with level 4.3

I finished the last part in level 4.2! It is a narrow path with it being very dark

Today i started level design for level 4.3 with some of its mechanics in place

I added an aim assist for the ranged weapon as it was kind of hard to aim normally

I started level design for 4.2 and implemented half of a puzzle so far

Dev Build #9 out!!!! - new enemy, level stuff, and tiny tweaks

New Changes from Last Build -

I finished adding the bow and its mechanics! I also added a sign to the game to give a hint

I started prototyping/building level 4.2 and have some ideas made for it. I also started implementation for the bow mechanic and is a work in progress

I worked on rearranging some decorations i placed last time in level 3 to make it feel more natural, fix a camera zoom bug, and spend a lot of time debugging why my new enemy zert was working in the debug level instead of the actual level... bruh

I finally finished my new enemy's behavior! It can now hurt the player as well as receiving damage too. The projectiles it shoots are also animated and it took some time trying to debug a issue of animations affecting all projectiles for some reason... but i got it working!

Today i finally added a checkpoint system that allows you to spawn back at level 4.1 instead of resetting the entire game. I also added some more mushrooms to the rest of the levels and made enemies respawn after their population goes down by half

I continued working on my new enemy's ai and its pathfinding. It took so much trial and error as i kinda suck at implementing state machines.. but its getting very close to working smoothly!

I started to implement my new enemy's model and worked on half the logic/animation for it so far. It is a ranged enemy and distances itself from the player

Dev Build #8 out!!!! - new arcade mode + sounds!!!

The arcade mode game loop is 80% done. I implemented some of the models for it as well as a timer

I am making progress on the dialogue of my thing! I broke it so many times but now have a solid ish system for it

I finished the movement and screen animations for my thing! It took a lot of fine tuning as well as adding safe cases to stop broken transformations

Just got a working prototype of my second level done with scene switching! Its also the first appearance of my enemy in the storyline!!!

I am working on my first level in my game. it is a introduction to the story ish and very spooky

I added animations to my enemy, as well as a bunch of the mechanics! The player gets stunned on every hit but can also escape by doing the correct moves. The enemy is also fast but takes its time attacking. Get ready to learn its behavior to avoid dying!

My npcs can now wander around! It took soooo long to get this one thing to work

I added some new barriers so the npc doesn't fall off + second release!! including stamina/sprint, a npc, better physics, and more!!!!

I added an enemy npc that can follow the player around and onto slopes!

I added a sprinting and stamina bar! The physics for the player has also been improved, but still a little iffy on slopes!

First ever dev build released! It is a orthographically rendered game where everything looks... flat! for a reason.... There are some spots that do need some polishing, but some of the super important mechanics have been implemented.

I fixed travel going up slopes! ish! There are also now boundaries and cool lights.

currently making a test level right now to get the feel of godot!

I set up my godot structure to have a mostly stable development later on, and there is a functionable character/main menu!

I successfully set up godot and wakatime!! My dev environment is ready!!!!!!!!!
