Seeing alot of spoilers. Some of y’all didn’t listen to zach hadel fish at the beginning of the movie and wait until the YouTube upload.

@justff777 Ooh! I didn't know about yarn. I'll check it out!

Honestly I just wanted something lightweight, and being custom I can extend it in any way the game needs.

#devlog 8 | Working on a basic NPC & Dialogue system. Didn't really like any of the tooling out there to write branching dialogue, most were too barebones or too complex for what I really needed, so I went custom

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

Dialogue is stored as a .txt so that the Godot file explorer scans it, and parsed. I also made a quick lang config so its more readable.

Text is all placeholder for now

@tsitskidev Gameplay looking addictive AF. The FXs add SO MUCH

#devlog 7 | Improved the Map's UI a bit. Not quite there yet in terms of polish, and the art and data is still mostly placeholders, but the layout is closer to the final version.

The level editor is just about done. I'll try to release it tomorrow.

@aw0_aj Can't remember a faster follow I've done lmao. Love how juicy it looks already

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

#devlog 6 | Improved the gunner moth a bit. It's now floatier, and the bubbles behave a bit more... bubbly

I feel like it might be a bit too quick though, might slow it down. Feel like it might feel too overwhelming. Thoughts?

@ment4lfortress Oh?

#devlog 5 | New totem system! Player can now stack totems on the platform, which grant passives.

First totem saves the player from death once

@Latiencur It might lend itself well for persistent upgrades, took a bit of inspo from Hades

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

@semo_games I see Tetraminos, I wishlist. Keep it up!

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

@PondsideGames Is it really worth adding if it isn't making the player suffer? lol

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

#devlog 4 | a new enemy. I've realized I need more enemies that actively deny area for the player, so here's a moth that makes life harder for the player :)

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

@Latiencur (No moths were harmed in the making of this clip)

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

@PortalFallGame I've thought about enabling the player to move it, but I'm not sure how to fit it in the overall design... The idea is rattling in there, though :)

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

@MrBregoS This makes me itch to make a farming game now

[zch 🦉 Skydare @zchdev]

@Cogh_ The elevator blocking the light looks so good!
