In the past two weeks, I’ve upgraded the level loading system. The first project was locking doors and loading levels within levels. I used this to make a bridge/hydroelectric power plant level. Now the player can’t explore the map freely. You have to obtain a key, enter the bridge from the left, open the door,…
No, not Super Mario 3D World In December of 2021, I caught the plague. Whilst quarantining in an isolated wing of the freshman dorms, I re-discovered the YouTuber CodyCantEatThis, and his adventures in bringing old 2D games into the third dimension. While his Sonic recreation used pre-made models found online, he went bigger and bolder…
The following was written on March 6th, 2022 I wanted to populate the world with more levels, but I had difficulty building motivation this week. I was able to re-create a re-usable chest object (I created one a few weeks ago, but it had been lost), I updated turret code, created a signpost object, and…
The following was written on February 28th, 2022 The shop was easy to integrate into the dialogue system. I was combining two systems made by two different people with their own programming styles, so I was surprised with how little resistance I encountered. Truly a testament to the adaptability of Fluffy Game Dev‘s Dialogue System.…
The following was written on February 21st, 2022 This was one of my more confusing but productive weeks. It took me 2 1/2 days of work to comprehend, implement, and bug fix a 10 minute tutorial (Shoutout to Fluffy Game Dev), and honestly I still don’t understand how it works. But it does work, and…
The following was written on February 14th 2022 This week, I created an inventory and inventory screen for the player. Items automatically stack, and the display automatically updates. I was also able to save the inventory to an external json file and load it back in. Currently there is no way to remove or interact…
The following was written retrospectively to account for a gap in reports Map Changes Over Winter break I added Map Fog, clouds that would disappear when the player got close enough, and remain disappeared when the player re-entered the map. This system was very similar to the one I used to track what enemies should…
The following was written on December 5th 2021 This past week was the most productive thus far. I did so much, I can hardly believe it’s only been one week. Before anything, I wiped out the leftover to do list from last week, which was pretty easy. The real work started with making the player…
The following was written on November 28th 2021 I’m glad that I only scheduled enemy damage and death for this week. It was quick work and left me with ample time to implement drinking. I built the enemy mostly no problem. The trouble arose with collision and hit detection. I had thought of a few…
The following was written on November 23rd 2021 This past week I had been focusing on the attacking function of the character. I created some very plain animations by modifying the sprite and an attack effect I found on the internet. Like last week, I was able to go above and beyond and create a…
