Happy long weekend to those who get one!
No #GameDevFridays for me this week because we're actually going outside into the daylight instead.
But I did find time this morning to watch some *other* people do gamedev on YouTube, and eat some crisps. So that's kind of been productive in its own way.
Being self-employed, I have the worst boss ever. She's always giving me way more work than is physically possible in the time allowed, and coming up with ever-stupider ideas of new stuff I should also somehow be finding time to work on.
But today, for once, she's allowed me a day off! Well, mostly off, but I'll take it.
Spending it trying to add a new minigame to my atrocious #ToucanDoIt #GameJam submission, 'cos they extended the deadline so why not.
Pretty much gave up on the ongoing refactor for the last couple nights because it's been a busy life week and I found myself just staring at the editor without comprehension, unable to actually think in a straight line.
So, a couple nights break and I'm back up to what passes for full brainpower! Fired up Godot to be greeted with this...I guess the me of a few nights ago just gave up, like, halfway through changing something?
Whoops!
See this screenshot? Ok, now imagine you're seeing it twice, side by side.
Before and after loading from a save file! It works! Everything is back where it should be!
At least the actual tiles and buildings and bridges are. And that's quite enough brain work for now π
Don't you just *love* when a feature that's been working for ages with no issues whatsoever just suddenly breaks?
What's with these bridges to nowhere, now?!
Also, I may have slightly too many birds.
I may still be on death's door, but at least it's slightly less than yesterday.
Actually able to do a little bit for #GameDevFridays today, which was nice!
Of course I really do mean "a little bit". See that new tile indicator down in the bottom left? It's now a progress bar that fills up as you get closer to unlocking a new tile.
That's it. That was my day π
Gleefully destroying some absolutely atrocious code from my past self rn.
This is what life's all about.
Trying to get a head start on this afternoon's tasks but sleepy doggo here is in the exact spot my mouse hand rests.
Trying to do everything with a laptop trackpad is...inefficient. But I don't have the heart to wake her!
Also, I really need to pee π¬
Eh whatever, close enough.
Believe it or not, that grey thing was supposed to be a bird.
First attempt...did not go well π€¦ββοΈ
