Haven't made any #ZSPGame progress recently (work's been busy) but I *have* written some backstory ficlets for this (https://peoplemaking.games/@bobcgames/111349798228735599) game, which I really need to come up with a hashtag for

I guess we'll count that as some progress?

Some more #ZSPGame progress over the weekend (but no video this time):

Added some more items, started implementing the phone UI, added the ability to "cram" with guys (increase value of tokens of certain types), and stubbed in the full sequence of guy unlocks

At some point I need to sit down and actually write all the dialogue... normally it's the part I enjoy the most, but for some reason, I keep putting it off with this game πŸ˜…β€‹

I've been neglecting #ZSPGame updates, but over the weekend, I implemented a tutorial, got the item shop working, and added text message functionality (so the guys can send you pics πŸ˜‰β€‹)

ZAGS: Study Pop Progress 1/18/24

Items now tell you what they do (and there are a few additional kinds of them)!

Items are now working (and I added in the sprites, finally) πŸ˜…β€‹

And here's the basic game loop, with some music and SFX and rudimentary graphics

Still need to implement presents (=powerups) and the entire "talk to the guys and find out information about them" stuff

Basic game loop is working! I can now show a "map" with the different locations and the guys located there, and you can start a match 3 game where the pieces vary based on the guy and location, and successfully unlock additional guys

Now to actually make all of that pretty so I can show it off πŸ˜…β€‹

#ZSPGame #GameDev #IndieDev

Okay, I think the Match 3 stuff I've been working on is going to become the basis of the next #YAGS series game, tentatively studied "ZAGS: Study Pop"

I've nice-ified the UI a little, and implemented in notebooks (score multipliers) and energy (additional turns)... still need to get presents in place, which will be usable powers to do things like remove specific slots of items

Anyway... progress!
