Oof. I feel like every time I join a game jam life is like, "Oh, you need time for something? Nope!" (Oh, by the way, I was doing a game jam this week and didn't post *anything* about it, so there's that.)
Anyway, I submitted with three whole minutes until the deadline. I wish I'd had more time to fix some annoying bugs and polish it up, but here we are. Anyway, if anyone's interested you can check out my entry!
Finally bit the bullet and learned how to do slopes in #GodotEngine. Mostly it was actually pretty easy to grasp (thanks especially to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l-tf97z2bg), but getting the sliding down steep slopes to work was pretty tricky, and is still super hacky and messes with your jump somehow if you're too close to one. I'll definitely need to do a good bit of experimenting to get it how I want, but feeling pretty good about where I am for just one morning of work.
Nothing super exciting, but a little window into me working on my quest system for #ScreenshotSaturday. You can pick up a quest from dialogue, it gets added to your tracker, you can do the work, and the NPC recognizes whether or not you have when you talk to them again. You can't actually *complete* the quest yet, but I don't have any more time to work right now lol.
Working on my inventory system today, which is apparently narrated by Samuel L Jackson.
It might be a small thing, but I'm feeling pretty good about being able to make a system from scratch that accurately tracks things you pick up (okay, plants you pick up; all I have to pick up right now is plants) and displays them on a proper inventory screen.
A few days in on my dialogue system and I think it's shaping up nicely. Here's a test NPC asking the real questions. (Also please ignore the wildly inconsistent player outfit.)
