Switching my data analysis from Desmos to spreadsheets was definitely a good idea 🥲

Throughout development I've been about his little detail.

For a period the TV was on a dresser, then it was mounted to the wall, then it was connected to the game console on a shelf, and now it's connected to a game console on a dresser (that I redrew at some point)

If anyone's curious what I did, it was actually really simple. I just set the texture of a Sprite2D to GradientTexture1D. In a shader for the sprite, I converted the texture color to HSV, used a posterize function on V, and converted the color back to RGB to show on screen. I never posterized the saturation because I like the look. Finally, in gdscript I used a looping tween to move the bottom point in the gradient up and down.

It's funny that this is my first post about my game in like a year, but I really want to share that I've added moving waves to the background and I'm very excited.

It doesn't get any easier.

It's funny to me that this is my second time drawing a cow laying down for a game.

Does anyone know of a good software for viewing/organizing sound effects that you have downloaded?

I remember seeing someone post here about the software they made which does this, but I can't find that person as hard as I search 🥲

@yurisizov Here's the coolest thing I've done. With a reference to any other node, you can animate *that* node.

For example, I have a bunch of scriptless objects in the group "trashable." I have it set up so that a roomba can animate them disappearing and ultimately trash them!

@yurisizov I have to thank you for putting me onto tweens! I used to think they're useless, but now I realize they're a game changer!

A computational way to animate is incredibly useful for those silly simple animations, like an item de-spawning. It can be more advanced too, like dynamically changing the effect of a shader.
