So apparently World Anvil is actually 30% off at the moment... After watching half a hour of videos and playing with their software for another half hour... Yep, I'm in. Time to make my very own private wiki full of secret world building knowledge.

Somewhere I messed something up and it's giving garbage image lookups... This one is my favorite though.
Today I learned my game apparently doesn't use any .png files.
Finally! I've been puzzling over why it wasn't working for two days now. Turns out all of my calculations were correct, I just forgot to give some events hitboxes. Now my randomly generated maps check for collision errors, and move stuff around in real time if they finds any.
I really get the feeling I should be doing regular YouTube videos whenever I make something cool in my game, instead of waiting for massive changes. But not going to lie... I always feel like it's never quite enough to merit an update, until it's a drastic change.
230 paths... roughly 250 light sources on the screen... One serious lag fiesta... But I finally got it all the screen at once. I guess I could have also just made an event to spawn each one in exactly the location I needed, but that's sooo much less fun.
I've been experimenting with improved memory management again, which allowed me to include items to increase player path length. These are both 44 grid spaces long, and stable.
Success, my character has harnessed the power of the particle, and now she leaves a speed streak.
I'm breaking up with QSprite.
I'm a bit conflicted. One the one hand, it's quite visually cool to make bodies of water that the player can interact with by going into it. However obscuring the player character from a gameplay perspective is pretty bad. Hmm... There's the option to make the area around the player visible, but then that kind of defeats the purpose of submerging them.
And then I figured out a way to doing a "regular animation" that's affected by PIXI particles. So now each frame of the animation gets particle effects. Soon my dreams of a world without QSprite will be realized.
Only 68,544 PVGames assets to sort though... And it's too late to go buy alcohol. Mistakes were made.
Huh, with the release of HUD Maker Ultra... I'm one plugin closer to my game being able to run on MZ.
I just realized, ever since MZ came out and they moved the MV board... I've almost never looked at it, unless a "Latest Thread" just happened to be in it. Honestly I kind of forgot it existed. All I ever seem to look at now are the Javascript boards and the "Latest" stuff, then I just wander off.
I was messing around with particles and made a pew pew sparkle laser.
Also I tested this game on my first gen Surface Pro (it's literally made of stone)... And er.. Anyway enjoy your 8 fps? Yeah... Going to need a graphics card or a much new APU for this game barring some kind of major changes.
So I've been testing disintegrating a map from left to right over about a minute and thirty seconds. And giving the player that long to drag stuff to a portal on the opposite side they'd like to keep, along with accomplishing any side objectives.
They can of course permanently abandon the map at any time,.....
I got my personal lighting plugin down to 486 lines of code from 613 lines.
The game was going well until the Harold Titan arrived.
As I look at ways to protect my game assets for a demo... I realize I'm more concerned about people stealing the code versus the graphics. Like my water graphic, you want it? Here you go! You're welcome!
In action it looks like this...
Not very useful without the code.
Current size of my game before deploy? 97.8MB... 51.6MB audio, 31.1MB graphics, the rest data. 249MB deployed... Got to love that oversized Chromium browser deployment throws in.
I think of all the effects in my game, the light passing through fog has got to be my favorite....
...Also I spent all day trying to figure out how I had suddenly messed it up and made it start dropping frames like crazy. So I had all day to look at it... mocking me... with it's previous 60fps reduced to 30fps... At least it's fixed now. -

Spooktober Spooktacular Game Jam Winners announcements start now! Live on stream! See who won!
so, I've begun the process of restructuring my game's base setup entirely after feeling disheartened with progress and talking to a friend. I think I'm headed in the right direction now.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I'm so excited! I've been exploring MZ a little, and I just downloaded Effekseer to make new animations. I have experience in 3D animation software, so I'll be pretty good at the whole "particle" thing. My first game on MZ will be Fantasy Force--starring a griffin, a dragon, and a pegasus fighting against the Dragon of Darkness.
currently listening to Driftwood Gaming streaming some MZ dev time and it's delightful! had no idea they were this entertaining, love it
