I should probably step away from the sparkles... but they're soooooooo shiny!
Anyway stuff of note:
New interface.
The puzzle pieces now a build a puzzle in the upper right corner.
The Nihil is represented by the line with skulls. That represents where the map no longer exists at the moment.
Swag collecting in the new randomly generated area. Now the mini map also shows the randomly generated features... And even illustrates the whole "bubble" system" that I made to manage memory... Though that part's inadvertent. We'll just call that "the fog of war"... Yes, that's what we'll do. Nobody will be the wiser!
The worst part about making custom stuff is, I can't really ask any of you why a second copy of the character randomly appears only when going SW, S, or SE and changing directions. Been bugging me for the last two days. On the plus side, look at the new random map pieces I made while thinking about it.
Here I am writing a jumping collision checker for QMovement's colliders, only to discover QM-Collision Map uses colors, not colliders to determine passability.
Specifically it converts all colors to black, then runs checks to see if it finds a black pixel to stop player movement. Quxios is a mad genius.
Check out my comfy new chair!
It had a lot more parts than I expected.... I wonder if I assembled it correctly...
Closer and closer I get to my intro sequence being finished... I've got the initial fall, the impact, waking up in Omnia, the title comets, meeting your first inhabitant of Omnia. I just need the falling sequence now.
After that I need scenes for sneaking out, watching the meteor shower, and the burning house. Then the first 30-40 minutes or so of game will be finished.
Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. All this because I needed the character to jump for a cutscene... But it was just so easy to add the other directions in... So I did.
Effekseer 1.53c... vs my "Area 51" test...
This brutal test includes 32 frames of character movement (in each direction)...
1920x1080 resolution
PIXI Bloom Filter
24 continuous 3D Effekseer animations.
36 portals which each cycle 3 Effekseer animations and a PIXI text.
And of course a gross amount of PIXI particles.
Today, I am impressed.
Oh YouTube...You feel like a lot of effort for less impressions than a Tweet...worth it. Still I haven't updated it since I made any of these new maps. Guess I shouldn't totally ignore it.
Playing with my new movement system... So far working pretty good, does a weird thing with Effekseer animations though.
Guess I'll need to study how MZ implements Effekseer effects. Been meaning to do that anyway so I have better access to it's properties.
Hello darkness my old friend.
I don't normally share the first draft of a map.... But Negantia... the world of Depression is off to a good or I guess in this case a "depressing" start... Excellent.
So I after futzing with shuffling particles I realized my own visual plugin could do the same to animate the player... Things are working great except two things... The red square is where the player actually is. And the image in the upper left well.. It's a duplicate whatever the player is doing. Yep, stuff's going great!
In a humorous turn of events, I duplicated the previous map but forgot to delete all the particles. So for an early WIP concept map... I had a blimp sitting there and it just happened to awkwardly line up with a fire. I guess my game needed an accidental Hindenberg.
I think the giant skull with a hand through it really brings the place together. Gives it a homey feel. Lord Cthulhu would approve.
Another map remake. Trying to decide if I want to keep the compass wormholes or not. Originally I was going to have players enter them to recover missing people from an area. But now since they recover pieces of the area itself... It might not be necessary. Hmm....We'll see, anyway new shiny!
Going through and remaking maps to match the new style...
Turns out I got access to far higher quality assets as well for the TV. So in typical technological fashion... I added a few extra wires, moved some stuff around and now it's a new model.
Looks like we won't be saving the house. -

Writes that the characters have to climb a mountain.
Realized that I have to draw six sets of models where characters are climbing.
At least I know how to draw something.

I'm currently scratching my head on how to design plains. What do I even put in plains? Some trees (but not too many or it turns into a forest)? Grass? A few bushes? That's a bit dull.
I'm looking for tutorials but Google didn't seem to find much (or maybe I have the wrong keywords). I don't know how to map plains and I don't know how to learn.
