Not going to lie... PIXI Particles make fantastic graphics... But predicting the hitbox of something with a "fixed size" but whose graphics can stick out past that, is quite challenging.

//Makes complex mechanic...
//Slaps self
No U! We make it fast, simple and fun!
If it needs a long tutorial(s) on how to do it, it's bad... Just look at FF13.
//Shudders
Good point self.
In the middle of getting a crown on a tooth (waiting for them to make it). I'll never understand why people are so afraid of the dentist. Always a breeze.
Not going to lie, now that business is picking up again after the whole pandemic lockdown.... these 50+ hour work weeks are really slowing down game dev work. It's a good thing I have basically no life, else I'd never have time to do this.
Don't mind me, just installing a fog machine.
It was then I realized the plugin commands of Terrax Lighting... Have very little to do with the actual lighting. Interesting. The Oak Island of plugins continues to be full of surprises.
Since I managed to reduce my world creator's requirements to 20% of their previous ones. I decided to start making the world more interactable, starting with the water having depth.
Watching Arcadum do VR Chat/RP on my second monitor... I admit, the graphics are cool, but wow.... The level of RP here is impressive, and it's not even dirty RP (stupid VTubers). It's like a real legitimate story. I kind of wish all of his D&D stuff was done this way.
//Puts another stamp on his MZ "saw a returning plugin dev" bingo card.
So today I got my first introduction to "VTubers". Six of them are playing D&D with Arcadum. I don't know if even a DM as fantastic as Arcadum can make six VTubers tolerable. I've had it on my second monitor for over a hour.. they're still meeting in the first room doing perception and stealth checks to look at each other's chests. No story has happened yet.
It appears I inadvertently made my very own "Path Rangers"....
Not to be confused with a trademarked team of spandex wearing teenagers.
I am now sad that Avengers Endgame didn't end with them acquiring the "Infinity Duct Tape" and just taping the universe back together.
Terrax Lighting is basically the Oak Island of plugins, every time you think you've found the treasure at the bottom... There's something bizarre waiting instead.
I sat down after a long day of work, expecting to work on my game (yeah I have literally no life)... Only to see an email from a favorite card shop saying, "Please sell us your cards!"
//Looks at their offers and takes a deep satisfied breath.
Ahhh! The sweet smell of desperation. I guess the game must wait. $______$
//Adds more free models to his Daz3d collection.
Soon, my pretties, soon.
// Thinks of multiple gameplay ideas....
Alright, how do I decide which one to choose? ....Oh wait I know! Which one needs the most sparkles?
You know, it might actually just be easier to give a major recurring NPC a bunch of reactive subroutines versus just hard programming their actions. Such as if the player gets too close the NPC will complain about being pushed, or playfully dance away. Or if they're say too close to a particular type of event like a special flower they'll run over and smell it. This merits some experimentation.
So I started experimenting with micro biomes by mashing up the more good-natured areas of my game. I've got 10 prototype micro biomes so far.... And honestly I kind of like the results.
So I added lighting, improved the pixel movement, created some new types of areas, created a narrator to spawn stuff around the player, and setup a system to link it all together making the world infinite... Of course normally the areas wouldn't be linked together like this. But it's kind of just for fun and showcasing. -

Made a lot of progression today with my next chapter. It helps that I wrote an outline of what will happen.
