June 2017 (Week 1)

+ Started designing some sub-systems.
- The week before last I took off, and then last week I was sick. So no real progress.

+ another boss AND True Last Boss(?) finished
+ 2 final music tracks
+ ending
+ bosses leave a small extra reward on death
+ another upgrade
+ finished the third pause screen
+ buffed slaywords
+ final tweaks and changes
- this is our final progress entry. it's been fun. thank you very much everyone.

+ Implemented moth specific mechanics gauges
+ Started the animation for the 'wake' generated by Lore's burst attack
+ Normalized Lore's burst attack damage so it is unchanged regardless of how filled her gauge is
+ As a result of the damage change now Lore's burst only gets a score bonus when it is above 3.1 (graze effect is unchanged)
+ Consolidated Blue's sword modes into her focused/unfocused states
+ Added high damage sword jab to Blue in focus mode and kept circular sword swing which grazes for unfocused
+ Increase damage of Blue's indigo beam to 2.7 and decreased her tracer shot damage to .33 to compensate
+ Made 'bombing' cost 2 resources for Lore/Sana after balance testing
+ Took a solid nerf bat to Sana and decreased her speed even further and boosted her damage slightly to balance. Auto-dust temporarily removed for re-evaluation.
+ A bunch of art that really doesn't need to be blog posted here
- Still about a week out from being able to get back into second stage layout in earnest

+ Blocking almost done
+ Camera collision almost done
+ Artist is finishing basic movement

+ Actually made design notes
+ Reimplemented most datastructures so I can display enough Mirklings without lag
+ added basic gameplay (i.e. shoot the squishy little things)
- I'm really slow lately
- Not sure if I can finish the first prototype by wednesday
- I can't come up with a way to make the game concept less boring

+ Falling while sliding transitions into spin jump
+ Added subtle ledge grab sway
+ Added juicier enemy damage animation
+ Fixed tunnel boost jumping and trigger
+ Added bounce and kill bonus for Impact
+ Added better visuals for Impact
+ Improved dashing controls
+ Made permanent/semi-permanent entity states like enemy death simpler
+ Brought back damage knockback to spikes
+ Started working on some test tileset assets

+ pre-title intro screen
+ level with LEGO Bricktopia mechanics, pseudo-3D carousel design
+ game pauses if joypad is connected/removed
+ pause/game over/level clear menu updated with subweapon buttons
+ fixed bug where paddle attachments and/or ball would move on their own while the player was frozen
- conveyor-belt boss half-finished, needs a revised state engine
- ninja-nun boss room available but boss is non-existent atm

+ multitarget damaging and healing skills
- spent all week making my spaghetti a little bit more edible so no new features

+ all attack anims in
+ basic 'outline' shader, just for telling sides apart for now
+ refactoring
- flip flopping on gameplay design choices

+ continued to work on depressurization mechanics
+ a lot of bug solving
- slow progress

+ Attack Editor now allows hit detection for attacks to be either box, sphere, or capsule, in addition to the already existing weapon raycast method. This will be used later on for the player's warhammer attack slamming the ground, which will create a spherical AOE damage.
+ Enemies can now optionally cancel their attacks, letting them execute their combo faster.

+ Got main functionality of Key item's menu done
+ About halfway done with the mods menu (It's pretty much just a badge equipment system)
- Desire to do other things increases as GUI work continues

+ Made new squirtgun graphics
+ Rewrote the code so its easier to work with

+ Level props
+ Demo level layout done for a hundredth time already
- I can't level design for shit.

- shits broke again

+ Camera boundaries
+ Line of sight
+ Game settings menu

+ Wrote a few example missions to play around with text template bullshit
+ FINALLY updated the asset loader to use a newer/better serialization scheme
+ Started splitting up all the asset stuff into a separate library so the map editor can use the same deserialization code
- Had a nervous breakdown over work stuff that's out of my control
- Told someone how I felt
- I fucked up
- I fucked up
- I fucked up

+ More of level 2
+ Working on the stage 2 miniboss
+ Settings now save/load from a file
+ More video options, like starting in fullscreen and borderless window
+ Player now does a sweet spin while bursting
- art for miniboss might take a bit

+ Added a new modular interface system and made a new interface for the game.

+ Got some basic blocking collisions going
+ Reworked the coordinate system to be way more flexible. I can basically get any point in my world with my coordinates without needing an actor to actually be there.
- Gonna make better collisions.

+ Made a blog for this project, which serves as a little change log as well as a place for me to catalog my updates
+ Fixed issues relating to the rig I was using
- Wasted a ton of time

+ More level design stuff that shouldn't be spoiled, I'm focusing on finishing the first chapter for the next demo day which will be in 25 days
+ Minor bugfixes here and there

+ Got the vast majority of the coding and frame data done for the first enemy's super attack.
+ Potential end to artist woes in sight for the end of this month?
- forgot to include a picture for the recap like an idiot, again.

+ Worked on a lolidom scene where the loli can demand to be the doctor instead of the patient when you try to play doctor with her
+ Reworked events/behaviour trees to use a unified value system
+ Bugfixes
+ More other misc dialogue work
+ 10% puffier cunny

+ figuring out how to make the interface more intuitive
- designing is hard
- couldn't make more time to work this week
+ fixed a couple bugs with the combat and a skill

+ Charger chooses between two different attack animations based on range
+ Charger have a stunned animation for when they take enough damage in a short time
+ TVBots now move dramatically slower to match the actual animation speed

+ porting to linux
- compile errors

+ banner saga style mission select screen
+ art
- might need to do dialogue options, maybe not

- microprogress
