January 2018 (Week 4)

+ 2 new characters added
+ Scenes organized
+ Combat UI updated
+ Audio(sfx, music) manager added
+ Bugs fixed
- tried to make UW turn-based combat, wasn't fun.

+ Started working on 3d model for the player's 2nd armor.

+ Modeled an NPC. Not rigged/animated yet.
+ Experimenting with making a system where all NPCs (enemy and non-enemy) derive from the same basic behavior class. Pretty fucky so far, but I want every single character type to have minimal amount of code; i.e. death sequence, or attack script in case of an enemy.
+ Fixed some collision bugs.

+ Fixed bugs (wrong xp rewards, lob skill broken, some misc crashes)
+ Demo quest progression organised

+ Sculpted and started retopologizing another take on the grunt design I had, almost done with retopo (pic rel)
+ Also started another mecha, but it didn't fit the aesthetics of a weak grunt
+ Found an easy way to do hard surface details on walls
+ Done with the design of the basic drone, got an effect for its only attack
+ Modular set wasn't actually so bad, adding it to a scene gives a lot more perspective
+ Implemented the basis of the new Input buffer, might have a solution to queue actions
+ Learned some stuff about VFX design and packing textures/noise in a convenient way
+ Camera adjustments
- Need to re-do the rig and texturing on the drone
- New melee function is a mess that takes in a fuckload of arguments
- No gameplay changes

+ Fixed a handful of bugs
+ Starting 3D modelling stuff
- It's been so long since I did 3D modelling that I have to re-learn everything.

+ Released a demo
+ Added a trailer and some songs to youtube
+ Added Official Website
+ Added Itch.io Page
+ Started a small IndieGoGo campaign

+ Started deving!
+ Basic unit spawning
+ BFS to determine movement and attack rnages
+ Basic map editor for easy content creation/modding
- Code base is already kind of a mess

+ basic game elements seem to function decently
+ can start working on the meaty bits e.g weapons, enemy types and room / dungeon layout
+ Essentia beat extraction is groovy as heck
- can't keep using visual placeholders forever (or can I?)
- forgot everything learned about Blender last month
- had to think of an awful working title just now

+ Continued designing locations
- Chain bone physics for new system, might not actually be better than previous implementation
+ Nerfed boss moveset a bit

+ Figured out gamepad rebinding [again]
+ Keyboard/Mouse rebinding almost done, after that is figured out the title screen will be more complete compared to the previous version
- Video games came out

+ Special attack framework for later tuning

+ Better follow camera
+ Fixed incorrect chassis height
+ Slippery Physics
+ Remade carbon fiber material
+ Started multiplayer implementation (basic client/server setup)
+ Refactored input management to support gamepad/driving wheels and multiple gamemode at the same time
- Physics still need work (still missing clutch, gearbox, non-shitty tire friction, ...)
- Need to create devblog and/or twitter account
- Bloom post-effect broke for some reason

+ customised unity's basic car system
+ basic mountain track added
- barely functional atm
- wouldn't really call it a game so far

+ Implemented pushable vases for puzzles

+ training myself to do art using Inkscape
+ new user interface

+ Database plugin prospection
- Feels like nobody gonna respond
+ 3D rendering prospection
+ Dev doc about color usage
+ Started a map of unlockable skills
+ HUD Clock Design
+ Finished Medicine Art

+ Participated in GGJ
+ Implemented Versus screen
+ Added sound effects

++ Put a bumper on the TV on the pause menu.

+ Finished a plank cutting minigame.
+ Started making sprites for a cutscene.
+ Started working on a save system
+ Good progress, even though I would consider it a slow week!

+ Made a system to build houses. You put the tiles and a script calculates the collisions from the outside ( the roof has one way collisions) and the inside( the walls and the roof are solid)
The things that are inside the house only appear if you are inside and disappear when outside.
+ Made some animations( need to improve)
+ Added some nature elements: lava, and a tree with physics( you can cut it to form bridges or smash enemies, the last still not programmed )
- The animations cause problems with the combat system( I´m currently fixing this)
- Some times the tree physics are weird

+ Almost done with the telescope area
- Slow progress

+ Participated in the global game jam
- Did nothing on this game

+ tons of rearchitecting, game totally broken
+ better feel for what makes good code
- game totally broken
