June 2018 (Week 4)

+ Spent more time on ship design
+ learning about variables in unity
- not a big fan of programming
- too many conflicting ideas

+ added settings screens for audio, display, and controls settings
+ added loot tables for enemies, rather than having same drop rate for all items for all enemies
+ items now blink 3 seconds before disappearing
+ player now grunts when taking damage
+ can now exit the game with ESC key in-game

+ Added an easy way to control globally how fast characters and projectiles go
+ Reduced overall character/projectile speed, game feels less floaty
+ Once again, the AI can now dodge. But the implementation is less wonky
+ Distinction between light/heavy attacks, one new animation so there's now 3 light that combo into each other and 3 heavy that end the combo.
+ Made an arena for dd21 as well as generic testing situations
- Wanted to do a whole level but every tool feels wonky
- Wasted some time on a boss idea, scrapped it because it was too annoying to animate and would have needed too many tweaks to be ready for dd21

- Mod loading broken, having to roll a custom save system to save references between monobehaviours

+ Made the asteroid shader a bit more efficient
+ Added more asteroid types: donut, mushrooms, trees, crystals, mushrooms
+ Added minefield

+ Finally got combos working kinda
- I'm ashamed of how much time it took me to get them working, and only after getting help from other devs
+ Made a couple of improvements to how knockback and i-frames are handled
+ Finally can move on to other things

+ Basic building functionality
+ Interactible objects and inventory system tweaks
+ Basic AI

+ Small tweaks and changes.
- Light week.

+ Title screen partially re-implemented; can now go to debug/dummy rooms with both characters
+ Re-implementing the first boss for [Blue]
- Too many life distractions last week
- Probably won't have title screen done before DD

+ expanded frame data handling, again; allows detailed invincibility events
+ weapons fade in/out when swapped
+ player & orc animations

+ Made the crusher system physics based
+ Tidied up the code

+ Added global online leaderboards for 9 categories
+ Added 22 steam achievements
+ Added boss rush
+ Started adding hard mode versions of bosses
+ Remade the core boss (the one with the crushy floors), demoted to not being a boss anymore
+ Added more anti-cheating routines
+ Adjusted score bonuses
- animation is hard

+ Updated water shader
+ New enemies
+ Minor fixes
+ Playing around with boss animation
+ Enabled burning by contact
+ Move lock visuals
+ Fixed audio and friction in water

+ Ironed out a lot of bugs for AI circling but made a breakthrough by finding another approach
- New approach needs debugging all over again
+ Added hitboxes, health, and a ragdoll to the bird with eyes as the weak points. Plan to make this important later on.
+ Made a script that keeps track of an AI's hidden status.
+ Made an LOS system that keeps track of a lot of data, such as the time an AI has seen something until detection, where it keeps a list of "known" targets.
- No effective progress was made until I implement what happens after an AI detects something.

+ Decided I'm not dead
+ Tied hit boxes to animations
+ implemented enemy behaviour for tengu girl

+ almost finished with the second map, smooth camera controller

+ Reworked conditions and actions so that cards and AI can share infrastructure
+ The actions are also way more intuitive, cards now work the way I've wanted them to for months

+ Also made AI a lot more robust and much easier to develop behaviour for
- It still looks the same as it did months ago
