March 2019 (Week 2)

+ Repo is linked up again.
+ Reviewing what I have done and need to do.
- I might need to start a fresh project for this again and move over a lot of my code and assets.

+ Added more secret things
+ Started making a list of vignettes/content/wrecks in a given system
+ Added Us encounters to places
+ Finally made fishing ships
+ Redid some title screen scenes
+ Fixed issue where configuration loader wouldn’t load key configs correctly
+ Fixed some ships not spawning for some factions
+ Fixed issue where key commands while in menus would sometimes go through
+ Fixed error messages that occured when pausing
+ Pathfinding system redone to spawn NPCs along the actual paths and less randomly
+ Idling NPCs will make more of an attempt to not fly through stations
+ NPCs will, if they are committed to docking, no longer break off and engage fighters
+ Fixed issue with idling NPCs spawning in wrong formations
+ Added all stations to another region of space
+ And also another region of space
+ Rebalanced higher level loadouts
+ Ships low on health will occasionally cry and beg you not to kill them because they have a family

Been busy with music and administration.
Discovered a memory leak that is big to fix.
I really enjoyed making a small Jam game for last AGDG,
so I'm going to prototype another small game and put
Cash Sample on hold.
Like for the Jam game, I'll build assets and code I can reuse later.
_____________________________
+ Debug systems
+ Design documents
- Performance problem
- Game postponed for a while
+ Switching to "Project Ecobot" (same engine)
- Missed quite a lot of AGDG again

Eco-Bot is a game where you play as a robot.
Find underground items to clean up the environment, and collect them all.
Purchase upgrades to detect more items, and unlock different locations.
_____________________________
+ Main mechanic prototype
+ New engine debug tool

So far so good.
Not posting webms yet, but very soon.
_____________________________
+ Diggable items spawning function
+ Save Menu
+ Message Sounds
+ Message Bubbles proto
+ 4K Resolution Base

Cool progress on scope this week.
Gonna draw on the side while enjoying the weekend.
_____________________________
+ Message Bubbles done
+ Optimized Treasure spawning
+ Some art transfer from previous projects
+ Some concept Art of the character (artlet edition)

getting more of the basic interactions done, still have quite some stuff to implement

added more targeting types

some health and damage and healthbars and text

+ Polished card behavior and movement
+ Added card tooltips next to them when hovered
+ Added a little flag to cards to indicate that they belong to the player's deck (as opposed to basic cards that you get every turn)
+ Cards move to either the player deck or discard pile if played (or fade out if they dont belong to the player)
- Found out that you cant rotate unity terrain, so i need another way of making modular tiles
