January 2022 (Week 4)

+ F-15 Eagle Asset Creation vid done: youtu.be/gmFTsSE0GK0
+ Terrain editing is now much cheaper faster, building an airfield will no longer bankrupt the player.
- Although, with something as big as an airfield, multiple dozers will significantly increase the terrain flattening time.
+ Corrected scale for aircraft along with the airfield
+ Aircraft taxiing on airfield, takeoff, landing, and loitering logic is in
+ Airfield hangar and runway logic is in. All taxiway nodes are in in order to help carry the aircraft tarmac taxiing logic
+ Six new music tracks have been made. This set of faction-specific music is now done, will be in-game even before factions are added.
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
+ Here is the current music playlist for anyone that wants a listen: soundcloud.com/user-255042164/sets/b-b-ost
- For those that would like to use the AGDG recap, its here: recap.agdg.io

+ completely revamped the movement; everything is bouncy and squishy now and you can hold space to charge bounces
+ made the perspective more conventional fixed perspective 3rd person rather than orthographic isometric
+ redid the demo level to reflect the changes

Took a couple weeks but I got everything feeling the way I want it to. Camera is still a work in progress, but I think I can start working on proper non-linear levels and enemies to kill. Then comes stat upgrades and elemental abilities
and of course art and music from my bros
I think the game's alot better, thanks for the feedback anons.
I'd appreciate any further input (I'm sorry the browser version isn't working right now) on movement feel and all that bros

vidya game coming along. finishing up the design doc today, and starting work on the playable prototype ASAP.

Mostly finished the game. It doesn't look pretty, nor does it play well, nor is it that well designed, but it functions enough to be a playable MVP of the game design doc. I'm calling it done, fuck it.

+ Added debug keys to remove clothes and change bust size (not seen here). Also some slight improvements to art here and there like making the hypnosis debuff art slightly better or the 'medium' bust size not looking weird.
+ More development on chat UI menu, removed the old clunky skip/go back buttons and now it opens a menu when you right click, including an option to open settings mid-talk. Also an option to hide the UI.
+ Added a directional blocking mechanic as hopefully one of the last major game mechanics. Still needs to be added to enemies and some feedback to make it clearer and making it clearer when the player is hit in general but it's coming along as part of trying to help the player understand anyfuckingthing that's going on.
+ Also setting up SFX for moves, there's not many in yet but there may be one for each move.
+ You can now select some player variables such as hair color on the main screen.
