the readme is so big it now has a table of contents

Changelog

• MORE README!!!

more readme stuff to prepare for ship today, happening for sure (i think) (like 90% sure)
and also copy and paste local ips! it still doesn’t have UPNP yet, so it only works for devices on the same network, but still better than only on the same device lmao

Changelog

• copying and pasting ips
• changing address and port
• controls and legal disclaimer
• format
• fix hitbox bug and verify username

loading message bc for new map loading system which causes a scary gray screen and i dont want people to think it crashed or anything

look at my background

also my failed to join lobby message

Changelog

• WORLDS BEST MAIN MENU BACKGROUND HOLY SHIT

added map selector so you can play on either map, but the correct choice is already selected by default
skirmish a looked so ass so i added baked lights and now it looks like a completely different game holy shit

Changelog

• LIGHTING UP SKIRMISH ITS SOO GOOD NOW
• selecting map!!!
• gdformat/lint

JUMP PADS!!!
basically they work the same way as in RIsk of Rain 2, where they lock your inputs completely and force you to go on a predetermined route
i found this cool formula thing for calculating the required initial vloecity in order to land on a spot, and it was literally perfect and worked first try depsite being made for an older version of godot

Changelog

• more jump pad
• found a cool velocity calculator for jump pads
• working on jump pad

oops forgot to devlog
LOTS AND LOTS OF REFACTORING!!!! turns out having a mapping system so fragile you can only make maps on a single machine is kind of bad actually.
so i had to reorganize most of the map-related files, made a better trenchbroom config THATS ACTUALLY SAVED IN THE REPO THIS TIME, and reapplied all the textures
also started working on the readme!
features left:

• choosing the map
• jump pads
• a controls list somewhere, could also be on the readme
• legal stuff (im still just using ror2 assets)
• and something else thats very important but that i forgot
  (yes i am on windows and yes it does still suck)

Changelog

• retexturing
• fucked everything up
• starting texture organization
• readme initial
• exports
• more spawnpoints
• more environment stuff

environment work, specifically sexy sky shader i stole from a previous project (pepsi) and BAKED LIGHTS!! i forgot baked lights existed tbh, but they look so good

NEW MAP!!!!!!! THE BULWARK’S AMBRY!!!!!!!
now instead of bhopping around skirmish a from valorant, you get to do it around the Artifact Reliquary from Risk of Rain 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! large improvement
the reason the video is so long is bc i got distracted bhopping on the very fun map
next steps is to add a proper sky, probably from pepsi, and add launch pads to get to the more vertical parts of the map
you can also watch the lapse timelapse to see how i did all of it in trenchbroom
oh also you can disconnect from the game now i forgot to mention that

Changelog

• asdljasf
• bulwakrs 2.0
• bulwarks 1.0
• FUCK EA IT WORKS PERFECLTY I HOPE
• DISCONNECTING FROM GAME

settings which save to a file! shipping today (after i sleep) maybe

Changelog

• settings
• file org

started pause/settings menu
you cant really pause since its a multiplayer game but i dont know what else to call it

Changelog

• pause menu
• styled hslider

simple fix to the joining midgame issue: you just cant now!

Changelog

• cant join game if its in progress
• asiksdfsdf

man wtf
joining midgame is SO CLOSE to being complete, except the initial players dont sync the new peers synchronizer for some fucking reason, so it works mostly fine for the peer that just joined, except for the fact ehry dont get the data of the peers who were already connected

peers cna now join while the server is in the choosing survivors phase
this is the first step in allowing people to join midgame

Changelog

• fix
• joining while choosing survivors

tracking kills and deaths and open leaderboard with tab

Changelog

• tab to open leaderboard
• tracking kills in like 3 lines
• DEATSH ON THE LEADBEORAD

started making the leaderboard, it doesnt do anything yet tho
and disabled the hitbox when dying so that you dont get hit after you die

Changelog

• leaderboard start
• disable hitbox when respawning

write up the skill info for each skill. this sounds easy, especially since the system for it was already in place, but chef once again got me to refactor the entire system so i could dynamically change descriptions. works REALLY well tho

Changelog

• big ass refactor and chef skill descriptions
• commando skill descriptions
• skill info when hovering

really basic theming and styling!
lots of experience from risk of rice but godots ui system is nicer honestly
i could make it look nicer but this is the furthest im willing to go in terms of complexity, its a fps not a rice after all
also SICK ASS LOGO I LOVE IT SO MUCH
also thank god for ft utils saving the devlog my screen died while writing ts

Changelog

• nearest
• cant connect if lobby doesnt exist
• sick fucking logo
• button themes
• making theme

weapon sway and skill icons
also works for Yes CHEF! and it changes the icons of the other abilities but i forgot to show that mb
and little error messsage when trying to make a duplicate lobby on the same network

Changelog

• weapon sway
• fix chef roll crash
• chef changing icons
• add skill icons!
• error message when failing to make lobby

sick as hell respawn messages from Risk of Rain Returns

starting to implement death and respawning and stuff. rn it just hides the player and focuses the cam on the killer
this required a big ass refactor to start tracking the last attacker but i think it worked

Changelog

• killcam!!!!!!!!!
• starting respawn system
• make mouse mode activate on click

one line of code = 3+ player support

Changelog

• oh thats everything i need to support 3+ players AND allow multiple people to pick the same character

phase round in third person!
i am SPAMMING devlogs holy

Changelog

• phase round third person anims wip
• gdformat
• remove prints and fix phase round

refactored the skills to have a start/finish design to support multiplayer better instead of checking each physics frame if the ability is still being held down. this only really effects phase round and dice, but this was a refactor that was gonna happen eventually
and yes im including the git changelog now

Changelog

• all skills now refactored
• grenade and slide
• commando double tap and phase round
• refactored dice
• start refactor skill system to have start and finish
• more ability sync
• cam rotation is synced

more ability sync stuff, mostly a bunch of dealing with my old code that i no longer understand since i havent been inside this codebase in forever

ok so it DOESNT WORK AT ALL when you have 3 or more players for whatever fucking reason.
on a completely unrelated note this project is now a 1v1 game
THIS is what godot multiplayer is for, ability syncs done in like 3 lines of code. its not perfect, but it does almost everything already
i should sleep its almost 4am and i have a big day tmw (Thursday)

LIHFSKS FOIFLK FLKFDODF FSO YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
IT WORKS
PERFECTLY

LETS FUCKING GOOOO IT ALMOST WORKS
the only issue is it makes two of each player and i cant switch to the other player to see if it works
but now rotation position and spine angle is all synced!

500 billion checks and bandaid solutions later: the host player works and the other peer player almost works

holy shit godot wakatime is so broken
almost every minute gets logged
lobby system is done officially! for now!
there are now indicators for when a player selects a survivor, it doesnt show the exact survivor, but just a checkbox.
also started getting the players into the same world, but thats still very WIP

GUESS WHOS BACK!!!!!!

lots of work on the lobby system so that when the host starts the game it waits for everyone to select their character before loading everyone into the game. its really buggy rn BUT IT WORKS. i can also add indicators to each player to show who locked in and who didnt

lobby implementation stolen straight from the godot docs

• joining
• leaving
• disconnecting (like by closing the window)
• hosting
• player list updates almost instantly
• lobby is global

implemented animations, and the cleavers actually update depending on whether or not you can throw them

working on animations using a choppy style because godot REALLY doesnt like it when i combine interpolation and inverse kinematics
anyways look at this image of my cat

made most of the boosted skills, but they suck ass rn and im so fucking tired

started working on Yes, CHEF! which upgrades your next set of moves, currently on works on dice
oh and roll does damage and knockback

image related

CANT TALK SO I ACTUALLY HAVE TO WRITE

NEW ABILITY: SEAR

IT COOKS THEM
basically its like pyro flamethrower from tf2
its a bit powerful rn, i might make it so its like in the game where you cant jump and youre slowed a lot but idk
also it should prevent the use of m1 but idrc rn

made the movement part of chefs roll so you can fulfill your dreams of being a robot monkey that turns people into stew

polished dice a lot

• animations
• outlines
• damage
• collisions

DICE LIKE FROM CHEF.
you get 3 cleavers and can make them flaot through magic

added the chef rig from Risk of Rain 2 sots dlc bc theyre like the only good character from sots

giant ass refactor #857, this time for players/entities
NOW WITH BUNDLES LIKE FROM BEVYY

cant talk rn so i actually have to write here:

• with the skills refactor i can now do stuff like ability pickups, in this case for the special ability
• i could easily make this for other slots but this is honestly just a feature to show that i could
• i could use the pickups for items or smth tho

giant refactor for skills and started actual work on ui

mapped a valo map for 1. practice and 2. testing

gave up on rigging the rest of the animations. also started to setup trenchbroom for maps, and im planning to use lapse for mapping

more rigging stuff on the model, this game is meant for multiplayer after all

imported commando model

refactored everything and made like a base entity class or something

might make ai with this later

dynamic animation on the guns to make it a lot smoother

grenades. for jumping

new skill: phase round

charge to amke a projectile, more charge = more speed and damage, and it looks cool

added tactical slide, on the ground its a normal slide which just gives speed, but in the air it redirects your momentum upwards/diagonally.

i have to wake up in 5 hours but i physically cant fucking sleep

its either i work on this project or i kill myself

anyways i added guns to reflect how i feel

STAIRS!!!!! YES THIS DID TAKE THE WHOLE TWO HOURS!
they work even when youre moving really fast

scrapped literally all the movement code and just copied quake since quake did it correctly. i did use this guide but its def worth it for this game

right now its just quake tho

started project.

i actually started this before ft even started, but when blender broke all my files i had to restart from scratch and this is like my attempt 2

rn i have basic third person camera movement, and a really shitty gun model

i might just rip Risk of Rain 2 assets since theyre so fucking good and im so bad
