DEVLOG #25
I was ill for a few days but I am back! The playable demo is so close!

- After the start button is clicked, the player can choose from 2 possible difficulties
- EASY - everything is normal
- HARD - Every enemy has 1.5x more strength and HP, slimes shoot slime arrows
- Added range for every projectile
- Tooltips for every item in inventory
- Refactured entity AI system
- Fixed a few bugs

- Added knockback to player and stun for a few milliseconds after geting hit

A problem:

- Added 2 attacks for the mole:
-
Rock Burst - He throws a few rocks at you
-
Burrow Attack - The mole spawns on the position of the player but with a second delay
The biggest problem was to rewrite all the code for the animations to work
It should be quite easy to add another boss if I wanted :)
It finally feels like a real boss fight, it has it’s own rythm and dynamic.

I don’t have much time because of school :(
- Added a first boss - MOLE!! I still don’t have a name for him
- Problem is that he just acts like a slime, but he can’t move
- Because of animations I had to rewrite a lot of code
I can’t wait to implement custom attacks and animations for him!

DEVLOG #19
- I had to completely rewrite all code for world persistance
- Underworld blocks now have collisions and can be mined with a pickaxe
- Created sprites for walls in underground and a wooden pickaxe
I don’t even have the energy to write all the things that have to be done for it to work
The project has 1600 lines of code
I’m so glad to present you working underground:

DEVLOG #18
After a loooong time I managed to create working underground block spawning system:
- Made a working tilemap that has the same values as the surface one
- Instead of grass and water there are stone and lava
- Because I don’t have a sprite for a stone, there is a tree sprite as a placeholder
At first, it was very laggy and kept crashing my game. I wanted to spawn 31 000 objects at once.
To keep away my pc from exploding I added:
- Chunking - The script is spawning only what player see
- When the chung goes out of the sight, it gets deleted
- After 15 blocks created the script takes a break for a frame
It’s still not perfect, but the game now runs at 150+ fps no matter what

Unfortunately I didn’t have much time today, but I forgot to devlog things that i changed yesterday so here it is:
-
Added a ladder to the underground so the player can get back up. The problem is that it tooks a few seconds to load everything. I have to make an animation in the future to hide it
-
Set boundaries to the camera and the player so they cannot just run away
-
Save every change in the world to the dictionary. The world now tracks every move you make. That means that if you cut down a tree, the change will be saved to the dictionary and after a scene change it will not be generated again

DEVLOG #16
- Changed sprites of inventory slots, trees and a sinkhole
- When the player interacts with the sinkhole, they are now teleported to the underworld
- The underworld has the same tilemap as the surface. Because of that if there is a snow biome at the surface, there will be snow biome beneath it

Looks cool, looks like stardew valley a little.
Thanks! I took an inspiration, but it should be more focused on combat and RPG elements.
DEVLOG #15
- Changed grass sprite so the world looks more alive
- Added a sinkhole witch is an enterance to the underworld (It doesn’t teleport player now, the player is just killed when he clicks on it for testing purposes)

Hi ^^
In my opinion, you could try generating trees with slightly random sizes!
And maybe add some shadows to give the scene more depth.
Thanks for the tips Kajmix! The trees actually have some kind of randomness in size but it wasn’t noticeable enough. As for the shadows I quickly reworked the sprite to include a black semi-transparent circle under the trunk.
DEVLOG #14
- Arrows are now a finite resource
- Arrows do damage when they collide with enemy
- The player can’t shoot without arrows
- Fixed a bug where the player respawned in the corner of the map instead in the center
I’m so happy that after a long time I managed to create a working melee and ranged combat mechanics

bro how u got the cookbook authour achiement
I got it by creating 10 devlogs
DEVLOG #13
-
Y-Sort: Sprites are finally sorted right and player can walk behind trees!
-
Knockback: Added a knockback value to every weapon
-
Spawnpoint of the player: He spawns always in the middle of the map
-
Created range weapons and projectiles: Currently there is just 1 bow and 1 arrow that doesn’t even do damage , but that’s about to change!
There is still a lot of bugs in the code but I didn’t have time to repair it.

Nice
DEVLOG #12
World:
- Trees are now generating randomly on a grass (most of the time)
Inventory: - Every item in the inventory now has their own tooltip with their name
- When your inventory is full you cannot pick items anymore
It isn’t much in that amount of time, but I don’t have enough experience in UI so it was a pain

DEVLOG #11 ALMOST WORKING INVENTORY!
After a long session of debuging my code I finally created a clickable inventory.
Things that work:
- Open and close inventory by pressing E on keyboard
- Change item position in the inventory by clicking on the item and empty slot
- Swap item position by clicking on the item and item you want to swap it with
Things that don’t work:
- Player cannot items with full inventory (items just disapear)
- Drop items from inventory
- Tooltip for each item
- Animations
I’m so glad that it is working now 🔥

Things that have changed:
- Player data is now in a database: Every player stat is now in one JSON file

The core fighting loop is ready!
Slimes are no longer just standing there!
They drop items!

I locked in and created this:
- working sword animation
- slimes that you can kill (so they can you)
- cool effect
The biggest thing is that i can create or balance any item in a few seconds because of my database made in CastleDB

I have completely restructured the item database. Now I don’t have to hardcode every item by myself.
Also you can see what you are holding right now (maybe remove later).

Today I added an inventory system, hotbar and procedural terrain generation.
It’s not perfect, especially the design, but I think it’s going well.
