Making progress on my P&C adventure game!
Hi all, hope you're doing well!
About 3 months ago, I posted in here with this "official" reddit account for my game dev endeavour. I was asking if I should start my game from scratch or bite the bullet of a somewhat painful to work on code base.
So I thought I had enough to post a little update!
I am happy to report that, after a lot of you convincing me NOT to restart from scratch, I've listened and worked hard on refactoring exactly two systems that were an absolute pain, working with the rest as is. I also built a little tool to write quests and dialogues and convert them to immediately usable json for my systems, and...just worked on building the game!
I added a couple animated cutscenes for transition and I'm finishing touches on the main intro one (full three minutes, more animation that I've ever done in my entire life).
And also...PUZZLES! There are only three currently, they are all functional as of now, and one I just finished the main assets for (in the second gif).
Thank you all for pointing in the right direction. Even with a lot already done, it was really hard getting back fully on that horse, but now that I'm on it, it feels as joyful as ever with every commit, and every new sound, music or asset added.
