got annoyed that godot doesn't have any simple method (that i can find) to automatically capitalize text without ruining bbcode so obviously the best solution is to make a custom font where the lowercase letters are (mostly) identical to the uppercase letters

honestly i'm actually kinda glad i did this because it means that i'm using a bitmap font that's mostly monospace and doesn't have weird pixel alignment artifacts

i have a basic level completion system set up now.

(still need to do save progression and status carryover, but eh)

Watch on YouTube

been slowly hacking away at my game. most recent work was adding a few things to help with setting up logic systems and whatnot.

does anyone actually read these?

started work on another new weapon because i am incapable of focusing on a task

haven't gotten all that much work done on the game. mostly because factorio space age came out.

oh well, my factory's doing good ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

randomly decided to add a new weapon to my game (well two weapons but not really)

that weapon being the akimbo winchesters from dusk but loaded with slugs instead

because one terminator 2 flip-cock capable weapon was simply not enough

more work on my game, mostly on e1m4 (along with the typical miscellaneous random stuff)

speaking of, i actually feel like i have e1m4's layout in a state that could be reasonably called "mostly finished"!

still need to add secrets and more enemies, though

...

and quickly, before space age releases in three days and i never do anything productive ever again

work has been slow and inconsistent as usual, not helped by me finally noticing that oneshot world machine edition was out and also finally getting around to playing both doom 2 and myhouse.wad, not to mention College™.

i did get *some* work done, don't get me wrong -- i've set up stuff for some of the powerups -- but adhd is adhd and i'm not exactly the fastest dev in the west.

anyway, i did some work on powerups, mostly logic. the logic isn't too complicated, most of it is just "add value to timer when you pick up the thing, and then when something happens that the powerup is relevant to, check if the powerup timer is above zero, and if it is, do the thing the powerup does." the fast fire powerup is the most complicated so far, since i want it to be stackable, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...

eight days until factorio space age releases and utterly annihilates the last remaining shreds of my productivity.

finally got around to figuring out how model point classes work with trenchbroom and funcgodot! also reorganized a bunch of files and started work on a new level.

also also threw together a quick barebones title screen

today, i implemented basic level completion and transition mechanics.
it was suprisingly difficult.

i still haven't implemented any mechanism to actually carry things like health/weapons/etc between levels, but that'll happen eventually.

today on v's devlog...

turrets! in two different flavors!
in the front are actual, dedicated turret enemies, with their own (semi-)custom logic, and in the back are a pair of pinkertons (the game's "omnipresent cannon fodder" type enemy, a la doom's imps or dusk's mages), configured to stand still instead of pursuing the player.

spent most of this afternoon installing and setting up linux on my actual hard drive

it's been tough, but definitely preferable to having to put up with w*ndows for even a minute longer

confessedly, i haven't done too much work on this project, but hey. college ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
of the work i *did* do, most of it was on a level. this level. e1m3.

anyway, here's a pic of the trash spawner in action.

what's this machine do? the world may never know~

spooky basement jumpscare

i need to make more concrete materials, don't i

today i spent working on this here trash generator brush thingy.

i still need to make more random props to put into the trash, but i figure i'll manage to do that over time as i model props for the game in general.

maybe this is a weird first entry for a devlog, but hey. i needed to start somewhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hello!

you can call me v. i'm here from cohost, though i'm thinking that i might like to use this place as a dedicated spot for me to put a devblog for the game i've been working on.

speaking of...

for some time now, i've been working on making a quake/dusk-inspired fps game in the godot engine[1]. so far, i've made most of the weapons, a handful of enemies, a couple of levels, and some basic ui things. i still need to figure out how the hell to do stair stepping in godot that isn't janky as all hell, though.

hope you enjoy!

[1]fun fact: this is actually the third build of the game i've made thus far, with the first two being done in unity.
