Progress Report 9/10/2021 (Patreon)

And so it begins again! Here's what I got done this week:

• Made the player character move
• Created obstacles that the player can collide with (not shown in gif)
• Made a foot that chases the player horizontally
• Stopped the foot from crossing over to the opposite side (to give room for the other foot)
• Added "Boo Bees"
• Set the game's aspect ratio and made it consistent regardless of monitor size

To those curious what the first stages of prototyping a game look like, here it is in all its sausage-making glory! This probably goes without saying, but I'm still learning Godot and GDScript. It's been a little tricky here and there and definitely slower, but things will pick up as I get used to it. ^_^

This is starting to shape into what the gameplay will look like. In the near future, expect that foot move up and down as it walks, as well as a second foot on the other side. If nothing else, we get a glimpse into the POV the game will have. It's gonna need a lot of tweaking and maybe even some redesign (that's what prototyping is for, after all), but we'll get there!

As long as we're in the prototyping stage, feel free to suggest changes or additions in gameplay that you'd like to see! :D

Anyhoo, money's a bit tight right now so I'm gonna have to pass on Taco Bell this time. It'll taste even better when I do get to eat it again! I'll see you guys again next week!
