Progress Report 10/29/2021 (Patreon)

It's time for the spookiest Friday of the year! Muahaha! >:D  Here's what I got done this week:

• Increased upward foot speed
• Studied object pooling

So funny thing about the object pooling... I think I accidentally used a similar system for Grape Escape's dialogue without even realizing it! Clearly this means that I'm a genius and know exactly what I'm doing all the time. :D  This time the object pooling will be used for the spawning and despawning of obstacles. Finishing that will put us very close to the release of 0.0.1!

Other than studying up on that, I increased the upward movement speed of the feet by about 33%. It's a minor change, but it seems like it makes the game faster-paced without looking too weird. I didn't increase the downward speed since that would increase the speed of the ground and the obstacles. That was... a jarring realization.

Lastly but most importantly, there won't be a progress report next week. I'm going on a little vacation to Colorado for a few days and won't be back until the weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to make up for it the following week!

Now go out there and scare some children! Oh, and enjoy Halloween, too! ;D  In the meantime, I'm gonna eat the spookiest Taco Bell of my LIFE!! I'll see you guys next-... sorry, habit. I'll see you guys in two weeks! :)
