Reworked the spirit gauge so it uses physical items instead of just filling up when dealing damage

Picking the project back up after doing some freelance work! Been doing some boss design stuff I don't want to spoil but I did change the tonemapper which does make the game look way less flat 😌

Also visited the 'manoir the gisson' from the first picture, where you could see the roofing structure from the attic. Amazed at how they managed to hold and support that kind of roofing, made from fairly thick stone.

Closer look at how the stone tiled roof is constructed from the inside

For me the BIG pain point for cutscenes in godot right now is the lack of blending options in animation playback tracks. Since it just tells the target animation player to play an animation you can't have them transition nicely, which is really handy when making smooth cutscenes in unity/unreal...

Example screenshot of a cutscene timeline from Hypogea. Some of the animation tracks are made with multiple animations and feature transition blends

Spent the evening trying to figure out a better way to handle cutscenes and I think I figured out something okay-ish? Main issue was having both a preview mesh of the player visible in the editor AND have those animations apply ingame to the player mesh

You also learn cool historical tidbits, like did you know that the Blender default cube dates back to at least the 1790s? Crazy stuff

I also really wish the Dead Kings DLC had had the chance to offer more of Saint Denis's impeccable vibes. Gloomy city covered in guards and fog, with an abandoned gothic cathedral above and the tombs of dead kings™ below? Yes please I want more of that.

Replaying Assassin's creed Unity and I think it's one of my not-cozy-looking-cozy-games. Like, is it intersting to collect the 100 cockades you need to get the black outfit color? No. Still doing that shit cause I just love vibing in Ubi's approximation of 1789 Paris. And it looks GOOD.

Since I've setup that nudging system I'm also trying out some autorotation on the combat camera so it helps frame the enemies better, will need some tweaking though #gamedev #madewithgodot

Had a lingering pet peeve where doing a chain of wall jumps would have the camera hitting on the walls so I finally made it so the camera gets nudged towards the walljump direction. Small tweak but helps a lot in making it less janky (I think?) #gamedev #madewithgodot

Made a room today. Pretty good room if I do say so myself. #gamedev #godot

Large circular stone room with 3 pillars. The bottom of the pillars glows red while the floor is cracked from the underlying heat. An oculus on the ceiling lets in a ray of light.

Glad to announce (pretty late) that I'm showcasing Hypogea at the FLIP festival from the 16th to the 18th! First time showcasing one of my games at this kind of event, pretty cool experience!

Demo stand for Hypogea. A banner sits on the right of a table. Two people are sitting in chairs side by side in front of the table, each playing the Hypogea demo.

Added a slight skid animation when stopping and made the wallslide in/out transitions smoother (+ you now rotate depending on your incoming speed). Still need to add some vfx to it tho! #gamedev #godot

Finally got around to play Nophenia and damn the vibes are good

Had a playtester at gamecamp note that w/ the character facing where they go, moving away from an enemy looks like you're running away which felt weird in terms of characterization. Changed it so now the character faces the nearest enemy when close enough & strafes around it (+some camera polish!)

Got feedback that the large palette of platforming moves was a bit out of balance with the low number of combat moves and how little they interact so I'm working on that!

Reminds me of playing assassin's creed unity and realizing that one of the time of days also has the sun in a nonsensical direction (north to south) I'm really curious why it was setup that way, was there a specific scenario that looked really good with it? Would love to know!

Added some low-tech reactivity to the plant shader! Purely UV-based rotation with preset pivots for each plant that gets blended depending on player distance and velocity. Pretty happy with it! How to detect/trigger the audio is still up in the air though, need to look into that!
