iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Working on the framework for "Scenarios"! These are dev-authored events that can happen, such as an 'Aggressive' Tascot picking a fight with another Tascot. Don't write checks your ass can't cash, Button!

Always! Transparency is notorious for breaking on any hardware that's even *slightly* out of the norm (like some AMD graphics cards) So any magic tricks that prevent it from breaking are welcome.

It *used* to work on an emulation layer when Tascots ran on 3.2.1, but backers have told me it has since broke after upgrading to 3.6. I've been prepping the project to eventually try native Linux and Mac builds, but I've yet to try them so I can't say if I have a working solution yet.

This feels like a very novel way of doing LODs

Sometimes a Tascot can get in the way of what's important, so I've added a feature to drag them around 🫸

That's the plan! Some more polish to go, but you can use Tascots as a vtuber (via RC mode) or a chatter proxy!

It's very untested, but it theoretically *should* be able to announce everything in the listed settings of the UI! If it's a USERNOTICE irc message then I'm pretty sure it should catch and read it

Want to use your Tascot as a vtuber? just want to jump around your desktop? maybe pour a little water in the circuits? Good news! With our handy dandy UBIND system, you can assign Tascot-specific input binds to specifically-defined animations!

Plucking away at a fully-customizable key bind menu and controller support... Including separate binds for keyboard and controller as well as support for two-button inputs and specific-controller binding! This one's for the control freaks out there 🫶

The new Member ID menu is underway! This time around I designed it to feel much more like a legitimate membership card -- "Here at Tascots, you're family! 🫵😀👍" There'll even be a "printout" option that will save out a hi-res png of your card! #tascots #godot

Here at Tascots, we want your experience to be as flexible as possible. So if you want to ~set the scene~ (or stream without exposing your desktop) you can now set a Wallpaper of your choosing! You can even upload your own custom ones! (as demonstrated by the maplestory bg) #tascots #godot

After TascotMaker2's triumphant release, I've been cleaning up system code, revamping the main/settings menus and adding support for multiple monitors! I'm also implementing full window options, so you can technically run Tascots in a small floating window if you want it to be more tamagotchi style

For reference on my mid-range gaming laptop I use for development the project previously ran at 45~ fps

I had Tascots capped at 60fps so I was curious what the max frames the project could run at uncapped was and--

I finally hit upon a setup that has allowed me to migrate Tascots from Godot 3.2 to 3.6 and the performance boost has been huge! I'm so happy I could bury Button in fifty chairs!

Same here brother. I didn't get into gamedev until over a decade after LBP2, but it haunted my dreams until I finally started learning Godot in earnest

They cap out at 400 x 400 and the game renders them at half-size. TM2 has a new import menu to handle sprites over the size limit! bsky.app/profile/grae...

As a refresher on how Tascots works: - Tascots are saved in a singular .tascot file that can be freely shared with others (just put it in the game's custom_tascots folder) - Same goes for custom Dialogs! - I don't upload, store, or claim ownership of your Tascot in any capacity. Your work is yours!

It's saved to a local folder, I don't host or upload anything you make. Tascots are saved in a single .tascot file that you're free to share with friends however you like!
