Probably. If I make it, will Discord hire me? 🤔
swift cobalt
good question
worldly parcel
swift cobalt
i need like
a sprite changing buffer
because i keep getting the issue where the sprite wants to change for 1 frame
like when you reverse direction
swift cobalt
code only
worldly parcel
states? or pure variables = play this thing?
worldly parcel
wait
are you referring mainly to when you roll and then it registers as you standing still before rolling opposite way? Or something that applies to multiple states?
swift cobalt
like when i hit a wall and lose all my horizontal speed and but then quickly gain it with a down dash
or when i turn around horizontally
or like this situation
worldly parcel
Where does your GetSnailSprite code live? Or where is it called? Is it part of the CharacterController logic?
swift cobalt
its in
LateUpdate()
because i wanted it after all the movement/speed calculations
im just going to make a 3 frame buffer
and it wont switch sprites until the new sprite has been requested 3 times in a row
like
debouncing code

wow
its perfect
animation controller nearly there
ok
everyone who wants a custom skin
heres what you need to submit
walk, upair, shell, downair
worldly parcel
animation controller nearly there
This sprite reminds me of this character from the titular animated series "Snail Ya Later" /s
worldly parcel
It doesn't compare to custom art done by a professional, but it's better than me at pumping something half-decent out
worldly parcel
walk, upair, shell, downair
should it just be a straight palette-swap? Or can we change things within the sprite itself, like additional shading?
swift cobalt
you can change anything
just keep the same size canvas
and use the palette
the art has no impact on the game
we are all an 8x8 circle in our hearts
worldly parcel
Which palette is that tho
worldly parcel
worldly parcel
not a default by the looks of it.. I cry
swift cobalt
swift cobalt
can you use this
and the load palette thing?
weird
it is similar but like
different colors
ok
well
maybe who cares about colors and i will fix it later?
worldly parcel
I'm trying with the colors provided.. in that image
we shall see
Aseprite is glitching tf out now for some reason, so I'll have to do it later..
worldly parcel
swift cobalt
ok i finished animation
need to do a list
- make sound effects 4:13 + 15:00
- make soundmanager work accross rooms 27:40
- make your score show up in the highscore list instead of over your time 24:57
- pause menu to control number of nimis, sound/music volume and return to menu 49:36 + 3:00
- update high scores better so you dont have to do another run to see your run result 29:47 (i got distracted trying to beat my score)
- make avatar state on top path so its worth trying 9:41
- stretch goal, new level 30:00+41:00

I've heard that's how it is. "DLC" as they call it
swift cobalt
im thinking level 3 is a consistency check
just a straight slalom for 10 seconds
likethis one
also, environment for level 3
?
snow???
no, that implies gameplay differences
worldly parcel
Level 1 gives me arid.. something or other.
Level 2 gives me tropical/forest
So maybe level 3 is mountain (rocky, gray)? Or maybe beach? (sandy)?
swift cobalt
i kinda came up with something
im testing
IM IN STEALTH MODE

unity is being weird right now
its like not auto loading new changes to sprites
I think new version is ready for release
3.5 hours of dev
swift cobalt
Plus like
1.5 hours of tinkering and doing something else and not working on a specific task
carmine perch
tried to put the entire bee movie script as my name, i dont think itch liked that lmao
swift cobalt
yea
youre on the list now
- do processing on the name input 10:00
- make pause work better since it cancels the full screen when playing on web 7:09
- write devlog
so close
@worldly parcel I took the new top path
carmine perch
nooooo, i got too good of a time
carmine perch
o yeah that was me on a test run, tried pasting on smaller chunks of the bee movie script
not sure if the length or the spaces was what stopped it from working
swift cobalt
idk
i think spaces break it
idk
i never tried anything weird
- remove the # thing from high score names 0:35

update: tried pasting the entire bee movie script but without spaces
that also did not work

Jer's out this month. Whatchu need done? I'll get it done for 2¢ on the $
worldly parcel
Something that I think would be kinda on theme and look decent would be to go into aseprite.. create a simple checkered flag pattern (you can make it white and black, should be fine)..
Idk how Unity handles parallax, but the idea would be when you pause, the pause menu is a parallax of the checkered pattern moving across the screen with some colored overlay.. and make the whole thing semi-transparent...
It's on theme-ish since checkered is related to racing, and it is a very clear visual indicator to the player that the game is paused or that the game state is different
swift cobalt
I literally had a dream about playing level 3 last night
worldly parcel
I literally had a dream about playing level 3 last night
Idk if that's a good or a bad thing. Sometimes when I hyperfocus on a new game I'm super into, i will dream in terms of the game, and when I wake up I believe I have to continue to abide by those rules for a solid few minutes until I fully wake up
swift cobalt
Hahahaha
It was like when you play too much Tetris
And it's just kinda running in the back of your head even though you stopped playing
worldly parcel
It was like when you play too much Tetris
"I am the long piece.. and the door is perfectly straight. If i go to the bathroom right now, the whole house will disappear.."
swift cobalt
LOL
swift cobalt
Something that I think would be kinda on theme and look decent would be to go in...
I'll give this a try
In the new version I already added checkered flags for the start and finish, which is funny
worldly parcel
A furniture moving game where you gotta pack stuff suboptimally otherwise the furniture literally disappears as you score arbitrary points.. and now you need to buy new furniture
worldly parcel
A furniture moving game where you gotta pack stuff suboptimally otherwise the fu...
Or maybe you get a negative score to indicate how much money you lost from certain furniture disappearing
swift cobalt
but idk if im going to lean into the racing theme
that is a decision we have to make i guess
worldly parcel
Literal snail racing
Time to make a sub-game/minigame where players can "bet" on a ninji from a lineup without knowing their linked user.. or something
swift cobalt
i was thinking of a way to spectate a nimi
like
to see the top score nimi strategy
worldly parcel
Click on a high score from the list.. and that will start the "run" and camera will follow that ninji
swift cobalt
yea
worldly parcel
Issue with that is you would have to make the text into buttons, basically. Or you can just make a new menu in the Pause menu to view ninjis
swift cobalt
I don't think that's too hard
After monster path I am the button king
Ok so, things that need to be decided for next version
- Go with racing theme?
- Ui style update
- Next biome for level 4
worldly parcel
What is biome 3? Swamp? Graveyard??
swift cobalt
It's kinda both
Have you played it?
It's just like swirly skulls underground with rain
worldly parcel
I haven't played it yet, no
Honestly
We need like a "crystal garden" type level for biome 4
Something bright.. "rainbow road"-like to contrast the graveyard level or something
Longest and most difficult level
swift cobalt
Hmmmmm
worldly parcel
Or
Bouncy castle
With bouncy walls finally
Make the whole level bouncy, actually. So much chaos
swift cobalt
xD
i was planning to basically make 4 levels per biome
but i just wanted to get every biome out there early
to get a feel
i like rainbow road better than bouncy
because i dont know if we need a new mechanic
there is still a lot to explore with our current 3 things
walls, boosts, enemies
swift cobalt
I haven't played it yet, no
i could tell haha
worldly parcel
So we're aiming for sub 4 seconds, it would seem
worldly parcel
Let me hear it
swift cobalt
it was to make a clean tileset
and then randomly change the color
but i have to change each tile one at a time
then i was going to cycle through the rainbow
but there doesnt seem to be a function for changing all the tiles at once
doing it for all of them individually is lag city
rainbow idea is ded
worldly parcel
but there doesnt seem to be a function for changing all the tiles at once
Why do this when you can just create a material that changes color over time... then drop the mat on the sets you want affected with a different "starting" color before it starts cycling or something
I think that would work
And not be as intensive
If what I said even made sense
worldly parcel
I would also make the color shift gradually or more slowly in general.. to not trigger epilepsy
swift cobalt
yea
let me try material
idk how to make it work with a tile map
i cant juist drop a material on for some reason
2d unity problems
swift cobalt
i have played towerfall
worldly parcel
Was contemplating making a copy of it in 3d
swift cobalt
why 3d?
worldly parcel
3d would feel way different tho..
Idk, i have least experience with 3d and want to learn/get better and more comfortable with 3d environment
swift cobalt
i think 3d would be hard given the
1 shot gameplay
like right now the game is about playing head games and timing the other person with feints and patience
and in 3d you would have to add in a lot more moving and aiming
at least the way i am envisioning it
i guess you could do 3d with a fixed camera so its more
2d
worldly parcel
Yeah, pov plays a big role in knowing where things are so you can react
swift cobalt
i think you just gotta restrict thep layer somehow
worldly parcel
I just need something I can go from nothing to something really quick so I can start iterating instead of feeling like progress is too slow because of larger implementations/systems
worldly parcel
Feel like Omashu is a good size project
swift cobalt
have you tried making a 2d game about falling down fast?
xD
i agree, this is a nice scope
worldly parcel
I was considering trying to replicate Omashu, ngl. Also considered trying to go 3d to differentiate it
swift cobalt
basiclaly remove procgen and everythign feels so much nicer scope wise
procgen + AI
are the things that sound good but waste time
worldly parcel
procgen + AI
worldly parcel
True
It's nice when things look nice
But
You gotta balance appearance with function
Alright, I'll make my own version of Omashu.. or try to.. idk if I'll go ham with the ninjis the way you did tbh
worldly parcel
Perhaps. I will see. 3d could have some neat movement, but it'd be more work... so tbd
swift cobalt
I have a suggestion
One moment
i need jer to help me
but i have a 3d movement that seems fun
and could be omashu ified
as in turned into small race tracks
worldly parcel
Interesting
Like Mario Kart tracks that let you hover on the track instead of "ride" on it kinda
swift cobalt
yea
but could be fun to like
have 10 collectables and its a speed run game to path and get them all
or just like omashu try to get from front to back while gravity goes cray cray
its fun to just run around
oops, i made the goals solid....
carmine perch
hm
also tried cheating using macros. unfortunately, i suck at using macros
spamming S at inhuman speeds also doesn't work
swift cobalt
youd have to plan out the whole route and just time all the button presses
swift cobalt
yea
Jer can do a thing where he flies up
then downdashes
and starts at max speed down
carmine perch
worldly parcel
spamming S at inhuman speeds also doesn't work
I feel this (my keyboard cries)
worldly parcel
Yeah, idk if I'll be able to break the habit. Might try approach with dual-mashing (down arrow + space back and forth)
swift cobalt
oh no
worldly parcel
So what will level 4 theme be? If don't wanna complicate with rainbow... Maybe snowy? Doesn't have to have new mechanics, just a snowy mountain you roll/"sled" down
swift cobalt
i still dont know
maybe rocky mountain with wind?
eh i dont like it
im going to try to make it look like bricks
ummm
uh
i can live with this
worldly parcel
Not bad
swift cobalt
im going to add some little touches, but baseline I like this
idk what bg color should be
kinda like green rn
worldly parcel
Green contrasts the skulls and snail more than yellow or red..
Considered like blue-green? Light purple?
worldly parcel
Oof
worldly parcel
Why not this color background?
swift cobalt
It just looked bland to me
I want a contrast color on something
Maybe jewels in the walls?
swift cobalt
sounds good to me
worldly parcel
sub 4 is possible
swift cobalt
This is not healthy
worldly parcel

I think the music is honestly a bit loud
More music options if you wanted different music for different levels:

I think the music is honestly a bit loud
you can adjust it on the pause menu

is the most speed level ive ever made
its the longest geographically, but the time is still like 6ish seconds
i just put it up
worldly parcel
worldly parcel
Disgusting
swift cobalt
im fixing it and adding al ittle efect for when you win a level
building...
i think its time to think about how this game ends
a few categories i need to plan out:
- sound and music
- number of levels
- any extra mechanics?
- any extra QOL?
- any extra juice?
swift cobalt
1. sound and music
jump sound
land sound (different materials?)
bonk sound
dash sound
start sound
win sound
heart sound
skull sound
new best sound
mouse over button sound
click button sound
start level sound
menu bg music
biome 1 bg music
biome 2 bg music
biome 3 bg music
biome 4 bg music
swift cobalt
2. number of levels
4 for each biome? maybe 3 normal and 1 you only unlock by getting top 10% of one of the first 3
swift cobalt
3. any extra mechanics?
slime, trampoline, snow drift, speeder, breakable blocks?
worldly parcel
slime, trampoline, snow drift, speeder, breakable blocks?
Hidden paths (think mario entering hidden zones in Super Mario World or something)
swift cobalt
i thought of that too
swift cobalt
so omashu is no longer getting plays on itch.io
so if i want to continue i have to post it somewhere else, make a youtube video, get a youtuber to play, or put it on steam
but i guess first things first, going into work mode to make it presentable to those groups of people
switching menu so its not mouse controlled since the real game is keyboard controlled
idk why
but im proud of the way the letters move subtly
swift cobalt
removing the need for the mouse completely is taking longer than expected
idk how to fix that CTR
but we broke 100 plays
xD
worldly parcel
Heck yeah
I thought about what I would do if I made an Omashu clone
Basically instead of powerups, you would get like 5 points to allocate to one/each of 3 stats or something (Top Speed, Weight (affects aerial drag, down dash strength), Acceleration.. or something like that) then run the course with your set stats.

i doubled the speed, this was a bit too slow for me
now its 0.5 sec
literally spent last 3 days on ui stuff
i feel like i gotta figure out the workflows better
but i never use keyboard only
swift cobalt
swift cobalt
I need ideas, Im trying to push for 16 levels this week
but every level just feels more diabolical
carmine perch
have you tried going up?
from what i remember, the hearts increase your velocity in whatever direction you're when you touch them
swift cobalt
carmine perch
do the unthinkable saturn. go up!
swift cobalt
xD
i was thinking of doing a loop
like a skull is in your way, so you hit it to remove it
then fall down, and loop back around to the top and now you can make it because skull not in the way
IM DOING IT
carmine perch
swift cobalt
should the mashing level just be mashing?
like literally 100 skulls straight down?
or should i do other stuff
carmine perch
i think a straight mashing level could be a cool challenge

That looks cool.
Alright back ...
this game only take 4-8 seconds to play 😄
swift cobalt
your nimi now only saves if you are in the top 10 when you make it
i think that will basically make server costs for this game go to zero
i was getting worried because i was making a ton of levels and they were each going to have a lot of transform data
carmine perch
i had one good run and now i cant beat it
swift cobalt
hahahaha
swift cobalt
Im having a problem
where
all the levels i want to make are just variaitons on consistency
done with ui
swift cobalt
I think I cooked on level 7

Will skip even if you press Enter and have entered a name in the text field?
swift cobalt
i dont think so lol
ill check
if you press enter in the field it goes to the next room
so you cant do that

How much is left until this is considered 100% delivered based on the goals you set initially/a few weeks ago?

Ahhhhh, I gotchu

OMASHU UPDATE
OUT NOW
I think 2 new levels
but the bigger update is now underway
its going to have new items in the levels
one will be a gravity switcher
im sorry everyone
worldly parcel
Ruh roh
swift cobalt
its just like
another thing to think about lol
im making my favorite kind of platformer
the
"its smooth if youre good at it" platformer
worldly parcel
Why's he upside tho
worldly parcel
What will the gravity switcher do to benefit you is my question.. bc if the objective is to go down most of the time, this feels like something you want to dodge
swift cobalt
oh
worldly parcel
Sorry, it's my follow-up question
swift cobalt
i just made the levels make you go down then up
like
the goal is above the start
but you fall down then reverse and go back up
worldly parcel
Ahhh
That's pretty cool
If you press down arrow when going up does it slow your rise, or does it boost your ascent?
swift cobalt
right now it reverses controls completely
but i like the idea of it being still a boost down kinda
i wonder which works better
swift cobalt
That's pretty cool
to answer your question clearly, down does nothing, but if you press up you boost upward
as if everything was reversed
worldly parcel
Gotcha
We need a level where you gotta weave up and down, so get the reverse grav and the grav normalizer back and forth.. then you can introduce another item the Jetpack which lets you fly up against gravity, no need for grav power up
worldly parcel
Boost down probably isn't good in reverse grav unless you have a good side area leading back up that you can only access by slowing your ascent
Is my guess anyway
swift cobalt
it kinda feelsl ike you need to be moving horizontal for it to be interesting
which is not
common
worldly parcel
Hrmm, yeah
swift cobalt
i was thinking of adding a horizontal heart
like
it boosts you but only left/right
worldly parcel
Hrmmm. Sounds pretty niche. Good for those horizontal levels, nowhere else probably
swift cobalt
or maybe just
a "zone"
like a large area where if you are in it you move to the right quickly
worldly parcel
If you make zones that give boost to either horizontal or vertical speed, i don'r see why you couldn't also do either a reverse or low grav zone as well
worldly parcel
Starry
swift cobalt
for the bounce
worldly parcel
Heck yeah
I'm going to hate boosting down into slime and not getting the perfect landing boost and instead losing a bunch of speed
As i am bounced back into outer space..
swift cobalt
lol
worldly parcel
How viable is a slowmo power-up that halves time speed (so time ticks slower and your character moves slower but you can interact better/faster) then in playback it should all still look the same at normal speed
worldly parcel
In my head slowmo would be for tight timing for a jump or down dash
swift cobalt
Maybe like jumps over skulls and under skulls while moving left to right
worldly parcel
That could work. I see the vision
swift cobalt
kinda of
i instantly went for the hardest level design
which is
a level you can run upside down or upside up
and you can choose
lol
worldly parcel
Hrmmm
worldly parcel
Hrmmmm, very interesting
worldly parcel
Mhm mhm. Heart power up gives boost right? That's "Avatar state"?
swift cobalt
Correct
worldly parcel
Speedy. What's your best time on it so far?
worldly parcel
Bet
swift cobalt
building now
its up now
9/16 levels finished
but one needs total rework
so just about 50% done
worldly parcel
Good progress overall 🙂
swift cobalt
I finally redid the UI in a way that doesnt make me unahppy
going to try to finish out the last 5 levels and call this one done soon
i might make it so your name and your score are aligned better
like name left align, score right align
swift cobalt
omashu controls have been updated a little
so leaderboard wipe
xD
When you hit a skull and get bounced
you cant down dash for 0.5 seconds
so you cant down dash through them all
and when you get a heart boost
your max speed goes up from 10 to 12
worldly parcel
Hrmmm, will be interesting to see which is faster
swift cobalt
i am also not sure
i think maybe jumping the little bump and landing right in the bottom
@worldly parcel trying to bang out the last 4 levels, any level ideas?
Completely upside down level?
worldly parcel
Completely upside down would be neat.
You ever implement bounciness or no?
worldly parcel
Casino level: Gotta bounce off the "flipper" (bouncy tile) to get a good angle to go through the path you want
Idk
swift cobalt
Level 1 on bouncy tile physics
i tweaked level 1 to make it playable forwards and backwards
now instead of avoid skulls you want them since they push you up
worldly parcel
Oh
Wait
What if you did something similar to mario kart
50cc, 100cc, 150cc, mirror (upside down/reverse direction)
swift cobalt
all zones can go mirrored?
i think id have to change some zones
mirrored is easy, upside down idk
thats like saying you have to make all mario kart courses beatable backwards
but it could be possible
swift cobalt
so im glad i sent this
i accidentaly deleted thisl evel just now
because of a programmer 0-1 indexing thing
i was making level 12
but it was a copy of level 1
so i opened level one, did a save as
and confidently typed in "level11"
because i assumed the levels started at level0
worldly parcel

What size you need it to be?
swift cobalt
but i always get this really weird aspect ration from chatgpt
small capsule is 462x174
but like if you are telling it to modify an image, i would assume it should stay the same size and aspect ratio
in other ai news
i got offline AI video to text transcription working today
worldly parcel
It claims it resized it according the the specified dimensions
worldly parcel
and you get out a .txt of everything everyone said
Not bad for closed captions
worldly parcel
Ahhh

First one definitely has a lot going on. Muting the colors with white in the second helped a bit. I don't think it's bad.
worldly parcel
Has Jer help make a final decision
swift cobalt
He said the white bg
And I gotta upload
So I'm just doing it
I've made this take 2 weeks already
It's awful
swift cobalt

worldly parcel
Were you playing a hardcore/permadeath char?
swift cobalt

but i spent a lot of money on it lol
swift cobalt
@worldly parcel do you want to be the baseline times in omashu?
I want to include 1-3 times for each map to encourage people to aim for something
I had to clear all the highscores
if youre fast it should only take 2 minutes
😄
worldly parcel
I can probably take a look later. Still technically at work rn
swift cobalt
no worries, I set the release for jul 30
im going to get a few people for a spread
but i know you will be the fast time lol
started going with my new style as well
worldly parcel
VAMOS
swift cobalt
I'm thinking the angle is
"nobody is perfect all the time"
"but can you be perfect for 7 seconds?"
worldly parcel
Solid slogan

Idk if it's an issue with discord or what, but the video here just looks like a freeze frame of.. frame 1 for me
swift cobalt

worldly parcel
It says it's playing, but the video isn't really playing..?
swift cobalt
Weird, it's working for me

Dumb question: Does it really cost like $100 to put a game up on Steam?
Follow-up question: Can you upload a game to steam without releasing the game? I've heard people mention using "Steam servers" to test multiplayer functionality...
swift cobalt
Dumb question: Does it really cost like $100 to put a game up on Steam?
Follow-...
it does cost 100 just to put it on steam
yes you can upload it without releasing it
but it still costs 100$
but once you make a certain amount
they refund the 100$
worldly parcel
Hrmmm, interesting
Weird
So what would be the point in uploading a free game without like microservices? Financially speaking I mean
swift cobalt
They don't want spam so they make it cost to spam
But yes, free games just lose 100$
swift cobalt
2.99
worldly parcel
Ok ok
worldly parcel
Yeah, fair, lol
swift cobalt
But I also allow regional pricing
worldly parcel
My wife wants me to put the Dungeon Wizard game in app store or something, but I don't.. feel like it? Or really see the potential for it to make money, ig
swift cobalt
So other countries will be a lot less
worldly parcel
I feel like i've taken this off topic of Omashu
swift cobalt
I think dungeon wizard is your best game so far
I spent at least 4 hours playing
Over like 3 days
worldly parcel
Hrmmm
worldly parcel
🤯
swift cobalt
i meant now i need 86 people lol

I'm bad at music, but trying to learn this 8-bit music tool (Bosca Ceoil)
This is a super short snippet.. I was trying to envision a song that'd play in Omashu
cleaned it up a little bc I didn't like the previous version..
swift cobalt
I do like it's style
