Residuum: Dark Puzzle/Story Game || Making My First Game

[winter robin]

Took me actually the entire day to program in the character controller and hook up the animations :')
Just started learning C# about 10 days ago. So far, the animator is actually making the most sense out of anything haha

OH YEAH- background isnt mine, was free from asset store (placeholder). I drew the character tho B)

Wow, looks really great! I love the animation on your character, it looks really great.

I don’t know how much this would apply to you but when I was first learning the animator I was super confused managing it and using parameters and tons of transitions, but then I learned there’s some methods that make it easier.

Using the animator.Play() and animator.CrossFade() methods were SUPER helpful for making things simpler. Play just plays the animation, and cross fade has a bit of time for the animation to transition. Now I only really need to use transitions for the more important stuff.

You probably already know about that stuff, but there’s no harm in mentioning it I guess 🙂

Just assume I know nothing I am a complete beginner bottomfeeding off internet tutorials. Thank you, I'll look into those! :D

For today's progress, I drew this inside-of-dumpster home set up with box colliders

[winter robin]

Okay, for today's progress I STARTED trying to make an interaction system where objects close enough to the player show a white outline. Now my issue is trying to remove said outline when she walks away form it haha

The debug statements of "Player has interacted with {lantern}" work though >:)

Smaller fix from today was removing the weird input delay on the controls (was transition time from the animations)

I think it would look cleaner to use blend trees

[winter robin]

I'll look into that

Update: Got the interaction system working! Now I just need to disable character movement while dialogue is happening and also... yknow... be able to end the dialogue

[winter robin]

starting on some other scenes

[tardy roost]

The art looks really cool, love the style

[winter robin]

Progress tying the scenes together

[winter robin]

Got the scenes to connect to each other in-game and getting dialogue boxes to work more reliably :)

first devlog up :)

[winter robin]

made a couple more NPCs and doing some work on the church scenes + garden

[winter robin]

Opened music software for the first time in my life and ATTEMPTED a first-pass at the ambient music in the church area. I wanna keep most of the music relatively simple since the player can use their mp3 player to overlay melodies on top of the normal themes (gonna make it longer and loopable tho ofc)
