June 14 Update

 I was busy for a week or so but I've returned and have been working on a bunch more 3d models. I think for the first floor almost all the models are complete. The idea is to be able to reuse many of these models though.

March 31 Update - Optimizations

Image
I added a script that would save all enemy positions and added interactable object support to my collider script (which was just looking for any object with Armature in the name and replacing it with the specific tscn file). I generalized how I was loading enemies as well. I took another dive into optimization and all I could find was it was almost all physics related. I'm already using Godot Jolt which gives a bit of improvement, and using spheres for enemy colliders. But the biggest factor was reducing the number physics steps per frame. I still have to test how this is going to affect the raycasts, but it was all move_and_slide's issue.  I also started modeling the gatherer. My thought processes on this one was it wouldn't make any noise, aside from dragging its sack since it has no mouth and it has copious numbers of eyestalks since its purpose is to find food but not for itself. in progress

Nov 6 Update - random attack experimentation

Image
 I added the ability for Sera to choose a random attack out of a category of attacks. This was great for her counterattacks. Its not so easy to bait her into an attack and get the timing exactly right when there's two different attacks with different openings. Also longer range attacks with wider horizontal range is really nice as well, just makes her challenging. She also has some extra medium range attacks and a different counter attack now for more annoyance. Also the block was slightly bugged earlier, now it fully works so she blocks all the time except during vulnerable windows. In addition, a successful dash counterattack results in a full combo on the player so she shreds hp quicker. In the video below you can see how the same trick (homing dash that gives a bit of invincibility that's broken against the dash counterattack) doesn't work the same since the window of vulnerability is at a different time. The homing dash has to be used a bit later so the player doesn...

Nov 11 Update

I could not update for a while, but I am back with a massive update. The map has been reworked to have less rooms so I could really focus on the few puzzles the first floor has. Most puzzles are finished except the last one. Tons of bugs fixed. User friendly stuff like ammo count has been added - this isn't a survival horror though it takes some influence from that genre. I got the chance to have some playtesters try out the game (thank you very much to them!) and have added some of their suggestions to the game - will be adding more if I have more time before the YuriJam deadline. Bugs that were found by the playtesters were also fixed. More environment models and another entity has been added. Bunch of flavor text for random objects so it feels a bit more like the classic rpgmaker horror games which I've always liked. I'm still tweaking the writing since there's a lot of it I don't quite like. There's also some music and sound effects, but I feel like some of ...
