Ivan

Just in case. I will put some demo vid here

added reame, project is nearly ready to be shipped. If somebody cares, this game was made in 2 days xd

Godlike feature, move with middle mouse button. You can move with keyboard if you want but man XD

Added start screen and dialogs (unfunny). Also some small changes all round :p

Towers got the drip XDD

So, gameplay is boring. Let's spice it a bit. Now all damage is typed and we have simple rock-paper-scissors system. Also yellow enemies are heavy, blue are light and green are normal. + fixed enemy movement so it is more more smooth and controllable now

All towers are here :D So there is stomper, sniper and tesla tower (sprite is placeholder lol). And of course money bank for cool guys and businessman XD Any way, added some polishing.

Added new tower, stomper. Also i finaly came back home so i will try to add more stuff in faster manner :p

Farm, sadly no sprite for now, it will appear soon

You can sell tower and upgrade them. Also added many minors patches as well as fixes

Made some adjustements. Spent most of time debuging and fixing logical + vizual bugs. Other than that implemented tower selling :D

Tower placement, selection circle, and that's it? Honestly i don't remember xd

Enemies, player health and money. This line animation shader :D

Had to make such digger, otherwise it would complicate user controll for tower placement + misslicks :p

Path is infinite now

You can build path now :D

17:07 Poland, start
11:07 EST time
Start :D
Made map generation, currently working on proper cursor

Okay, i lied last time. README :DD

By this point i have nothing else to add. Thanks everyone for attention :D I hope nothing will break XD

Generally it works, but i want to stylize it a bit

Implemented vector normolizing so you can change vector length now :D

Basic rotor settings, anyway still long way to end them

Trail, faids and grays with time

Remade everything to vanila's js canvas :DDD

Ok so... I discovered that three.JS isn't exactly what i need. reason is simple. I can't actually make trail in such way so it will fade with time nor change color over time.
So i need to another framework or drawing style at all :p But code of this thing i can remain in repo because why not?

Basic rotors rotation works :D

First time using three.js So lets greet the Mr. Cube :D

READMe, itch.io demo and everything is ready to be shipped :D.
Video is gameplay footage on good run XD

You can win now :D

Small changes. new turret : Shotgun :p

A lot of fixes and minor changes. Added more wave and new type of enemy, tank. Also i hope i won't burn someones pc with this game lol

You can adjust music volume now :D

Added smooth music transition :p

I am still in process with settings menu but... This is abomination of sh** code like seriosly, i am hyping over the fact that it is alive lol XDDD

Implemented crit damage (finaly), add more buttons and made pause menu

So.. I made this small transition, additional dialog window and decided that i am too lazy to design 2 separate game modes. So i will remain arcade with small introduction what is going on

I asked my friend to play and he said that game is very confusing at the start and you understand nothing what is going on. After that i got briliant idea XD. Make story and arcade mode. Arcade is the game itself why story is mostly tutorial. So i made first dialog (thanks dialogue engine) and i need to glue everything together somehow XD

Small ui fixes :p For some reason health and stats weren't refreshing xd

I usually won't put code into dev logs. But this is exeption. Before this moment level up upgrades were purely luck based. Thanks to Brotato (amazing game btw) level ups won't be so random and you can't win the whole game after first wave (yes it was possible)

Added wave composition. First wave will contain only basic enemies, second only fast with increased spawn rate, third will test player build and fourth introduses heavy enemies and etc..

Added restart

Main problem right now is game balance. It is aswfull. Game is either too dificult or to easy. So.. The way to solve i see is to add more mechanics in order to balance things between themselves XD

simple input fields

Character select

I was doing playtest new item as well as some changes and then this happened... It isn't bug or smth but it was a very funny coincidence. Probably i should nerf shop and money in general lol

Many minor changes + improved shop look. anyway shop is still wip

Air strikes!!!! :eagle::eagle::eagle::eagle::eagle::eagle:
P.S gameplay will change on release XDD

Spent quite a while profiling just to realize that i forgot to remove bullets when they are to far away....

Mini turrets :D I think i will make more items with them. Right now they go in pack 3 for 1 XDDD

New turret :D Snowflake

You can buy and reroll stuff in shop now :p

It took quite a while to understand why tooltip hadn't work (mouse_filter) but now we have a new crypto-currency. Pacs :DDD

Added first turret item :D It shoots with you and deals half of your damage

lol, i am happy that i found this bug rn and not later XD

added hp and xp bar

I was translating and glueling stuff.. Also when you level up your stats can have rarity modifier :p (basic,rare,epic,legendary) which will increase stats from them. Also, once again if someone knows how to solve problems with scenes that if they mutually dependent you can't assign into fields please dm me XD

Still translating.. New enemy type, ultra slow (penthagon one) :DD

Still translating... But to add at least something made this shoot direction on main tower :DDD

I am in process of project rewriting on new frame... Meanwhile made this main menu :D It is more or less responsible, i though that it would be a nice feature :p

Okay, now i understood everything. func init() is called before everything, LITERALLY, so inits before resource in game get acces to exported variabels. if you need smth similar you need to implement ready() by yourself. It makes sens, but now i feel so dumb TwT

So.. I was implementing one feature when i once again encountered bug. I tried to implement simple version in test project and it.. worked... So i need to wrerite my project to make it work... Damn ://

Shop is switchable now :p..
fun fact, today i have drank much more tea than water, lol

Shop reroll works :p Obviosly i need to remake shop. Why window is so small? I made it 700x700 for hackclubers who won't have 1920x1080 or bigger. Ig most will have 1020x720 on their laptops so... I just want to :pray: for their souls to get better gear to stop their suffering

More enemy types :p Also added money (left top corner) :D

I though that background is a bit empty.. Now space won't mean literally space XD Accidental setting change :DDD

You can lose now! Also some graphic adjustments :p Why it took so long? My whole codebase is mess :/ Why it is mess? first : skill issue, second : gdscript instead of C# why? No web export for C# :///

You can gain skills via leveling up :D
-- Warning crying text --
I have spent most of time realising that i can't do nested resources as i would do in unity. Godot tries to do circular dependecy magic resolve and it ends up in nulls. So i simplified process and i am going to do it another way :p

You can gain skillpoints and spend them now :D! (sadly it does nothing now)

Spent quite a while on lvling base system and scene swithing

Made basics of stat system... Why it took so long? I wanted to automize enums and some other aspects just so i won't write milions classes or smth like that (evil ig?)

Fun fact, godot _init() is funny and cursed

Made some silly mistakes which i could avoid. Other than that Basic mechanic is done

Spent a lot of time trying to find how to make multiple cmake export binaries. Sadly i couldn't wrap my head around it so... I am to lazy and only linux executable is avaible. And demos in README

Backculling and finally fixed perspective from isometric to one point

Tip № 1 : Never use non standard math lib. I spent a lot of time just to discover mistype in vector subtraction, lol

3 faced pyramid is here :p as well as some other simple shapes

IT TOOK A LONG TIME BUT FINALLY, CUBE WORKS XDD Also don't ask why this is isometry :3

There are color and multiple rulesets now :p Also some optimizations :D

Tbh text output has it own vibe but... It is inacurate for mouse input + it is eye painfull... So sadly but i had to translate the whole project to canvas :///

More functions :D Now you can change speed, draw by yourself, add new ants, reset board,kill ants and reset all :P

Both ** and ^ should work as intended. Thanks god gdscript is similar to python. -10*2 is -100 and (-10)2 is 100 so if we put parents around all x instances it should work fine :p

Updated README and added Q&A menu

Ant is alive :DDDD

It took a while to reorganize code but it is more easy to use now :p Also you can place things on board now :p

Test display is ready :p

Some final cuts and game is ready to be shipped :p Thanks for your attention :DD

I addded win screen and level progression (i hope it won't break in build)

Changed background... Why it took so long? I though to add by hand or script just to realize that godot has in built rendering: Default Clear Color :p

SFX for buttons and approperiate settings for them :p

Chill music :DDD

More levels :D also some bug fixes :p

Wind effect :DD

transitions and fixed restarts

Had a lot of hopes that this time menu will work as intended... well... nope... It took a lot of time to make it more easy to use but it ended up into spaghetti code... But hey it works :DDDD

Spent a plenty of time searching modifying and testing this exit setup :p may change confetti particles in future

Everything is ready to ship! All game version are on itch.io and git repository is done! thanks for reading this kinda meh story XD

All level optimized to reload faster :p Also cause of that code became more errorproof :D

Optimized restarts... ehh.. it was long one XDDD Honestly i thought that my project more or less orginized, but... I discovered a lot of holes both in my code and unity XDDDD

After sine testing and bugs (ofc) i figured out that the restart method shown in video is more or less ok :p It restarts level automatically.. But you can press 'r' key faster if you want XD

I think photo will explain what happend in last 2 hours. I will give shader (ToonyShader.shader) where i tried my best but shaders won lol XD

Some more graphic cuts + vysnc toggle

Fixed bug from last post :D Also removed some graphics so it is more optimized :p But i guess it can be pushed further

So... After long time of researches testing and etc. i fixed that when fps goes down enemies slows down ( for some reason nav mesh is fps dependent or smth is wrong). It would be ok, but on higher fps it speeds up XD

Now you can win :D. Also previous collision removes on redraw. Also some little optimizations :D

Function can change now :DD

Initial setup for functions! It works but now comes hard part, how to correctly parse equasion :p

Music Slider

New Level. It is going to be tough

The pain your pc is going to expirience is huge lol. Also found some free to use music so here we go :D (i forgot to turn on music in obs...)

Fixed restart button and started making a new level

So... I spent 2 days creating this level :/ It wasn't intentional and time honestly felt much so much longer... I feel tired to this project and i think that's it. I want to end asap. If time looks cursed because it is. It took me half an hour implement and patch simple directional turrets (you can see them in video) and around same time to implement simple jump pads... I think i will make a level or two and that's it. I am sorry for such long reading and such eh... time stretching ig but it wasn't intentional there i am so sorry for that

New level, turrets and fixes

First level is done! It is very simple and short but next one should be more interesting (i hope so)

Triggers and enemy spawners. Minor changes. Still making first level...

When I started creating first level i caught myself that something is wrong... And then i added FOV slider :DD

You will call it bad ui. I will call it bug fix XD

Simple main menu and some minor changes in movement

So... Quake movement :D It took a lot of time but it works now!

Added DotWeen and death animation :pp

You can change game resolution... Sadly i am too lazy to make 'are u sure' cheks rn :p

Fullscreen and windowed works.

You can change mouse sensitivity now :D

Fixed. Menu works correctly now

So... Ui toolkit is good but i am dumb :p. Also Pause Menu works :DD

Trail appears and disappears on thrown objects :D

Tutorial

Fast boi is chasing you :D

You can charge your throw!

minor changes. Found this model with nice animation :D

You can kill enemies with direct hit

You can throw items now :D

Basic movement setup. Spent most time on fact that raycast collides with object where it starts

Hm... Honestly, godot's 3D is pretty... tough for me, i will use unity for 3d and godot for 2d. Sounds ok :D

Made wall jump... I think it won't stay but we will see :p

Outline shader is pain...

basic movement is done :D

Little clarification in tutorial, game build is ready and readme is written. So it is time to ship :D

Forgot to mention, tutorial, menuses, this mini story, better random, repo clean up and things which i forgot about XD

Guess where is meme copy paste and where is sis's drawing TxT

You can lose now :p

So... It took way longer that should TxT I tried a few shader combinations, a few sprite combinations.. And the best one was this...

Damage effect!

VFX for select actions :D

Hammer goes BONK!

it took way longer that i expected to create strip lines on drill itself...

Temporal background :D (or permament?)

enemies and some more graphics :D changed folder name so time goes funny XD

First time using p5js :D

More graphics :D also all kind of stats are working correctly now!

Most of time ate code refactor and this 'throw animation' :D

ultra-alpha v -0.1. some meters and item reroll when you try to use item

README :D

Little changes. Also i think game is ready to ship..

Last thing for today.. Restart :D

Health, hyper meter particles, sounds! Only sad moment that i dunno how to make music... Sound are more or less findable but music...

items can appear from sides now! Also some changes which i forgot to memorize TxT

Play thing, slow motion, some more juice :D

Combo, screen shake on miss

Difficulty progression, and 2 types of things to pop :D

Core mechanic works :D Also here are some confeti

Well, detection works after second try :D

Intersection detection works... i guess XD honestly i had to scrap a lot of things to finally understand how to make such

More content :D

Levels, win condition and some small changes :p

Spent too much time on this menu animation :p

There is score now and proper interactions between buildings to achive more score :D

Small beatifies

You can remove buildings now :D, also small boundary check :p

Fixed grid and mouse change color now :3

Buldings can see each other now... This code is cursed and won't work for game... So... it is time to throw all this stuff into trash bin ans start from zero using graphs or boring grid :p

Now you can use different building! It took to long to fix :p

Camera moves and i finally found how responsive gui works :DDD

First placing system :p Also Godot is... Very interesting tbh :DD

Cursour snap works :D .This if first time i use godot and it was... Interesting... Idk if i like it more than unity, by now it is ok

Restart Screen with slow motion

More upgrades, and stats meters as well as score meter is working now!

Animations and very short tutorial. I used DOTween but i am sure coroutines would be ok as well if you really want :p

Boon system, a little raw but everything is ahead! Also I just want to end this already...

Wave spawn, minor changes and fixes

Restart fix, sfx and vfx, new enemy type

More enemy types!

First enemy, a square which time to time selects player pos and goes to it! Also made fire toggable

So... This is my second try of doing this game. I had a long break and when i returned i didn't like project at all. So this time i will try make it better. At this moment i made basic movement and shooting

I guess it is :p Added small story and music

You can win now and camera has this tilt effect. More cards!. There is some more polishing but many to go :D

Some improvements :D. Made vfx and sfx as well as improved overall game look. Now it is time to add more content and polish everything once again...

So um... First prototype i guess :D. I need more card images, more explanation in UI and general polishing. Other than that main part of the game is working!

IT IS CUBE GAMING XDDD So... After last devlog i brok something and nothing worked :p And after some fixes with floats it works! Now we have wire cube which reacts which we can scale... Now it is time to implement rotation and moving :D

So um... Currently we assume that camera is always at {0,0} and because of that we can use uv formula :D Of course we won't see it but this polygon is pure 3d XD

Spent a lot of time trying to undestand cmake just to realize that i won't use the way it was intended TxT. Also here is the first feature, line drawing :DDD

Game is ready to be shipped :p. It ain't much, but it's honest work :D

Improved loading speed (async loading) and general performance optimization

Death Collider finally works :D

FPS counter, Dash Charger. A lot, like really a lot of code changes...

Fade In, Fade Out effect

Made dash system more flexible and animated. The only problem that idk how to make this steam in cone shape. Steam should show can you dash or no... I hope it looks like that

Dash... Or rather teleport. Anyway this is prototype and it needs to be polished :p

Basic movement and small levitate shader

Warning screen on start. Small tweaks. Spent a lot of time on chessboard shader... I didn't like it but found a solution where i should use it :DD

Lightning shader for accumulator

Radar wave shader

Control is now via C# events. Also turned off HDPR and now perfomance is twice as fast.

Minor camera changes. Twiks to buttons

Some polishing and gameplay change. Bunch of levels with tutorial included. Most of the time i spent on this exit shader... But i am happy with it :DDD

Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV
I'm black, then I'm white

Basic Movement

Main menu, win screen, some minor changes. It is over... Sadly or happily i am tired of this boring game and i hope next time i will plan game much better to spent less time developing and make it more enjoyable

Restart bugs fixed. Invoke() in Unity is evil. Sometimes it breaks on restarts and object destructions, in cases where it breaks things you are forced to use IEnumerator or any replacement :p. Also spent a lot of time trying different lighthing waves forms and settled on this one [video]

Beatifies, lose condition, speaker, fixes

Black outs, items to hold, generator refuel, code refactoring, limited color palette

Fixed nasty bag with modules turn on/off. Simple switchState function was enough.

Click >:D

Footsteps, first layout of facility

After some debug now there is proper heat, power and module (equipment) system

If you have problems with entry point registration in Vcontainer. You should try this :p

Spent most of time prototyping testing (often scrapping) and wrapping head around VContainer, UI toolkit and other stuff :p
