Understanable, luckily it's just one line of code to change this so there is no need to decide hastily.

The snowy season has already begun in #IsekaiTales 🌨❄🌨❄

Should I pause weather effects whem the menu/inventory is open? 🤔 To me this feels somehow wrong but maybe that is only me.

Sometimes it's the simple things. Here are two super simple functions I constantly use. They are really nothing special but I am really happy to have written them. :3

#GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

$function in_between(_value, _min, _max, _include = true) { if (_include) { return _value >= _min && _value <= _max; } return _value > _min && _value < _max; } function wrap(_value, _min, _max, _minInclude = false, _maxInclude = false, _maxDecrement = false) { if (_value > _max && _maxInclude == false) return _min; if (_value < _min && _minInclude == false) return _maxDecrement ? _max-1 : _max; if (_value >= _max && _maxInclude == true) return _min; if (_value <= _min && _minInclude == true) return _maxDecrement ? _max-1 : _max; return _value; }$

Massively expanded the debuging tools. That's gonna be super usefull now when shifting to adding the actual game.

Also savefiles now contain actual important stuff worth keeping track. :3

I completely rewrote my notification library Howl. Adding it to #IsekaiTales and voilà: Achievements can pop up. 🏆🍾🎆

Sure, we all love the god old show_debug_message("BUG") debugging but it's just REALLY helpfull to visualise stuff.

Ohja, gerade bei dem System wie in Tarkov wo das Inventar auch so aufgeteilt ist und du überlegen musst wo du was hintust und wie du was sortieren kannst um das effektiv zu machen ist, finde ich, unübertroffen. :D

I swear I don't have a problem... but here is yet another menu. This time it's a Tarkov style inventory with different sized items that can be rotated. Also the shape itself can be quite fragmented.

It's finally time to add more glyphs to my font. I can't promise anything but german/englisch is set in stone. My wish would be to also include spanisch/portuguese/japanese/chinese. Of course even more is always nice. 🌍🌎🌏

A different kind of round: radial/pie menu unlocked.

Don't think there is any other form of round shaped menu out there. At least none that I know of. 🤔

This is why I love programming:
Put a chest and the abillity to choose from last week into a blender and you got yourself a shop system. 💙

So now I need to edit the video but it looks like this is gonna be ~1h30m maybe even ~2h if I keep more of the basic explanations. 🤔 (And on top of that I don't know how to edit videos ^^''. This is gonna take a while.)

Initially didn't plan to implement this. It may not be used for a branching story but adding a little bit of characterization this way is nice. :D

Playing around with a ring menu. Really like those funky things. :3

Honestly would like to do a tutorial about this in GameMaker if only my introverted self wouldn't intervene constantly. 🤔
Well, on the bright side one third of the work is now done. :D

This week was more about background stuff like looking into Steam and how to get #IsekaiTales on there. 👀
All this still feels sureal to me. Thank you all for giving me the hope and encouragement. ♥

Here is space for some special collectibles. 👀

Decluttered the HUD a little bit and finished part 2. Now you can quickswap between 4 pairs of items. Just set them and swap to your heart's content. :3

From all the things I posted about #IsekaiTales so far, is there anything you would like to see a tutorial on in #GameMaker ? Or maybe something else as a tutorial?

No promises but I had this thought for a long time now. 🤔
