This is 8-bitBot: A programming puzzle game that I am working on and aiming to release in December.
There is much to do still, but it is coming nicely along so far.
Steam wishlisting: store.steampowered.com/app/3959370/...
Playable demo on my website (a bit outdated): quakatoo.com/projects/cod...

Profiling browser performance; it tanked a lot recently with all the stuff I added. I was quite ruthlessly ignorant about this, so there is no real surprise here. I am not great at optimizing this stuff, but it needs to be done 😫
And the rendering is also broken

Refined the snow rendering: Snow thickness can be defined per level tile, and the snow regenerates at a configurable rate.
Next: Adding snow plow mechanic + win condition for clearing an area.
BTW, you can play the demo on itch:

Today, I started adding the option to enable / disable snow for a level and defining the snow-fill amount for specific tiles. This is working in principle by now. I would like to allow snow to "refill", but that part is not working yet in a satisfying way.

Testing the snow coverage feature on browser, I am noticing that the arrow for the parking instruction explanation is ... looking interesting.
Oh, and the shadows are missing 🫠
On top of that, I need some management for controlling the snow in the editor.

Do you already have a present 🧑🎄? It is only a little more than a month away!
In other news, I managed to get tracks in the snow working 🥳
It just broke a few other systems, but I guess I can fix those 😅
I'm really happy how this is starting to look!

The biggest problem for me when writing shader stuff is figuring out why certain things just don't work at all. Once a connection is established, the rest is steady work and progress. Getting from the black snow to the cutout region version? TWO HOURS.

I got first feedback (that's not by me) for my game via the feedback system I wrote🥳
It is spam 🙄
on the upside: The feedback system is working.
If you want to try the game, here is the link: zet23t.itch.io/8-bitbot

Well.... it's a start. The next days I will look into generating snow coverage for the environment. Not sure, but I think I have an idea that might work.

The one upside of graphics programming is, that some errors have surprising and entertaining qualities. IDK what this is, but I suspect: Uninitialized render textures. Maybe.

Started working on a particle system. I plan it to be slow and primitive so I don't spend too much time on it. I have only a few select appliances in mind.

Every morning I wake my notebook up from suspend-to-disk, the fans go crazy. I learned that it is caused by particular browser tabs that spike CPU load.
Thinking about it, I wonder if there are browser extensions that autokill such tabs.

printf, you're my only hope
Because I can't get the debug utilities in browser running. At least I have a rough clue where things derail.

Testing web build.... what is going on 😱!?
Just a normal day, I guess.

Adding camera options to the level editor; Not great, not terrible. It allows to create more immersed level perspectives for levels with more decorations around the level boundaries.
