It's my very greatest pleasure to announce the project I've been working on the past year: Tascots! The Make-Your-Own Desktop Pet Game!
Say hello to our little queen, Button the Mouse.

Since I don't have anything visually interesting, I figured I'd talk about the particulars of the latest overhaul of the Tascot's behavior scripting, and the setup I created to handle motives and the multiple steps their programming has to take to achieve their goals! #godot #tascots 🧵

A lot of my focus for TascotMaker2 is designed around exteremely casual and even shitpost-style usage.
If you want to make a professional Tascot in earnest, the features are there!
If you want to shift-drag a bunch of random jerma pngs into the editor, you can do that too!

Not every game Idea I have is user-creation driven, but Tascots means something significant to me as an artist-turned-gamedev.
Art is the single greatest thing that humanity can participate in, and I wanted to make something that inspires people to engage with it, even just a little bit.

Absolutely. Bringing a complex thing like a video game to life requires planning, tenacity, creativity and vision.
Gamedev is a form of artistic expression, they are the result of countless individual choices that the developer makes based on their experiences and inspirations.

TascotMaker2 is also much more flexible with sprite requirements! You can upload sprites within a range of 400x400 to 40x40.
You can adjust your Tascot's hitbox to match your sprites, set a global offset for all sprites or even adjust individual sprite offsets!

The second version of the TascotMaker is coming along nicely!
Adding little details like warning the user if they've already added a tag or forcing the user to hear their keystrokes even if they have a silent keyboard (you're welcome)

We here at Tascots believe in a new, novel concept called "Deshittification". We use this philosophy to do things like upgrading menus with useful, intuitive features and helpful quality-of-life improvements!
(Version 2 of the TascotMaker is getting a lot of neat upgrades!)
