Just a silly little Kobold trying to make games.
I'm a bit disappointed but I'm going to put this here again which was what I had a month ago. It lets me see for myself that progress is being made. Thanks again for checking in, and have a great weekend.

Sadly I couldn't finish ironing it out before my self-imposed deadline so this is the current state of KoboGame. It's so close to working, but I'm struggling a bit with the facing direction, and not having the actions clash.

I had a lot of fun working on this and trying to get it right. We had some silliness like my jump impulse being a magnitude too large (Read Kobold flew into the air the first time I tried to jump, and wouldn't reach the ground until I got bored). I also didn't clear my buffer properly seen here.

We have cute little dust clouds now! I can probably refine them, but again later.

I'm doing it in a slightly more complicated way than needed so that I can program my enemies to simply try to input actions much like the player. Complexity now for simplicity later.

This week was me learning how particle effects work, and getting my code to cause the character to move. I was so close to the latter working properly.

Thanks for checking in this week. Next week I hope I can really show the bulk of what I have been working on. Until then!

Most of the week was spent designing my code in a way to allow easy changes, reuse of methods, and error handling. Here's a couple code snippets of what I've done. All these print() functions will be moved into a log component when I get to testing with others.

And finally I have started working on the code and getting him moving in Godot. I have a decent chunk of my movement code done, but not enough to show. Here's a couple teasers though.

Otherwise I have created Kobo's (name pending) first weapon! He'll be going clubbing soon.

You know this is an odd feeling. This is the first time I have ever felt too excited to sleep because I wanted to go to work! I had a giddy moment on Wednesday night thinking about all the stuff I wanted to do.

Also apparently one night I woke up at 1am and messaged a number of friends this: "Help its 1am and im awake because I'm dreaming about kobogame and had an idea about jet powered dual blades to move gears that I needed to write sown." Including the typo of course. So I'll write it down here too.

My week started on Saturday night when I randomly decided at 11pm that I really really needed to make a snake. My brain simply made me drop what I was doing, and wouldn't let me stop. So I made one in blender, or at least the base of one. No idea what the heck I'll be doing with it though.

This week was an odd one again, life seems to be conspiring to avoid letting me focus. We had another contractor, and two separate days of babysitting. I still have some stuff to show you though. The good stuff however will have to wait until next Friday.

That's all for this week! I've got a lot to do and a lot to learn, but I hope it was enjoyable to read!

They're all functional in Godot as well. Although I haven't quite figured out how to get his texture working.

And finally run! Just like his favorite anime.

He can now do Squats!

Finally I made some basic animations for him. They're not great but a lot of my time was spent fighting with Blender, and learning how to do them. But they're good enough for placeholder.

The next step was that I rigged him. He now has a skeleton that he doesn't leave behind!

The last thing I did was with our Kobuddy. I made some small changes to the headshape but told myself I needed to stop and do some other stuff. He also has a funny tail now.
