FR/EN, indie game dev (I guess)
Made the game Puro Dunjon セドゥーラの約束 on https://void-viridian.itch.io/puro-dunjon !
Currently in limbo, work-wise, but will try to release at least a game this year 🤞
Working on games for the playdate handheld console

Currently reforging my prop system to be less generic, thus having to redo the map switching component
Also, I defined the core gameplay along the lines of "what was your sentence, and what can will you do about it"

I may have to consider a job that is far from where I live. I'm not deeply attached to the city I'm currently in, but having to move put a bit of psychological strain on me. If anything, it would be stupid to not do it. Still.
Stay safe, keep your psych healty

Switching map took some time: Setting a proper format editable in ogmo and usable in game
The whole thing is a bit sudden, so maybe a quick transition could be interesting
But at least, it seems to load & parse quickly, which is nice

*.drawSampled() is nice but hard when you want to draw 2d using 3d position
I may still use it somehow, but I'd rather have a good workflow with simpler, connected tilemaps and small dynamic elements/fx
Ogmo is still fun to parse

Playing with *.drawSampled(...), because it looks better, but still wary of the impact on fps
Ogmo for ground tilemap & some tricks for props
Also it'll be both a remake and a prequel
I hope I can add gameplay/lore in a compact shell

I'll try the mantra again, "make it before make it good"
Working on the sequences flow first is kinda good for me
I think I'll reuse most of the assets from the original one
It's a remake, not a remaster tho

#playdate keep crashing with bugs that won't appear in the simulator?
I don't trust performances when testing in the simulator
In fact, a real test should be on real hardware, obviously
Starting to think I should port Puro Dunjon and put this project on pc

All my games start small until I make them

If I was to describe the aesthetic of this game and games that look like this, I would say "post nostalgic" (or neo nostalgic), because I like it whenever I see it, but I regret it wasn't an actual memory from this old era
In short: So visually pleasing it's sad it wasn't done like this back then

Maybe a faster way for raycasting? Why not (irrational)
But json export of twine data, means direct use in engine (pragmatic)

Porting the sequences of the 1st part to twine grant so much clarity to the branches
I also made the end credits, so it can be done "once and for all" (what a joke): Fun to make
Part 1 is the vertical slice I must complete before going any further

Back to square 1: Problem is akin to CAP theorem
Data take too long to compute, you want to precompute
Doing so, means having data too big/complex to use (lookup speed), thus competing against initial compute speed
I won't even talk about size

After some tests, precomputed data will make some really fat files, the price for every outcomes
785% for the small 9x9 map
2650% for 16x16
I didn't check for 32x32, at 6Mo, it run below 10fps, why bother?
Linking small maps could be fine tho

Thinking about all the data that can be precomputed (not on actual hardware) : visibility from each position and angle, from each cell
Maybe bigger map can also be achieved
Still need to write part 2 and adjust bits of part 1

Grid based seems ok, even if there's fps drop to 30 upon moving/update
Next: a cheap line of sight function to further reduce the number of cells to draw and maybe camera frustrum
Still think it's the wrong way of doing it 🫠
Story part 2 is near

Anyway, I wish I land a job quickly only to not speak to this job center person ever again

When you write a grid based fps rendering system (ishaar) but it feel more complex than a static raycast one
I may dedicate tomorrow to pure writing, to compensate

My eyes are burning, but I did manage to write all of the 1st part
Of course, it's only about what the player will (be able to) do, but still, that obstacle is no more
If I can preserve that energy until the weekend, I may write it all in one go

Currently struggling to find the proper representation for a level
Most of the available options are not adequate and the good ones seems out of reach
I need to do more tests
I'll do more writing on the script
At least, getting some things done
