Digi's Dev (B)log

First chat portrait!!! I'm inspired by the chat portraits from Battle Network. It took me a few tries but I'm happy about where I landed!

I don't have any footage this time, but progress has been made! I squashed some bugs with multi-enemy encounters and added functional defeat and victory screens.

So far so good on the battle system, it's not done, but the hardest part is! Progress will definitely slow down again now that I'm returning to work, but I don't think it'll be *terribly* slow.

First: Thank you for your interest in Severed Sentiment! It means a lot!

Now to answer your question: personally I don't have any experience with the Android version of Godot. I do know that with the 4.7 release for Godot that they have made improvements to developing on Android!

I can really only offer general advice: A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse should make developing on a mobile device much easier! If Bluetooth isn't an option you may also be able to get a usb-c hub to connect a standard keyboard and mouse to your device.

AND WE GOT MULTIPLE ENEMIES BABYYYYYYY!!!

This took me literally all day but now there can be up to 3 enemies at once!

I learned how to use Path2d in Godot! So now I'm no longer in panic mode about how to make enemy go brr.

I had fun with the smear frames on this one! Some of the movement for these animations will be handled in-engine though, like floating up and down for the idle animation!

I figure if things go well and I can make the project that I really want to, it'll take years so most people won't remember this. Enjoy my lil sketch!

This is where the Battle Network influence really shows through! The plan is that some attack patterns will split Amelia's side into a grid for her to dodge, while others will be more like Mario & Luigi style attacks where you counter via an action.

The move was successful, and I spent the last week getting some work done on Severed Sentiment!!

This time around I mostly worked on Battle Sprites, and it was actually my first time doing a proper full body design of Amelia.

Here she is, as well as the first tutorial enemy!

I've been getting little bits of work done on Severed Sentiment, but nothing very substantial for now.

Part of the reason is that I found an apartment!! It's affordable (for me) and I'll finally have my own space and not have to worry about my current living situation with family! (Yay!)

Unfortunately this also means that I'm spending a lot of time cleaning and preparing for the move, so I'm spending less time on Severed Sentiment at the moment. (Boo!)
