i was thinking some more about my game and the story i would like to tell with it, and i think that gobie (red panda character) is going to be the companion to the playable character. the playable character will be more customizable but gobie will still have skillsets that can be added to and changed in certain ways. id like for those skillsets and how they're changed to affect the gameplay, but im not sure how im going to do that yet.

so the main character in my game is going to be a black bear and their npc partner is going to be a chinese red panda. i dont want to spoil my own game too much but you'll see why that's important posthaste

suffering currently with Having To Practice Designing and Animating Sprites For A Video Game That I'm Doing For Fun And Literally No One Is Making Me Do It But Why Is It Such A Chore disease

so something ive been thinking about as ive been fleshing out the story of my game is the world it's set in. obvs im doing 4 playable areas based on the four main mountain ranges in the united states. but i dont really want there to be any evidence of humans. so im going to tweak the history of the country a bit and we're going in the direction of an animal society

good news! im getting to the stage in fleshing out the story that i think pretty soon ill be able to start working on the unity sprites for the characters, enemies, items, etc.

trying to be as productive as possible and break each step down to literal micro goals in order to create the game that i actually want to create instead of compromising. and boy is there a shit ton of work to do. it feels right now like no one is ever going to get to play this game lmao
