• Day #30 End of Jam
  April 30, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Finally here. The day it ends. I didn't work much on the game the last few days. A bit has to do with an university exam I have on monday for which I'm studying now. Another bit has to do with procras... Continue reading
• Day #27 House stuff
  April 27, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today was a late submission. I started dividing the house's sprites so I can add individual furniture with some interactivity later. For now I added functional doors, new collisions (with a few bugs),... Continue reading
• Day #26 House exterior and camera
  April 26, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today I realised at 8PM I hadn't worked on the game for the entire day and got around to drawing the exterior of the house. I also added the animation I wanted to be played on proximity to the house... Continue reading

  
• Day #25 Inventory re-texture
  April 25, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today I changed the textures for the inventory to match the dialogue's style. Mostly because I'm procrastinating, but also to see how it looks. I forget the minor changes but I did also tweak some cod... Continue reading

  
• Day #24 Minor updates
  April 24, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  The last two days weren't the best on progress. I tweaked minor things here and there. I started adding more furniture to the house on day 22 but had do other stuff, and I procrastinated with another... Continue reading
• Day #21 Finishing touches to dialogue
  April 21, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today I finished working out some bugs in the system, and added dialogue for all three NPCs. It's now as easy as creating the entry on the json file, adding a way to interact with the object, which I... Continue reading

  
• Day #20 Dialogue System
  April 20, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  I always wanted my own branching dialogue system where you could select different answers. I watched a few videos about how to do it, but never got around to it. Until today. I made a simple black box... Continue reading

  
• Day #19 House Interior
  April 19, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today I worked on the house interior, though it's not finished yet. I have to figure out a way to make the Y sorting work within the game as I intend it since now it only works in some cases. You walk... Continue reading

  #Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Yesterday was another day I couldn't submit anything, but this time had to do with issues with my computer and it was out of my control. I started working on the main tileset which I laid out a bit in... Continue reading

  
• Day #16 Owner basic animations
  April 16, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Yesterday was the first day I didn't work on the game so far into the jam. It was meant to be about the owner, instead released today. But I needed to rest from both university and the jam, so I'll al... Continue reading
• Day #14 Owner Setup
  April 14, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Similar to other days I ported the other AI's functionalities into the owner NPC. I envisioned him as an old dude on a bath robe on a whim. He's supposed to be a retired lonely guy. Today's devlog is... Continue reading
• Day #13 Guard animations and behaviour
  April 13, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today I made animations for the guard, and to go with it the behaviour tied to every action it'll have except for attacking the player. For the vertical slice I'm making this month I don't need overly... Continue reading
• Day #12 Guard setup
  April 12, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today I had very little time between an exam and babysitting my niece so I only had time to start implementing the guard NPC basing the code on the pet NPC. I spent some time drawing a sprite but no a... Continue reading
• Day #11 Cat Finite State Machine
  April 11, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Having worked on the base for pathfinding yesterday I worked on the Pet cat scene. First I drew a few animations I'd need for each state like idle, walking, sleeping, etc. Then I started coding the an... Continue reading
• Day #10 NPCs pathfinding
  April 10, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  This is the tenth day on a row working on my game while having 5 exams this past week and having studied for the past two weeks straight. So no regrets. Today I added the foundation to what is going t... Continue reading
• Day #9 Item Functionalities
  April 09, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  After introducing simple non-interactible items I worked on the actual functionality. They can change their data based on the parent node's name so I just have to give a name on spawning an item and i... Continue reading
• Day #8 Item Splitting and Items
  April 08, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  With today's work I'll say the inventory core functionality is done. It may change in the future though. I worked on item splitting, with a popup in which you'd input the amount to be split. I also ad... Continue reading
• Day #7 Item Stacking
  April 07, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  I was tight on time today and had a bug to fix. Basically, the inventory would save the player's data just fine on resetting the scene, but when you quit and enter again it was all messed up because o... Continue reading
• Day #6 Persistent Inventory
  April 06, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  I found new hope today. I couldn't for the longest time work out some bugs. But! It ended up being a matter of time. I currently have a bug with the web build where it doesn't save data to the player'... Continue reading
• Day #5 Drag&Drop
  April 05, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  I worked on drag&drop functionalities for the inventory. Now the lower slots are programmatically generated and can get them to hold items. You can move them around, and swap items. The equipment slot... Continue reading
• Day #4 Inventory UI
  April 04, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  A bit of a late night entry for today. I spent a few hours working on an inventory UI that's subject to change still. Not convinced about the colours but it's staying like this for now. Another thing... Continue reading
• Day #3 Health Stat
  April 03, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  Today, I started working on the take damage / give damage system, which only consists on areas that check if they intersect and act accordingly. To go with this, I added a health stat, and the ability... Continue reading
• Day #2 Noise system
  April 02, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#Crime, #Singleplayer, #Stealth

  For day two I worked on adding noise values to every action the player performs, and also added a hurtbox which will allow the player to take damage later on. I actually started planning the values to... Continue reading
• Day #1 Player Movement
  April 01, 2021 by GameDev_byHobby#day1, #movement, #tutorial

  Starting this Jam, I'm starting with player movement since I want a few different moves. I added sneaking, hiding, and sneak attacks as a core addition to the more simple running, rolling, etc. for an... Continue reading
