damage over time, baby

I did something yesterday too but forgot to upload, what a shame

This is really fun :D

Setting up colliders takes way too long

Heh, I'm still top of the leaderboard :D

anyho, here is a moving character without collission because custom physics shapes are broken in 2022.3.5f1

I began an new project, this time 3D with hex tiles.
Working on pathfinding right now, works ok, I guess

I am now the unquestioned leader of the gamedev streak!
Kneel before me! /maniacal laughter

Anyhow, it is now possible to take out items of containers :)

So today I spent only some time with cleaning up my code for the inventory UI system. I removed a lot of redundancies, so there is no visual change so there is no gif or screenshot, but: there are changes!

Cleaning up is so satisfactory, I should do it in my flat more often xD

see them here:

I was already in bed when I remembered that I hadn't done gamedeving today. I thought maybe I could let it slide, but I couldn't. Then I wanted to fake an entry but I couldn't do that either, so I decided to actually do some work! I didn't feel like pixeling so I thought why not spend half an hour on selecting container slots - and it was pretty easy to get the system up and running.

I have an idea for tomorrow to make it even slicker :)

Flu is really taking a toll on me, but I pixeled a distill, hurray

Yesterday I came down with the flu - and it came down hard. But still I managed to squeeze in half an hour of gamedeving.

Container Selector now gets properly resized and if you selected one container you cannot scroll through others, yay.

https://github.com/Papiertig0r/Alchemy/commit/d259bcda0e67e03e4d8fe1e4d90936ac65ed653f

I added a list of active ui elements. inventory uis now register with that ui and you can switch between active ui elements with RB and LB. Soon you can take things out of a container or put them back :D

I really really really should rework the inventory and inventory ui system - sooner or later it will crash on me if I don't

anyhow, container can now be prefilled with items and these get displayed, yay!

I decided to rework UI and inventory systems before spending any more time with containers (it is just so cumbersome to agonize over so shitty code xD)

At a later point I want to link the infos you are shown to how much of the effect you know. At stage one it will only show "?". At stage two it will show the name of the effect. At concurrent stages there will be more info available up until the last stage where you can see all the info.

I didn't have much room today (pardon the pun) for gamedeving so I only added two poison mushrooms. That helped testing inventory submenu ui and the poisonous effect :)

I pixeled them myself! Not the best work ever but nothing to be ashamed of :)

I need to change some of the properties AND:
note to self: sort effect list after buffs (apply buffs to max properties first, then every other).
if you'd have a "increase maximum health" and an "restore health" effect on an item in inverse order, you'd first restore health and then increase maximum health, which I find stupid.

I begun implementing container.
For that I had to refactor inventory and inventory UI system and I have to say:
I am not displeased. (Also, I'm watching a lot of Silicon Valley, love Peter Gregory :D )

The container UI has an item pool for the item slots, which is very neat (only if a new container has more slots than any previously container, new ones will be generated. If there are less slots, inactive ones will be deactivated)

My inventory submenu now gets positioned atop the current selected slot :)
easy

I finally implemented (or better yet connected) mixing ingredients over UI.

Also I fixed some bugs and annoyances, now I want to refine the mixing process based on a few rules:
-a solid and a powder don't mix
-if one of the items is a solid, the depiction of the other ingredient should be used

Now with actual consuming!

Today I implemented some string conversions for a later stage and then finally some connection between UI and logic. The result is, you can now consume items from within the inventory!

I should really implement mixing xD
also, I want the submenu to be shown on the item slot it is called upon, that shouldn't be too hard.

https://github.com/Papiertig0r/Alchemy/commit/59c40642e9dc00f05b94b7c8385801c3600049a9

I'm not proud of today, I got way less done that I could have but hey, that's shitty architecture xD

Now you can grey stuff out, if it is not compatible with the ingredient you want to mix it with.

I now need to connect the mixing logic with the actual mixing ui. Then I need to abstract it to be able to use the same system with e.g. applying poison to a blade or buffs to an armor.

As you can see from the gif, I ain't no world and level designer, but this mockup will do its job.

I added some colliders to the scene, so you can't walk over everything, but then I had to switch to rigidbody movement in order to use these collision detections.
There are some major glitches, but I think I will get them in time (I fixed a bug today where you couldn't pick anything up if you walked over a tool - this is a con of a state machine: if you fuck up states, everything is fucked up)

Working in Unity is easy and comfortable, but I hope more features will be added over time. Also, someone should add a designer to my project :D

Changy changy changes:
https://github.com/Papiertig0r/Alchemy/commit/a97cb7f3d9c5ff751ea2ad907eca8f78a332c378

I didn't really have time today so I just made some visual changes. I tried the unity tilemap and it's gorgeous!

Art comes from opengameart.org

I have to find out how to add colliders so it feels more plastic, right now you can just walk over anything. I hope there comes an update where you can define colliders per tile that get painted together with the tiles.
