Bananify is a fun and gamified Pomodoro timer designed to make studying feel more fun! Instead of being a simple timer, users can earn bananas by completing focus sessions and staying productive. These bananas can be spent on unlocking new backgrounds, music tracks, and accessories for the monkey companion. The goal is to merge time management with progression and rewards, making studying more fun.
What I did: Added screen states (loading, timer, and shop screen). The loading screen loads all of the music while loading so that when the user switches music tracks there isn’t a delay. It basically lasts 5 seconds and loads everything in that time. Took a bit because I had to make the loading system load a song every frame and I had to deal with strings (which I don’t like at all).
What’s next: Now I have to add the banana currency system. I probably will make it so that you earn bananas every 5 minutes and you gain a lot when completing a full session. After that I have to add the stuff to buy in the shop (new music, accessories, etc.) which will take a lot of time because adding button hitboxes is annoying.
I’ve added the Pomodoro timer (took me wayyyy to long to implement), custom cursor, animated monkey, and a music system. I didn’t test the breaks and stuff but I’ll do that when I’m done with everything else. I have to now add a banana currency which you get when you finish one part of the timer, but I have to decide what you can buy with the bananas. Also when switching through the music there’s a delay for like a second because it’s loading the music every time. I’ll have to add a loading screen to load it before so that the music switching is smooth.
