Devlog 8

Soo, this must be the final one, it’s 1am Stardance ends today, so chop chop.

What I did

• I made a menu
• added a few little explanations in game
• fixed a few little playability things here and there (e.g catapult controls)
• I uploaded everything nicely to itch.io

So, I’ll ship now, hope this comes out well, I am a little excited, thanks for reading and have a nice one

Devlog 7

Okay, didn’t really have time to devlog much ,here’s what I did

What I did

• worked on the new pathfinding, it kinda works now, just very very laggy, I have to put a lot more computation into this
• added an area around each player where they walk around so they dont run off to the edge of the map
• added a fun little catapult, from which you can shoot boulders at enemys (with custom blender model and particles)

##What I’ll do

• add a menu
• ship before stardance ends

Thanks for reading, I know this is quite a short devlog but these are complex features to implement, gotta sleep now, thanks for reading and have a nice one

Devlog 6

I coded basically all afternoon yesterday, game development is so fun!!!

What I did

• Make little pillars on the mouse, so the user knows where he’s pointing
• start work on new pathfinding
• made little squares that detect, if theres’s something in them for that (yay loading time)

What I’ll do next

• the complicated part of pathfinding :(
• Make the people walk around less stupidly

Anyway, hope Godot doesn’t crash while downloading GTA, so thanks for reading and Bye

Devlog 5

I havent’t devlogged in a long time as I was doing other stuff, but I’m back

What I made

• Improved the animations for the characters (IK yay)
• Added a spawn control node to place enemy spawners
• made wall animations better
• gave color to the base
• made improvements to the player spawner
• and a bit of stuff I did two months ago but basically forgot :)

What I’ll do next

• Improve the random walking
• make player interaction better
• lots of stuff

Anyways I’m back, hope to finish this before Stardance ends.
Thanks for reading, have a nice one

Devlog 4

I have now started to work on the gameplay and not
just on the tools for playing:
-I added an enemy spawner, where they spawn, get weapons and then run to attack the base
-A player spawner where you can spawn your minions
-And a weapon generator to give your people weapons to defend your base

Also i made a tool to create areas which i will give different functionalities but right now they just keep
the persons in so they have to fight at that spot

Next I’ll be working on giving the game some structure so it becomes more fun

Have a nice day

Devlog 3

I made some walls around the base to protect and did a little code restructuring
Also the walls crumble when the enemys attack them,
took me a while to figure out shape keys in blender and that they don’t like booleans but it works now
Have a nice day, Bye

Devlog 2

okay so, i worked on the looks today, I made a character model in blender, rigged it and made a simple walk cycle
Then i updated my project to godot 4.7 to use inverse kinematics
I played around with them a bit and now i have a character who can walk and hit others with the new custom made sword
Thats about it for today, have a nice one

Devlog 1

This is a game created in Godot.
I havent really decided what the final product should be, but here is what i have done so far
I have implemented minions walking around randomly
They can also go to designated spots using a self made pathfinding and follow the mouse
So far there are red and blue minions, when they meet they follow and damage each other
Right now the objective of the game is to steer the blue guys to defend your base from the red guys
I also implemented some fun stuff like inspecting the players and seeing their health and kills
That’s about all I’ve done so far
Thank you for reading, have a nice day
