Virtual Pet

DEVLOG: #1

starting it!

this is my FIRST devlog for this project, which has been so fun so far! currently, this is what ive done:

• run animation
• bounce off edge
• draggable
• sometimes stops for an idle at edge

throughout making this, i struggled with the idle animation a LOT because i could not remove the background of it, and i dont want a cat with a white background idling out of nowhere.

for now, i have no idle animation, but i am going to fix it soon once i figure out how to remove the bg without making it look ugly.

i also had an issue where my cat would not actually run, it’d just stay stuck. it took me too long to figure out that i just had the animations named differently, Walk_Right in code but Run in the actual animation itself.

overall, i think this is going great! also, creds to tuff carysaurus for making these sprites! if you want these, you can find the free version at: https://carysaurus.itch.io/black-cat-sprites
