#Devtober Day 7 Like the collectable flowers, the tree stumps are all randomized too. May is very opinionated when it comes to tree stumps, lol. But they're also fairly reasonable opinions. #gamedev #indiedev #MayGame

The protagonist of my game uses a tree stump as a bed. This was revealed earlier. If you find another tree stump... She'll comment on whether it would make a good bed or not. They're all different! Try to find them all! Will any of them measure up? #MayGame #indiegame #cozygame

#Devtober Day 6 This may not look like much, but... - Bobbing hand cursor - Selecting different tabs using cursor AND dedicated buttons - Selected tabs are highlighted - 18x12-sized overworld map showing visited areas. - Current location is marked. Tomorrow I'll show another sidequest. #MayGame

#Devtober Day 5 Added menu transitions. Similar to map transitions but *different*. 🙃 This time, the menu transitions are more flexible than before. Any transition can work for any menu (or minigame). May's map-opening animation is back too. And it looks nice in tall grass. ^^ #MayGame #gamedev

The Four Swords manga was a fun read! The main focus was on the interplay between the four--er, five--Links' personalities. For both character development and comic relief. And I think that was a good call. Four Swords Adventures wasn't plot heavy so it's nice to see. #Zelda #FourSwords

The most surprising things about the Four Swords manga so far: 1. We get to meet Link's dad! 2. The Links' personalities are different from most fan portrayals 3. Link talks. 🙌 4. All four Links talk. 5. They have MORE dialogue than ALL OTHER CHARACTERS combined. 😂 #Zelda #FourSwords

The cover art for The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords manga: Legendary Edition. A brown book with triforce symbols in the corners. With "story and art by Akira Himekawa". In the middle are the four Links' standing together: Green, blue, red, and purple.

#Devtober Day 4 Only one menu can be processed per frame now. This should make it impossible for any single button press to be counted twice when moving to a new menu. A menu switch can be queued any time, but is not performed until the very end of the frame. #MayGame #gamedev

Output from a command prompt. Each line shows a frame number, and the current menu type for that frame. There is one line per frame, except frame #112, which has two more lines indicating a menu transition was queued, and then performed.

For example, pressing Start enters a menu. But that same menu also detects Start being pressed, and immediately closes itself. 🫠 This is because Godot will process each node each frame, even a menu that was just added. I must find a way to limit input handling to at most one menu per frame.

#Devtober Day 3 is another Developer Diary. ^^ I also improved the input code from yesterday and set up the game to start using it for actions. I also began working in a menu subsystem.The pre-refactor version had a tendency to double-count button presses, so I'm working on a way to eliminate that

Hello everyone! It's been two months, so it's time for another Developer Diary! I talk about work on the game's world, several subsystems that have been overhauled, and what's next! store.steampowered.com/news/app/373... #MayGame #gamedev #WishlistWednesday

#Devtober Day 2 I prototyped a way to deal with confirm/cancel actions from Nintendo-style controllers. Their A and B are reversed from the Steam/Xbox layout. But #Godot input events only provide physical button locations. So how to make a Nintendo A/Confirm work the same as an Xbox A/Confirm ?

Source code from the Godot engine editor. It shows a function which runs when a new controller is attached. The function then assigns to joy actions, Confirm and Cancel, to A or B buttons, depending on whether another function determined it to be a Nintendo-style controller or not.
