When An Important Character Is Presented In The Game, A "Splash Screen" Of That Character Will Be Shown

When an important character is presented in the game, a "Splash Screen" of that character will be shown to the player.

I got the idea of using "Splash Screens" from comic books. Sometimes in comics, characters are presented with a splash page.

This right here is a Splash Screen of Save Cat.

(damn. it's thursday already)

Started doing the textboxes for the NPCs on Ashdopel Town.

I have discovered that making dialogue for different characters ain't easy. It's quite hard to imagine a way of speaking that is different to one's self.

I ran into a little conundrum with Hello World, so today I'll give you a little update on my Advanced Development class project. Now titled: Earth Grieve.

As you can see by the gif above, The spaceship can freely move in 8 directions and can shoot bullets straight forwards.

Now, the thing with Hello World is that I'm having a little problem making the HUD work. Which then make me start questioning if I even need one in the first place. Cause if I want to display how many bliss points the player has, I could just use the stats menu that's already built in the engine. So now I'm wondering if I should delete the HUD.

I'll let you know what decision I took next Wednesday.

Trying to add a HUD to the game.

In Hello World, every time you make a new friend you'll acquire one "Bliss Point". When you get enough Bliss Points, you'll be able to use Beazley's "Bliss Magic" powers.

Roma aliens like Beazley have the ability to use Bliss Magic, which allows them to achieve "even the impossible". The more friends you make, the more Bliss Points you'll get. Collect enough of them to make incredible miracles happen!

My Weekly Torture Starts Again

Today I've gotten back to college. Calling it a torture it's quite exaggerated, cause I love studying videogame development, but I'm a pretty lazy guy.

I won't stop working on the game tho. I think I can still have it finished by the end of the year, but keeping up with a consistent schedule might be impossible.

There are many goals that I would like to achieve this year: like finally understanding basic programming or improving my physical health.

College will probably have me doing some small game projects through out the year aswell, so I might share some of those in here.

So yeah. That all I got to say about that. Now look at this spinning pionono con dulce de leche.

I'm a tad late as usual, but check this out:

This right here got me an 8 (B for americans, I guess??) on Engines class.

Regarding Hello World, I have decided to get rid of the HUD. I wasn´t able to make it work and it just kinda felt like it was obstructing the player's view of the world.

I haven't been able to work on the game recently. College keeps taking most of my time, but I'll still try to keep posting litte updates every wednesday.
