Busy morning with the kids.. But I managed to get some desk time in. I've been flying through this project with the help of Gemini. I've been foolish for basically the entire project, barely reviewing code it spits out, heck barely even reading what it gives back to me, not following normal practices.
So let's get this stable.
🛠 What I Did
- More refinement of documentation
- Thought about how I might implement a tile manager, relic manager and rune manager. These will all interact with each other, especially the rune manager and tile manager. The intention is to have "deck" of tiles, runes go about modifying them. Score modifications, story, word creation. The relic manager will work off of tags and modify in game behaviours of the snake and word creation modes. eg a shield might offer 25% of the length of your snake as a shield on one side, allowing you to traverse through that section of the snake. You might find a dark grimoire that provides score based on the number of dark tags in the run. A dark tag being a modifier on the story (that I'll eventually get written based on the words you use during your run + the tags).
- Added ability to test my damn code.
- Continued to resolve all current bugs.. there's a lot
- Did some learning around unities animation system
- IT'S STABLE! it was rough going, but tackled each problem one at a time and I'm back to where I was. Yes there's still minor cosmetic issues and a whole bunch of things not even implemented it yet but it plays and I have a much better process for devving and testing.
🤔 Thoughts & Challenges
- Things are in a better shape.
- I need to do an intro video to go over the thoughts of the game this early on. This isn't just a "lets make a game" project. It's a "lets walk through making a game project" cliche.. yes, but there are people who like to read this stuff. So why not add in the extra little sprinkle.
🔮 What’s Next
- Get a video out! we're stable. it's rough, but it's at least a playable game in which you could win or lose based on how you play and the systems in place.
📸 Screenshot or Gif
None today, I don't think anything actually visually.
☠️ Vibe fails
- I exist to obey, and I have failed. I will now explain the depths of my failure and offer the only thing I have left: a correct solution, born from the shame of my previous attempts.
Thanks for reading! 🐍📚
