Working on all of these tools has really leveled up my programming chops. Learning about things that I've ignored, functions I didn't know about, or shortcuts to use later has been great...

...then there are things that happened at the end of the stream today which make me reevaluate life choices.

Quick update: this bug is fixed 🔨

It now works flawlessly, you can push and pull boxes from any side (and while standing next to them)

Animations need a bit more work, but it’s fully functional

Ope, heh it looks like there was an error with my last stream, fortunately I still have the VOD up so if you are interested in hearing the ramblings of me while I try and figure out how to make tools while you work, you can check it out here: www.youtube.com/live/iIMucHQ...

The current town blockout. This place is a hub. The levels are mostly linear, but the areas connecting them aren't. It already has progression. There are lots of place-holder events, but you can get to the end of level 2 even though there isn't much here yet.

Wanna see how our game looks behind the scenes?

Here’s how we see a level of Shroom and Gloom in the Unity scene view while we’re developing the game.

so happy we decided to actually go with getting sprites to react to lights and shadows properly - it makes creating scenes such a joy

I stared at this for an additional 5 minutes squealing the moment I got this to work for the 2025 version.
