Played Meta Form by @boz-float.itch.io

I'm not good at puzzle games, but Meta Form is short and the leaps of logic are easy, even if they are dream-like. It's an interactive fiction game where you acquire words by talking to characters and taking actions.

Meta Form by Boz of Aesth, c0hil
Surrealist point-and-click adventure game with a touch of existential dread and a whole lot of escapism.

* Implemented two new items to test the architecture and expanded the architecture to support them
Next Up: More items to test/expand the architecture.

* Targets now do a little spawn animation instead of pop into existence
* Set up a system for certain targets to make them spawn after destroying X number of targets that seemed unfair advantage to put on a probability because it could help a lucky player immensely

Refactored start behavior to be triggered by a "Round Start" event and then used that to set a start and end screen. Also refactored handling of cursor locking and pausing to provide an infrastructure for more screens.

I find art style (and abilities) comes from passion. Passion comes from personal history. You have to be real with yourself about who you are and where you came from and what is deeply personal and passionate for you and you can channel that.

Added hitscan aim (feels amazingly more accurate) and added a damage bonus based on how close to the center of the target you shoot.

Test toon shader on the walls where I've customized 12 thresholds of color for different levels of shadow, with an outline post process on top from flatkit. And then the pink cubes are using the deformation shader with basic unity lighting.

Good enough environment lighting for prototype vibes: flat kit shader for the walls and distributed some colored point lights around the world.
Also decided to test out arranging the world more like Neon White. I like the idea of rapid movement through an FPS environment with quick draw targeting.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.

The numbers were hard to see because they kept going inside the models, so I gave them their own camera. And then I gave them their own physics so they could knock each other out of the way and bounce on the floor.
