Thank you so much! 💖

Yeah, I think putting in the work to have something that I can just throw into a new project to be fully set up will be *so* worth it! :D

And yea, I was considering starting a bit later or maybe just work on something "in parallel" and see if I can fit it into the theme or something! :D

You know it kind of gives me very twilight-y vibes for some reason. Good place to go for a summer vacation.

How about Tw... Sunset Suburb!

The placeholder target is @djano.bsky.social and his sandwich

It certainly was one hell of a way to start a new job lmao

Oh, shush! Your work is very inspiring for me!

Thank you! And yeah, the plan was to finally have a more-or-less properly engineered system that I can use as a clean starting point, haha. Don't wanna run into the Lunistice spaghetti nightmare again! :D

I'm really happy with this thing so far! Can't wait to use it (and the rest of my framework) for future projects!
It's so nice being almost done with the thing, since I'll just be able to yeet it into a new project and be fully set up immediately! 😀

New actions (or probably later down the line sets of actions) can be added/removed or enabled/disabled at will without breaking the whole system, which makes it super flexible.

Technically nothing would stop me from just swapping out the whole system for another, either!

That's how the ledge grab works for example. It just locks the system to its priority, so at that point it has pretty much full control over the player velocity until the character jumps out of it!
And if they need dependencies: the whole system is data-driven, so I can just slot in the data I need.

These velocities get mixed in different ways - mostly based around priorities!
Actions can trigger the system to lock its own priority, meaning every action that has a lower priority will not produce any velocity until they're unlocked.
Actions can also temporarily be set as a solo velocity source.

I call this thing "CharacterActionSystem". It's a fully stateless way for handling characters!
Meaning instead of setting up rigid connections in a finite state machine, I can define independent actions that handle their own logic and output their own desired velocities.

Sorry, Granny Lisa is yelling at the internet again 👵

(if you look closely you might be able to tell that I'm frustrated at console backends once again)

Like... there are platform backends that look and feel like they were made using a "WebDev for Dummies" book and some shoestring that work better than anything Microsoft has spawned into existence.

... and they even call my by my proper name, imagine that! 🙃
