Its got clunk, but the innards/flow of settings and title screens are up and running. Think thats the last foundational thing I wanted to hit before I can now just cruise on the fun game parts as far as I can take for the next two weeks.

Since ability upgrades are kinda important to track for a metroidvania, made a lil widget to show em. Kinda odd as is, but my plan beyond the jam is to expand this kinda slidein menu, in lieu of normal full screen pause menu stuff

Unearthed some extra old npc/attack stuff I had lying around. Was fond of these lil chompy guys when I made em but I wanna model up something specific for the jam if time permits. Quite a mess under the hood tho thats for sure 😅

Sorta on an unintended hiatus with my platformer thats been bumming me out but #MetroidvaniaMonthJam is here to bring back my motivation! My goal/hope is to package up what I mostly already have into a lil metroidjam game and springboard back into regular progress again

Been a bit! Motivation n progress has been at an all time low but I finally setup this lil after image effect I've been wanting to do for a while.
Just early fiddling but really I wanna use this specifically for the hyper jump and dashes.

Got dialogue boxes all hooked back up for #ScreenshotSaturday. Also fixed that problem where words shift n wrap around as they appear while you're trying to read em.

Oh ya and happy accident when I goofed up the see through shadow material. I got to see that white outlines and a dither texture look real neat. Idk if I do anything with this information but I dig it lol

More rolling! Holding the roll button is now another way to transition into slides. Also started a system to have input windows on montages. Keeps it so jumping out of a roll happens consistently and at the right times, not too early/late.

More animations for roll jumps, punches and a lil air attack. You can probably guess where some inspiration came from. Real happy with how the jump outta the roll turned out!

🥐 Wanted to animate a lil roll so i did! I made it to replace the slide when crouching while moving but it really is just a better form of my current dodge so i got some fiddling to do

Been stuck in the UI mines so as a reward I spent a little time updating wall runs/slides to handle moving platforms! Im ignoring momentum for now since it allows for some annoying extremes but the character now properly attaches to actors

Been quiet on the platformer for a bit! Not the cool kinda quiet where I get to show back up with a bunch a progress but it's been a needed break.
Easing back into it with saving/loading stuff and this lil animation might play into that.

Finally reworked the health/hits/respawns that'd just be sitting broken for a while and now much cleaner too. Maybe ill figure out what I want the UI presentation to be now that things are workin

Worked through getting character abilities to be unlockable (more importantly making sure it all works when things are initially locked)

Wiggly Tail! Having the secondary movement of things like the tail/hair/ears feels like such a cheat code at making things feel more alive

Cleaned up a lot of cruft with portals to make them perform way better, especially when theres multiple close by/in view. Not perfect but theyre useable! last thing to work in is to get audio to 'flow' through them.

The only way to solve the blank canvas is to toss things at the canvas. My hope is to one day not feel like im cobbling things together so randomly when blocking out a space, never quite feels right

Tiny thing, but now wall jumping gets influenced a bit by directional input instead of being the same angle from the wall every time. Makes it more dependable to hit a wall flat on and slide down, or to continue along the next surface

Fiddling with different types of platforms. Ones that cycle on a timer, cycle on jumps, or ones that appear as you make contact.
