hey yeah im still alive but the months since my last post have been awful and fairly catastrophic for my mental health, im only just now trying to get back into dev stuff but unsure if ill want to share progress or not, hopefully ill have something to show off sometime
hey friendly advice if youre ever thinking to yourself "oh ill just quickly look at that new factory game update that just came out" the only thing you should actually be doing quickly is going outside before the next 14 days of your life suddenly disappear before your eyes
Im having visions
No progress update this week, I was away from home babysitting chickens instead of programming lmao
It did give me some time to work on some design stuff, which was good since until now I've just been working on the project on the fly but now I'm at the stage now where I need concrete direction
give
i had no idea i uploaded this with sound lmao
Managed to convert the pet controller to a rigidbody system, so now they can be picked up and carried and flung around
Also squeezed in a genetics/reproduction system before getting super sick and being knocked out for the rest of the week
Stress testing is fun though

It's less about making everything balanced/scalable and more about making most systems ignorable without them impacting your preferred playstyle if you refuse to engage with them.
Like with Minecraft how you can just build random stuff and never engage with the Nether/End if you don't want to.
One of the things I want to enable is to allow the player to choose if they just want to look after a single creature or have an entire collection/community of them, I want to enable multiple different styles of play
They all have their own genetic profile as breeding/trait chasing is something I'm wanting to implement, same with decorations and clothes/accessories
Oh and lots of tweens to add juice
Pretty much everything you see here is made entirely with raw control nodes and very few imported textures. It's just lots of panels, margin containers and subviewport containers, so the scene tree gets a bit cramped but if everything is anchored correctly it always scales perfectly
They have goal oriented action planning agents up and running currently, I just need to add more behaviours and activities, but right now they can gather wood stone and gold on their own terms and get to keep a small portion for themselves to buy their own items if they want something
If you had a terrarium full of little creatures living on your PC's desktop, what would you do with them? What sorts of systems and interactions would you like to see in a game like this?
I gonna add ALL suggested features so there's something for everyone

this shit is like teleglitch little nightmares and inside did the fusion dance inside the BLAME! megacity why the fuck is it only on ps5 this is like 600% my shit i wanna play it put it on steam dammit
I added an option to disable the background transparency and now it looks like one of those fake operating systems you see in random TV shows

Added a goal oriented AI system to the pets so they can think for themselves now, and to keep an eye on their new behaviors I added a button that seamlessly transitions from the desktop to a fullscreen 1st-person mode so you can chat with them and explore their world

Wanted to get some UI programming practice in so I spent the last week putting together a rough prototype for a game about looking after little creatures that live in a crystal ball on your desktop with a sort of TCG-esque menu aesthetic and now I'm kinda obsessed with it

I believe in you.
