Happy #feedbackfriday!
Pretty happy with how this is coming together so far. A few more things to touch up on this and then that’s level 3 wrapped!
What do you think?

Multiple code windows!
For me, it depends on context and communication.
Where I've seen it done well, the player still "wins" but the ingame action that follows makes it clear they lost, narratively.
ie boss fights where you beat them down to half health but then get shit kicked immediately after in a cutscene
This morning I made time to listed to @andresplays.bsky.social podcast @littlevictoriesap.bsky.social. It was great to hear him interview @caraellison.bsky.social a whole lotta good stuff.
Give it a listen if you're into #gamedev and #indiegame stuff

Negative space baby. It can make things so much easier.
Was looking to make this room feel more ominous. Still rough around the edges, but the vibe is there now.

Started work on 86’ds opening scene for level 3. More work to be done, but I’m happy with the WIP so far. I like how much off putting vibe I can get out of so few elements in the scene.

Feedback from next fest was that the text was too fast, and people couldn't slow it down.
So I added a delay to await input from the player, and a way to speed up the text if you don't want to (or have already) read it

All the time
Samesies. Steam allows multiple trailers too, so the recommendation is only for the primary trailer. Cinematic ones usually come second, if at all
I’ve got some new precision screwdrivers coming today. Going to take apart my laptop and see if I can’t fix the track pad
But trailers aren’t a one size fits all. Steam is first and foremost a store, so the promo material we put there might be different than what we put on other places like YouTube or even itch.
Matter of fact I just reviewed their documentation and they actually give exactly the discovery queue as one example as to why they suggest gameplay first.
This advice is given directly from valve on their trailer documentation and the trailer upload page.
Plus, the polygon method lets me make adjustments easier, since I can see how the UV is deforming the textures in-editor, as opposed to passing in raw data and running it each time, so it fit my workflow better. :3
Once that's done, I just have a little script that takes in a "morph time" and then just lerps the vertex positions and handles the crossfade.
I coulda done the same in a shader, but I figured this was a cool way to try a different way that's a bit more visual.
I start by setting up the vertices and polys on the end state (could do either, but I worked backwards because the end sprite had some more defined features.
Once the mesh is set up, I duplicate the node and change the texture. Then I remapped the vertices for the start state.
I coulda, but I opted to use some Polygon2D nodes in Godot for it. Same same happening under the hood though.
I have two Polygon2D nodes, one for the start state, one for the end.
Both polys have the same number of arrays, in fact, they start off as duplicates.
Pretty happy with this little morph effect that I put together.
