Portrait options, cycling through the new Eye Accessory options.

Lighting effects in The Underground. I don't think this is quite the current settings...I keep tweeking it X'D

Using a Shovel to tild the soil, making it ready to grow crops.

Watering Can animation. Really happy with this, but I need to make a version without the water.

Some RNG for The Underground.

Building some random stuff to show off how the system works.

[txttletale]

"hi Sid Meier's Wife™, i'm home from Sid Meier's Job™, i Sid Meier's Love™ you and i got the Sid Meier's Groceries™ ffor our Sid Meier's Dinner™"

[foone]

Random video game history fact: Sid Meier only started putting his name on games after a Software Publishers Association meeting, where it was suggested to him by Robin Williams, of all people.

Minecart Update!

Minetracks are just grid data there's no object

Added Buttons for Minetracks. I was going to have them as just the normal Buttons and make it so you could place it on them, but this makes more sense, and stops you putting them on corners or doing other weird things. Makes the code simpler! Now to make a better sprite.

Her Majesty's pest control, poking things with sharp sticks so you don't have to.

Game Dev Progress Post for November

Happy December everyone! I hope you're all well!

Mostly just did sprite and UI work last month, but I did overhaul the action code relating to them such as Building/Crafting/Converting/Enchanting etc.

Now you can access your inventory from from to select specific Items instead of just relying on the automatic options.

in case you're wondering what the greatest AMV of all time is, it's this one from 2008.

I'm surprised I've not seen anyone talking about the fact that Elon Musk is threatening to buy My Little Pony

[aflockofpigeons]

And Hasbro, and thus DnD

[foone]

nah, no "and". He talked about buying hasbro, which includes D&D and My Little Pony and more

[embracebecoming]

If people start saying this he'll probably shut up about it. He's operating at about the mental level of a 14 year old already.

[foone]

well I've got two twitter accounts with 150k followers I've been meaning to burn, let's have them @ elon and call him a weirdo who wants to own Rainbow Dash.

This serves no gameplay purpose, but I managed to draw a Piano and found a tutorial on how to pitch shift a note to each key in Game Maker so I had to add it!

I already knew about pitch shifting, but this tutorial gave me the correct frequencies for the notes: https://youtu.be/wqlU7FfXRqc?si=89R47xA9g1qICEdH

There's a couple issues;

-Because of keyboard ghosting it's not possible to press all the notes since it requires holding a couple keys, so after this I rebound the keys from using the game controls to using twelve separate keys. Joypad control should be fine.

-Shifting the pitch up seems to end the note quicker? Might be worth getting a separate starting note wav file for each C note.

All and all I'm pretty happy with this.
