#dev: next deployment

[kyraltre]

next deployment - day 7 - ending

the data pad and pop up box got a bit of a clean up and finally produced the functions to have the ending be generated based on the checklists. currently only 3/4 are possible to earn - you cant get a community win and a gar loss right now. so the 3 test endings are shown. Love opinions on them :)

((yess I can see the bugs that exist in the dialogue for calls to the character... I am working on that... it is just bed time and I have work tomorrow. ;-;))

tomorrow's goals - add a help button in the datapad to com Pi and get help about how to complete this mission and get insights. -- bonus points if can also make an npc to wander around and click on them for also conversation.

next deployment - day 4

today you can see the updates from yesterday with the not building over other buildings and waiting until the next day for things to be built.

today was focused on getting farming up and running. the well was added to the community items so water can be generated. the fields take daily labor and water to work so you have to be mindful of that. a large field and high labor crop will quickly waste all your labor for the day! when you harvest crops, food is added to your resource bar, it also goes down each day because you were only sent with so many rations and the community you are rebuilding also doesn't have a food source yet.

tomorrow's goals - cause and effect / reputation. probably working on the GAR issued checklist you are to complete first so there is a clear space for you to track your progress to 'complete'

next deployment - work day 9

made new lil guy assets. they can be randomly generated based on if they are civilian or trooper. lots of possibilities (not really but we can imagine it).

look at these amazing stills showing the four positions. the hanging and walking frames are animated on a simple swing rotation, otherwise we just have stills. I want to have like 6-8 troopers and 10 community members for yall to drag around to your tasks so we dont want them super detailed or animated to make it too busy.

next goals (when I have another work day) - make the characters walk around and work when near a building under construction (aka implement a state machine for the lil guys).

next deployment - day 8 - drag and drop friends

remember how I said I would work on adding dialog with Pi? yeah that didn't happen. I instead made a framework of a main menu, a scene transition, new lil datapad tabs... and then....

drag and drop friends!

the goal is to hopefully be able to drag and drop people to places to assign them work or something of sorts. idk

next thing to do: add more building types to gain wood and stone from and make buildings take longer than one day to build.

but honestly.... im lowkey burnt out right now ;-; I may take the weekend off to write fan fics or draw.

next deployment - day 6 - data pad

finished yesterday's check flag calculations so now they are all ready to be used in win/loss values.

moved the single popup windows for displaying information into a single datapad ui/popup to make it star wars-y. this will end up displaying all you need in one place. :)

tomorrow's goals: make a framework series of win/loss screens based on the check flags i finished calculating today. [total win, gar only win, community only win, total loss]

next deployment - day 5

got dialogic 2.0 (my fav dialog handler for godot) back in and working with some generic scripting for player values. this scene you see is the framework for the beginning scene of this story. will be flushed out more and all that as we go.

also started implementing the check flags for what the gar wants and what the community wants. also a helpful daily costs bar for helping understand what its all costing ... thats all a wip right now especially with farming. trying to manage how labor and water is costing with so many options is hard ;-;

finally spent the morning on the zoom and pan around feature because idk seemed fun i guess

tomorrow goals: finish the check flag system for daily costs and win criteria.

tomorrow starts my work week (I work four 10hr shifts). I am hoping to do some coding at work depending on my ticket/work load so we will see how the progress goes through the next several days.
