Overworld VFX

New Csprites

I know art is iterative but damn.

I'm way happier with these tho... sadly animating them might be out of my skill set haha. I might figure it out one day

Psuedo2D

A dump of some things. I briefly mentioned how I had rewrote the game in Godot 4. During the transition I decided to give up on pure 2D and just make a 3D game that looks 2D... so in my own words, pearlessential is now a Psuedo2D game. Here are some captures from early in the transition.

ngl these old mockups are cringe. What's worse is, I know they're cringe since I end up redesigning them in the future... but the redesign isn't in the game either (although I'm working on it so I can push a new build) Speaking of builds if you join the discord server you can play them (if I haven't switched anything up by the time you read this) you should join and watch me get the slowest percent speedrun world record for indie game development. I would put a link here but it's 1 am and I have like 30 more twitter posts to push over onto here.

we got even more characters now, and fancy weapons!

Selective Interaction

Very simple, yet super useful, feature, now you can directly choose what to interact with when surrounded by multiple options. Don't ask what happens if you have more than 26 things nearby...

Level Switching Bug

I figured it out eventually but this was too funny not to share

Pause Menu

I kinda of want to tweak it a little, don't mind the placeholder icons lol. As for what I've been doing up until now. I was working on this back in March and uh since then I've been tweaking the game here and there. As for the lack of posts... I just got lazy I guess.

New Chests!

Compared to the 2D ones getting this 3D one up to snuff was a bit of work. I still need to retexture the inside of the top half and add some glow effects maybe. I'm slowly getting a hang of blender and 3D workflows but I don't think I'm ready to do a house just yet... Maybe I should make some variants... I kinda want to make a minecrafty one that's super cuby.

As for why I decided to model a chest instead of billboarding one like the trees... So you can stand on it! I have some level design ideas in mind where a chest or some other small object is required to reach locations but for now, it's still just an idea.

Inventory UI Part 2

So uh scroll bars and the scroll container node suck. I just kinda hate them. This is probably the first time I got them to work the way I wanted lol. I also got it to do this which I think was pretty cool:
