// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-22 ) DONE - Made the player a bouncy ball for more fun chaos. NEXT - Get the game installed on Steam Deck for prelim performance sign-off. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-21) DONE - Fixed bug causing some tiles not to spawn material objects at all. The newly spawned material thought they were miles away before the position was set. NEXT - Make the player a bouncy ball for more chaos. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT _DEFUSED (2025-06-20) DONE - Got multiple sized tiles to spawn based on available tiles. NEXT - Fix bug causing some tiles not to spawn material objects at all. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-19) DONE - Started working on spawning larger tiles when tiles are grouped to minimise the number of physics objects. NEXT - Finish spawning different tile size physics objects. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-17) DONE - Added a destruction per time system to avoid physics spikes. NEXT - Look for other opportunities to improve general performance. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-16) DONE - Improved performance of material absorption. - Completed object pooling on material. NEXT - Implement a destruction per time/frame system to avoid physics spikes. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-13) - Got my ass kicked by object pooling. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-11) - Completed piercer bullet logic. - Reduced general fire rate to make it more playable. - Change bullet explosion shape based on weapon type. - Change position of gun to communicate fire rate. - Started material pooling logic. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-10) - Improved bullet scene to change based on gun used. - Added option to show explosions. - Fixed bug that was causing piercer fire to only effect edge tile map layers. - Made tilemap destruction universal across tilemaps. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-09) - Failed to make the piercer weapon to actually work but got closer. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-08) - Improved new piercer weapon. - Added slow time alt fire. - Started working on long range destruction shot. - Got absolutely stumped by rotations. - Added very short cooldown to weapon switching to stop the player fumbling. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-08) - Added gun swapping mechanic for more destruction. - Started gun pick up logic. - Started building the piercer weapon. - Expanded list of intended weapons. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2024-06-06) - Implemented camera offset based on movement direction and speed. - Implemented zoom based on current speed. Now the play might actually be able to see where they are going, which is important I guess. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-04) - Built an in-editor method that allows me to highlight special tiles to help building levels and debugging. - Started experimenting with offsetting camera based on current movement. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-03) - Fixed a bug where chunking the tilemaps was removing all anchor tiles, causing every shot to destroy the entire level. Which was interesting from a performance perspective. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-02) - Split out the in-editor anchor tile calculation so it can be manually changed before tile map chunking. - Made the anchor threshold higher, so we can have more fun breaking tiles not linked to an anchor. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-06-01) - Improved anchor tile processing. - Added brief weapon designs. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-05-31) - Improved directional design document. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-05-30) - Increased projectile size. - Added obstacles to test level. - Decreased absorption range. - Added brake as alt fire to launcher weapon. - Moved score from material absorption to material generation. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROTOTYPE_DEFUSED (2025-05-29) - Implemented debris absorption. - Change goal from escape to destroying as much as possible. Chaos > Speed. - Added score to UI. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-05-28) - Implemented debris absorption. - Change goal from escape to destroying as much as possible. Long live destruction. - Added score to UI. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_DEFUSED (2025-05-27) - Resized guns to hide firing from body. - Re-implemented squeeze effect on player when firing. - Expanded design document. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_ DEFUSED (2025-05-24) - Created pool of music from DOS-88. - Created pool of sfx from Shapeforms. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

// COMMIT PROJECT_ DEFUSED (2025-05-16) - Explored sources and styles for SFX. #indiedev #gamedev

// REVIEW PROTOTYPE_25AA + Mechanics feel slick + Learnt about SFX creation + Leveraged existing code/knowledge - Didn't identify core of project - Ignored deadline - Scope creep > Pre-commit to non-negotiable deadlines > Commit to scope ASAP > Focus on 'core' of game #indiedev #gamedev #godot
