working hard to finish jessica 2 while listening to the hour-long jessica 3 soundtrack i curated while making jessica 2

im biting the bullet and untangling the code... new npc system is more versatile, and ive made it back to square one where you can have a basic interaction... still have to restore functionality to the shops that already worked, then i can make a final (?) attempt at the remaining shops

good morning its time for programming

detransitioning so i can go to jupiter

its nice when the script errors go away and theres only runtime errors and you can rest easy knowing the game engine is no longer in pain

scripting ui stuff is soooo annoying... i was able to get *most* shops working with this old spaghetti code but i think i need to spend extra time overhauling it just to make it less of a headache for myself... im gonna complain the whole time though...

shop concepts

- shops (zzz) - endgame/cutscene type stuff - minor bug fixes - clean up level designs - test/revise/optimize

fast travel system done, upgrade shop is next. we're ahead of schedule so technically i have all month but it would be cool if i could get it done sooner

when a game softlocks you in a room on purpose but acts like everything is normal. theres something horny about that

mysterious

rip sora you wouldve loved asha from wish

me, possessed by a demon: *sets fire to the world and makes everyone suffer and scream in agony* my noble defenders: guys dont get mad at her shes obviously under contract and cant say anything right now

next step is the library, need to replace witches with statues when you have all 4 abilities unlocked (easy) then script those statues to warp you to corresponding library statues (mostly easy) and then design the librarys magic upgrade shop (less easy, involves changes to existing mechanics)

jessica 2 has unique blue enemy types with different laser patterns, but when youre halfway through the game a second wave of enemies shows up and it's all the classic red types

multiple save files

i wonder how the story will end

if you get stuck in jessica 2 you can pause and select the "die and reset" button, killing jessica instantly. this can also be triggered by pressing the keys RIP, KYS, or KMS

testing multiple versions of the project and my save got corrupted and now it just spawns me in this room with both gates locked and no way out and the music looping forever

i guess the reason i cant truly hype the game up is its changed a lot and we havent done external playtesting of any recent versions so i dont know how people will experience it. i never wanna say a thing is good until its been tested. we're in the "90% done but currently unplayable" phase

princess STOP bullying the ai bros leave them alone. ok fine. pokes them with a stick while youre not looking

guys the asset store got worse theres so much of this

if i remember correctly its like, each time you do a significant thing (open a chest, destroy a barrier, etc) it gets stored in your "temporary save file" which isnt actually saved until you hit a checkpoint, at which point the game loops through a huge array of possible variables to copy & paste...

princess get all these things done by the end of the year challenge

when we make jessica 3 i will try very hard to underscope it. the concept is remix/mashup levels from the first 2 games but shuffle them randomly into a roguelite, and also procgen random foliage + neon signs + lights etc so its a jungle rave. which doesnt sound hard

*making a metroidvania with 12 distinct zones* i hope we have enough zones

i wasnt prepared for the size of this game... the plan was to make it twice as big as jessica 1, to compensate for having a more grounded world with continuity and backtracking... but i think in terms of density & complexity it ended up being more like 4 times bigger

last minute asset shopping before we get back on schedule next month... we're kinda multitasking finalizing level designs + fixing technical stuff, its a lot to juggle but im having fun... this game is in the "fuck it just get it done" phase which is always exhilarating

jessica 2 now features Useless Doors

we're making the videogame thank you im sorry i didnt know it would take so long... im looking at the project timeline for the last 5 years and im like how did this happen... but i know its because of the plague

ok fine i will do it. i will work on the videogame

loot bonks

type 2 narcolepsy makes it sooo easy to make sleepy music because sound selection is just whatever puts you to sleep, thats how i made princess music but now im trying a different thing where i stay awake and its a lot harder

i made enough sleepy music i only make WAKE UP music now

im so hype for videogames i cant wait to get back to videogames... princess is a construct whos primary function is videogames and she kinda phases out of existence when shes doing anything else but when shes making videogames its like... there she is

*already has multiple albums on spotify* today i will learn how to make music

i think gamedev traumatized me into compatibility-maxxing like i used to be scared of shaders because what if i need to update the engine and all the shaders break... its silly but its kind of a valid fear when u consider my first major release is now impossible to update... haunted by obsolescence

music is so fake like if your song is stereo thats not even a song thats two songs at the same time... weirdly complicated setup... imagine if a movie was two movies side by side lol *notices the tv is a rectangle* hey wait

loudness war is sooo dumb just turn ur speakers up (says this while on my phone scrolling through results for "how do i make my mix louder please please please")

i forgot jessica 2 is actually gonna be the biggest and best game we've ever made once its done

we are doing game design over here

becoming obsessed with "seeminglessly" a word people use interchangeably with both "seemingly" and "seamlessly" but also a more specific third thing which is like "easily/unassumingly"

just heard a youtuber say "seeminglessly"

realized ive never known the definition of "classically trained musician" and had to look it up really quick just to make sure im not a classically trained musician

people have said im self deprecating and its like no i just think art is subjective and you shouldnt care so much about being good at it! you should have fun!! duh!!!!
