Working on pantry shelving for the game, we realized just how much junk we have in our real pantry. We still have so many more food items to make to fill all these shelves!

Happy I learned state trees, I got the AI to go around doing tasks. The player can get the AI's attention, and after the AI goes to the player, it will resume where it left off with its task.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure that nav link proxy exists to make an AI walk through a door to get to the player.... I was trying to do it the hard way and make my own system.

We decided to start out with a simple boxy house design for the prototype. Looking forward to fully furnishing and having the kitty destroy all of it!

Our ideas are too big for our prototype๐Ÿ˜… We were thinking of doing an open world, and have decided it is wiser to focus on doing a single building for a proof of concept.

Spent the day hammering out issues with the coastline generation. Canals up to this point were manually placed by me, but now they'll fill in automatically'ish

I'll be making it a point of posting more devlogs too

I have been convinced to do more learning on UE5 State Trees, which has me messing with it today.

Our attempt at making the Pink cake from the Stardew Valley cookbook. I was supposed to make it all by myself, but had to call on my better half to do the piping. (Should have asked for her help sooner, I didn't add enough food coloring.) ๐Ÿ˜…

In the depths of the Haunts, spirits whisper and bones remember...but the necromancer speaks loudest. ๐Ÿ’€ Play as a Myrtunan to wield ancient, spirit-based spells in Kristala.

I do like the fact that state trees can do more than just AI. Gonna have to mess with both BT and ST to see what works better.

Need the ai to be able to react to the player at anytime as well as "show emotion"

Tonight's Guernsey: Hooked up some of the new scenes.

You might wonder why, during this scene, it is raining inside of Guernsey's cabin.

Well, I wonder that, too! ๐Ÿ˜ค #gamedev #indieGameDev
