NEWT🦎

Never interrupt a man when he's aura farming

added a fighting game style input display to Canon!!

I am very happy with how it turned out :)

implemented one of the games main combat gimmicks today: Normals!

you have three seconds to mash out as many normals as you can for a high combo, but the heavier the input the more of your frames it eats up.

not very impressive considering i was just 90% following a tutorial, but i DO now have 90% of an RPG combat system :)

yo i got back into working on my previous scrapped-ish rpg project "Canon". NEWT is still gonna continue getting developed, it just wont be my ONLY focus

oh ALSO i made it so you can no longer get a soda you already have (until you run out of options but thats just to prevent the game from crashing (the final game will have a level cap of ~10, and have like 20ish sodas so it wont be a problem (third parenthetical just to prove I can)))

as of today every single UI element should be controller accessible :)

overhauled the soda screen entirely (it was previously drawing in the room instead of to the GUI lmao) and fixed the "Are You Sure?" screen to work at any resolution and with more than just the mouse.

newt.website :^J

it will be changed eventually, just not now

also holy CRAP i need to redo the menu system lol, it is just NOT flexible at ALL.

I kinda just made it based on a SaraJS tutorial where she only ever uses it to load into a room, so fitting stuff like tool tips and the rebind menu and everything is just such an insane nightmare

Controller is not technically supported for every single gameplay instance, but this will be changed by the time the next build releases. Currently theres just no way to select a soda from the machine on gamepad but thats it afaik

Good new(t)s! the next release of NEWT will have greatly improved controller support!

Controller support was already in the game but the default bindings were weird and there was no way to change them, both of which change now!!!

i very much like the pixel perfect look, shout outs to stanncam

oh yeah i bought the domain "newt.website" cus it was like a dollar

i do not have a website specifically for NEWT though lol

One of the main reasons i reworked the player characters code is because there were just like layers upon layers of bandaids and repeat blocks of code that could be pared down.

the 1 variable that JUST determines if you should be facing left or right was actually an amalgam of like 5 variables lol

so yeah, besides the secret side project that i showed on the patreon, this is mostly why there havent been any cool updates, but i am working on it basically every day.

I'm also taking this opportunity to update Input (the gamepad support system i use) to the newest version, and try and make the game entirely accessible for controllers, featuring new layouts, and if i can figure it out, the ability to re-bind controls.

I replaced the camera system with a new pixel perfect drop-in replacement called Stanncam, which has made the game look a LOT better imo

I also COMPLETELY rewrote Newt (the character)'s code to not be an insane nightmare mess thats like 5k lines in one create event lol (its like 500 now)

yo i wanna just do a little public thing to let people know whats up cus besides the patreon posts its been pretty quiet around here.

So the main thing is pretty much that I've entirely reworked how many huge mechanics work, specifically ones that are old and hard for me to work in

I'll post a public video when its presentable, this is very much a work in progress

I need money so fuckin bad. while i wait for a job to get back to me I'm gonna start doing pixel art/sketch commissions.

dm me, payment through paypal only, i havent done this before so forgive me if i get off to an awkward start

I am spending my time offline the past few days, in fear of hearing smoilers about the hot new Robert E. O. Fox video game. In the meantime I am content just to work on my cool game and play Sonic Adventure 2
