VN update: Got rollback & rollforward working, with branching "reality" when advancing from a previous point. Need to fix up background transitions, always more work to do. But hey, be proud of what you've achieved! Baby steps y'know?

#vndev #indiedev #godot

Had a weird dream last night about developing a VN with interactive dialogue box. Threw together a quick prototype. For sure an interesting concept.

#vndev #indiedev #godot

Simple but wise words. Any progress is progress.

Date selection scene is coming along swimmingly, still lacking the whole refine and polish part. But hey, at least the functionality is there! Passing along signals and all~

Finally managed to get a save-load system in place, along with a feng shui minimalist options menu.
How do people keep track of their code? I'm starting to get lost in this wavey-web of spaghetti code, despite my best efforts to not get it all tangled up.

Top right corner is just a constant heat source, equally black square in bottom left is a constant heat sink, so given enough time they would reach an equilibrium. In theory at least~

Experimenting with a temperature simulation system in Godot, early proof of concept, fun start but a long way to go!

At what point does the number of comments become a bad habit? Asking for a friend. #godot #gamedev

Hiya folks! Fresh dev here. Chancing to achieve my dream of game dev, hope some of you can find interest in my journey here as I'll attempt to go from zero (no prior dev experience) to hero (release a decent product) using Godot for the VN market!
