Weekly Update: January 3, 2025
🕑 Added 2025-01-03 14:20:39 +0000 UTCOh no, a post update rather than a video update, what happened?
Several rolling black outs during the week, with a big one that lasted from New Years Eve morning to New Years night. So out of the 5 noons I take to work on it, I took the first one off cause I figured I'd have a week to do lots of stuff, only work on 1 and then couldn't work on the other 2 noons. The fifth one, today, I am just dedicate for next week's update, so that there's something substantial (but also just in case my power goes out again so I rather give an update when I can than risk not being able to cause the power went out later today, hopefully not!)
Anyways, with all that said, no animation update (tho I am close to finishing the rough animation before the claws descend) but I do have something to show game wise
I made some more placeholder assets for the customer and chef to use as visual for when I test the mechanic of giving the chef an order and delivering food to the customer. And a neutral pose for the customer before she gives her order. I wanna try and see what's the max number of assets the average customer needs before I get around to putting more serious work into both the Regular Customer assets and Special Customer assets.
Another thing to figure out is how should I code in the method for the game to:
1. choose a random customer asset
2. have them use the designated assets for that customer when doing its thing
3. give that customer its custom color tone (to make each customer look distinct enough.
Failing that, I'll just make enough species to make the shuffle of customers seem less repetitive, but I do hope I can make Godot designate giving blank customer assets different colors. Which I think I can test with the placeholder customer.
Also here's the placeholder food asset. For now it'll be represented with a plate of food with a star above but in the full release, it'll be different food dishes of varying sizes.
So that's everything I did... in a single day lmao. But (and I hate I keep saying this after a week long event has continuously been interrupting me for the past month or so) I will make an attempt to make the next update more fruitful. I mean it! I MEAN IT!
Nothing will stop me! Not even- GASP! An unplanned week long event that disrupts my plans!? OH NOOOOOOOOOO
Seriously tho, I hope this stops. I made it my resolution to not leave any 2025/2024 project left for me to finish in 2026. I intend to keep that promise.
