New timeline puts the character's faces on it. Enemies will also have faces on it probs

More WIP Inventory

I spend a lotta time tweaking designs instead of coding, which I feel guilty for... probably because my project's viability suffers a bit each time because I want it to look perfect before the first implementation... maybe ill spend a month doing quick and dirty sprints where I implement features in a week... maybe

it does look cute

Party Follow

So following party members are a bit tricker in 3D. The main issue I need to solve is how they handle being obstructed by something they can scale. I sorta want to put jumping into their state machine but I'm lazy so for now they teleport. I had a slight issue where when they teleported somewhere they could crush the player controller into the ground... it might still be an issue I need to test it more haha.

If you were curious about how their path-finding works it's something like this:

A. Determine the vector between the current position and the player position ignoring the y-axis. B. Add vector to velocity to move in the player's direction. C. If one of 6 ray casts reports collision and velocity is close to zero pick another direction to walk in for a while before resuming from step A.

I could use the built-in navigation stuff Godot has but it needs to be baked and I sorta want to avoid that with how much I like to tweak the environment sometimes. Idk it works well enough for now but there is totally room for improvement haha.

Support Action

This is a gimmick I've been looking into, at the cost of a turn you can bank an action to use later immediately after someone else. This seems pretty useless but could be helpful in applying status effects that can combine, I still need to think about it lol.

Development Update

Hello, I made a post on TIG just now. It summarizes some future progress that hasn't been posted here. Check it out if you feel like it.

While the ecg minigame thing is cool, it is literally a placeholder I think. IF SOMEONE would program an inventory I would let you use an item for free in between waves instead of trying to catch a heartbeat.

Super Fancy Location Indicator

That I will probably redesign since I want to redesign the pause menu...
