sphere (TV³)

small UI piece of a larger system. player won't see this but it resizes based on the largest word so it's easier for us to drag and drop them

proper TV3 updates thread (limited to stuff i've personally made; the others have made lots too!) i think i'd like this shrine to have a little dark souls player-to-player message system. it's a bit of an afterthought though, so i bet a better use for it will arise as we continue.

trying to get the tutorial right since we will (hopefully) reach more players this time, + the main mechanics are more complex now. starting it a little early bc it is the biggest writing challenge (balancing ‘poetic’ narrative voice with wordy tutorial voice; making narrative sense without boring)

in the original game i didn’t have the time/skill to make this piano work well. it’s a little confusing at first but the note highlighting goes a long way i also just wanted a chord display really bad because those are cool

i have switched to using a 2012 macbook pro full time so that i can always be testing the worst possible hardware. my main computer is a nervous horse, so despite all of the ostensible hardware gains it still fucks up at a genuinely unacceptable rate. the mbp has been great & gets full frames! (24)

i've been working on a lot of under-the-hood stuff, but it has finally yielded something i can show off. new pause menu + audio bus functions

Some as-yet less visually impressive/rough draft systems.. keys and doors, inventory and cutscene triggers, etc etc featuring the dreaded godot selection box i haven't fixed on the tab organizer yet since switching to 4.6

before/after a very simple shader pre-compiler i made to fix the horrendous shader comp slowdown in godot 4.2. the scene's material textures are all under 100kb, but since there are 200+ of them, it still caused quite a lot of slowdown.

please excuse the 91 errors... half are due to github and godot not playing nicely with each other, and the other half are due to a viewport bug that's since been fixed as of godot 4.3... it can't be helped

got impatient with programming and started lighting my scene/staging screenshots. i was very worried everything would get crunched by the low resolution, but selective texture filtering is paying off :)
