Going to put some game dev stuff in this thread to keep as a retrospective. It's a lot of little technical or design things that I thought were interesting to think about that aren't necessarily used in a lot of indies I see. Very rough, very idle

Very thankful for Portponky's Better-Terrain plugin to group different terrains. Usually for different tiles that should connect edges, I actually wanted two kinds of corners for the same tile, so it's actually a duplicated .tres TileSource that copies all layer info for the shared, non-edge tiles

realizing that bsky might not be a good place to document progress bc I can only attach one gif at a time. Maybe move to tumblr

It always astounds me how GS managed to simulate not only height, but smooth transitions between fractional heights. Even though the tiles have 1-3 clear levels per screen, the smooth movement between ramps-floors and ramps-ramps is way more fine tuned than any other truly 2D game I can think of

I've tried out a lot of the neat tools that generate patterns/effects/shapes for a "clean" look, but it just doesn't appeal to me as much as the narrow time around 2010-2015 after resolutions could show off better hand-drawn icons and sprites, but before everyone switched to 3D or procedural assets

Anyways there are so many small details I get myself worked up about at early stages. Deciding how many inputs can be made at the same time is a big one right now. Should actions come through a chain of menus, or should the actions be chosen from a number of available buttons at once?

Kind of proud to accomplish this robustly by only adding colliders to tile and object edges, and height as a non-collision variable painted over each tile. Objects themselves check for when to remove collision from themselves or the tile edges
