Status update 6/2020

It came to my attention recently that tumblr has ghost banned my blog. Therefor it is pointless to keep posting there.

In this time of mass censorship it's best to have another platform. I signed up for a Wix account to try it out since my web hosting finally expired. Wix seems user friendly enough and its drag and drop interface will allow me to avoid having to re learn html. I haven't gotten around to building the site, but will post when I do.

And in game dev news.....



I hit another wall. The problem is I changed the way animations are played from the tutorial I was following and created a new problem for myself. Instead of a top down view I went with a side view and the tutorial uses a nav node in Godot by rotating the node in the direction it's going. I'm sure there is a solution out there, but I'm going to change gears and try another tutorial instead of trying feverishly to solve this problem. I just don't understand the nav 2d node well enough (yet) to start attacking this in a constructive way.

So before I loose my drive I'm going to take step back and work on anther tutorial. This one is a Diablo clone. It has a section on nav 2d and it looks like it implements it the way I wanted to. Anyway I'm going to create custom assets before I do the tutorial that way I can actually release something after I'm done.
