So I Finally Got To Making A Small Video For Pearlessential. Like The Game, It Was Overscoped And I Spent

Aug 20, 2021

Punting everything over from twitter is a bit tedious. At least reposting everything slowly gives me time to make things I should've made while wasting time... I guess?

Oh yea I guess take a look at this super old UI, it looks different now... in the future. Well if I ever get to implementing it instead of tweaking it left and right

Psuedo2D

A dump of some things. I briefly mentioned how I had rewrote the game in Godot 4. During the transition I decided to give up on pure 2D and just make a 3D game that looks 2D... so in my own words, pearlessential is now a Psuedo2D game. Here are some captures from early in the transition.

Overworld VFX

might get rid of the half circle on the bottom.

May 4 - May 6, 2022

New dirt path tileset, some mockups, and a door.

Terrain Stuff

I had to model this... with a blender! ridiculous.

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.

Camera Zone

Made this invisible trigger to move the camera around. All it does is tell my camera to focus on a new position and has settings to create a new focus point between the player and a defined position around the trigger. The transition could use some work tho haha.

What makes you passionate enough to decide to keep working on your game?

I really want to play my own game. Making all the art for it while frustrating is still enjoyable. Maybe a tiny bit of sink cost fallacy.

...never make art first? Nah if i didn't do the art I would actually have zero motivation to code. This is like really basic stuff for a jrpg/rpg but I guess it only took 6 months?
