Hey!

I've decided that I would start typing these small devlogs in here. After all, this account is my place to rant and be myself :) Plus, I got 2 mentions in the Haxe roundup. And one of them is...

LMAO

I want to change that! But... Lately my life has been quite messy. I don't go outside often, but this week has been one hell of a rush. It has left me with barely any time to work on my stuff, but honestly, that's good. I needed that break! Either way though, I still want to focus on Sushi Cats.

Asset madness

I'm going insane! I've decided that I would completely remake every visual aspect of the game. I'm very bad at pixelart, and until that changes...

Sushi Cats was never the type of game that goes well with some pixelart. Pixelart is for small, cozy games. Sushi Cats ain't about that. It has pretty big graphics, since there's very little in the screen. I've been working on a pause menu and new keybinds... Keybinds that completely broke the game!!

movement() is fucked

After an attempt to change the movement mechanics of the game (in order to actually have win/lose conditions, and gameplay), I messed up. :( I'm still solving that issue.

After that big overhaul (that originally had the goal of cleaning up the code), that eventually killed my game, I started thinking of changing my workflow. I have set myself some goals, but I think that I'm not paying attention to learning anymore, but rather speedrunning games. Sushi Cats has come pretty "far" for what it is. With far, I mean, in development. The game still resides in the middle of nowhere. But I think that I haven't been paying attention. Like I let myself just slowly learn along the way, using methods that I still don't get, and eventually breaking stuff without knowing why or how to fix it.

What now?

I think that I'm pausing the development of it for a bit. With a bit, I mean, until I can actually think critically and not resort to just asking for help at 4 AM in the server. I'm kinda about to complete the HF tutorial (no, I haven't done it yet! xD), which will definitely help me know what not to do while extending a FlxTypedGroup!

That's it for now, really. I kind of just wanted to give an actually decent rant that doesn't leave me like a moron during the round-ups lol (thank you, whoever makes them <3)

Good day!
