First, some clarification. Just Beneath the Holler (JBtH) is the full top-down, 2D Zelda-like game I’m creating. It’ll be a few years before that sees the light of day. In the meantime, I’m making Beatdown in the Holler (BDitH), which is a combat-only, Link to the Past

One day, I will be able to accurately estimate what I can get done in a week. Monday was not that day. Did you know you can assign different elevations to specific tiles using Godot’s TileMap system? I didn’t until early Monday morning. It took some fiddling around

Another “storm of the century” forced me inside the last time I could fully devote a week to game development. This time, the weather is slated to be much more reasonable, but the goal remains the same: knock a lot off my to-do list. What is that to-do list, you

Do you want to talk about what I was able to accomplish this week? Do you want to that? Do you really want to do that? Fine. Let’s do that. I managed to hydrate and rest, so that’s cool. And I felt pretty good most of the week.

Hey, sooo, thanks for checking in on me, I know you’re excited to see how I’m doing, see what all I’ve accomplished since Monday, that’s truly kind of you and I appreciate it, yes, I’m feeling much better after prioritizing rest, oh, how much did

I’m still sick: technically, I’m more mucus than man at this point. However, breaking the chain isn’t on my to-do list for this week. The objectives that are on my to-do list, however, are: * Fix the reelshot elevation issue; * Force myself to complete concept art for Zel;

I’m fortunate that I got so much accomplished at the beginning of the week, because I absolutely did not do anything from Wednesday on. What I initially thought was a general “blah” feeling (hello, depression!) was actually the onset of a cold. I’ve spent the past three days

This week has been “feast or famine” in terms of what I’ve gotten done: I started the week by knocking out most of my coding objectives (the reelshot still ignores elevation) but slowed down once my work duties started picking up again. I didn’t stop, mind you, as

I know, I know, one of my goals for this week was to add grapple posts to the Place Just Beneath but I figured, hey, the computer’s already open, I should just fire up Godot and see if I can hammer that out quickly. After fixing a few distance

Being iced into the house for most of the week is certainly a boon to productivity, and I made the most of that time to make solid progress on Just Beneath the Holler’s prototype. My objectives for this week were simple, though not easy: make a new tileset, use

It’s amazing what a week off of work will allow one to accomplish. I used last week’s terrain sketch and mood scene to create an initial tileset for the Place Just Beneath. By “initial,” I don’t mean “first tileset I made for Just Beneath the Holler,” I

It’s Sunday at 5:30 AM and we’re officially iced in. The roads, wet with the slushy mixture of ice, sleet, and rain which intermittently fell all day yesterday, are now coated in the treacherous slickness brought forth by intensifying sleet and plunging temperatures. We’re in this
