February Update + Animation Update
Added 2025-03-01 12:20:50 +0000 UTCHello Everyone, Here is an update for one of the Animations I am working on. I previously said that I am working on these commissions because I need to practice making cutscene art for my game. Essentially, I needed a warm up, as I wasn't used to drawing art with all the programming I have been doing.
I have taken this time to work on Backgrounds, Environments, Color balancing, and perspective. Amid my progress, I have considered the theme of the game and how to improve it.
Working in Godot has proven to be interesting... namely because the tutorials for other versions are outdated for 4.3, and many tutorials do not mention which version they are for either, so I basically add code, and it doesn't work, and the tutorial video doesn't explain what anything does lol, or has pre-established assets they never explain. In other words, I have been playing whackamole with a tutorial hell.
-But the good news is that I just need to learn:
-Enemy Movement
-Scene Reloading
-Leaving/Exiting Menu's (Pause Menu will not go away)
-Attack Abilities/ Projectiles
-Making Save Files for 4.3 that save time played, items, character location, and progress.
So I plan to soon start working on knocking these out one by one, and if I find the proper tutorials, it might take a few months. In the meantime, I will be working on these animation scenes as well. Now that my job isn't making me sore everyday. Sorry for the lack of updates. Tutorial Hell is just a wall, so if anyone has advice, you are welcome to give it.
