Feb 2024 Update

I was in the middle of implementing the shop just before finalizing the last dev log updated, but decided to just omit that information since I wasn't finished.

The shop is finally done. All items currently in the game can be bought at the temp shop. All tools are being sold for 0 G until I make a crafting system. The shop will be replaced in a later update by another NPC that will actually sell useful stuff and probably will have quest/story too.

Since I totally forgot about the axe, I went ahead and added that in the game now. I’ll likely make the trees non-chopable for the time being and just have stump nodes that spawn in the field and other places.

The next thing I went to work on was the farming tiles. Thankfully I solved the problem of having the dirt show and blend into the next tile in a prototype I previously made,… And for some reason implementing this solution was a lot harder than it should be, mostly due to me having constant derp moments for coding problems that should have been a breeze (I’m blaming all that damn snow, crappy weather and my plugged sinuses!).

The next goal is to get the crop artwork done and get the mechanics working. I’ll probably get this done before the end of the month, but I don’t feel like doing a dev log in the middle of the week and I don’t want to wait until next month to post a dev log

And that’s all for this month. Although progress was made, I cant help but feel this month was a washout due to dealing with snow shoveling and bodily issues related to drastic weather changes.

Until next month.
