So over the last month or so, I’ve experienced a lot and I’ve sadly forgotten about my blog. Maybe because it hasn’t gotten that much attention yet but sure. Anyway I’ve found out that I have a liking for algorithms. Namely c++ and python. I will update my blog more often but this is all I have for now. Cheers!

So currently I have a top down, rpg sorta game that has enemies (with some ai), walls and basically the skeleton of a game. I’m planning to add more gameplay features as of right now. Today I added a new feature – water. As common as this may seem, I believe that it is an essential part of a lot of games. Making it wasn’t hard, but it wasn’t easy either. I faced plenty of bugs regarding collisions and movement speed but it worked out in the end. Hopefully I can polish this a bit more and make other objects also get affected by the water.

As you can see here, you also have a stick for melee attacks and hp was getting attacked. I plan to add way more weapons as i intend them to be the main “thing” of the game.

Update:

I have added several other game mechanics such as a key feature where the player can pick it up. I’ve also added a feature where the player can see that they picked up the key – this can be seen next to the hp GUI. I plan to add a new type of enemies tomorrow!

Thank you for reading today’s gram of the day.

I’m not the type of person to write pointless lines of oh my first blog post or anything, however, I am also the type of person to not keep my promises.

In the future i will be writing about my journey through programming, however quick reminder that I am not new to programming. I started learning python several months before and a bit of c++, I’ve also taken a lot of interested in game development, especially gamemaker studio 2. However, this time i want to take things more “seriously” so in pursuit of that, I’ve created a blog for absolutely no reason. Anyway I hope people somehow stumble across my blog and read my stuff!
