Stinky feet: The adventure of BigFoot | DEVLOG #2


Hello there, my name is Strahinja and I am a game developer now!

Kind of...

I thought I had it all covered!

Wishlist me on Steam!


The footage was there, the audio was much better than last time, I had script and code snippets to show you, possibly a small tutorial too.

And then I had to drop everything, and move to the new apartment with my girl. A few days ago, I took a look at the material I had for this and it was a steaming pile of crap… And will never, NEVER see the light of day!

So without further ado to my new and shiny stuff.

I am working on a really low spec machine, and performance issues get really obvious really fast. And I have a looot of rigid bodies loaded in my scenes. Every droplet is a rigid body. 

And I Was not destroying them so I went on to fix it only to find that, I have already done this… And now I have it in two places the exact same two lines of code…

And I do not want to dwell on the past so I moved on.

There is this annoying feature I implemented a long time ago.

When the player aims and shoots a pinkie at the enemy the pinkie velocity depends on how far from the player the mouse pointer is. I had different ideas on how to solve it, and to be honest all of them were crap. And nothing worked. So I used the simplest thing I should have used in the first place. Normalize input using normalize function. 

I also implemented something new.

You see you were able to spam pinkies like crazy, and it was fun.

So naturally, I decided to limit the rate at which you can launch a pinky projectile.

I spent some time on it, and thinking about how to implement this limitation and just decided to implement it as a coroutine and a boolean that reflects the state of the pinky, you know, is it launchable or not.

I had dozens of issues here due to bad code I wrote and some shortcuts I used while typing out the jam version of the game.

I spent hours on it and the final result is…

MEH… 

I am going to remove it, it sucks as a game mechanic, it really does. And it makes the game not fun.

Aaand here we are after weeks of moving stuff that I will probably end up tossing away and few more weeks of procrastinating I am about to continue working on Stinky feet!
