Created the battle layout. How big the enemies are going to be is up in the air, but I loves me some chunky pixels. Hoping to spend some time getting the backbone of the system up and running next.

Ran into an interesting bug/feature where doing a ToString() call from the JSON library I was using put quotes around the text. That caused some issues and was not an obvious fix at first. But hey, the inventory is actually working now. Well, not entirely becuase as you can see the "Stats" menu is ""selected"",

Okay, so I am not exacrtly displaying the items yet, but the layout is ready and the inventory system is in place. I did not have the time to plug them into one another yesterday, but otherwise things are looking fairly good on that front. The more research I do into Good Unity Standards™, the

One thing I missed about coding every day was the moments I spent not coding. Instead of my mind filled with worries of things out of my control, I find myself musing over bits of code I couldn’t work out. And doing so I worked out the way to add unique tags to tiles on

Unity’s tilemap engine has its issues. I can’t quite figure out the best way to tie unique IDs to individual tiles. For example, the pot below says it is empty if the player interacts with it, but any pot would do that. Or any pot could give an item once, but then every other pot

Actually did some work today. Mostly it was spending a lot of time banging my head against how to do collisions until I realized I was forgetting something simple. Whoops. Still, I have a movable player character now, and collisions can be drawn onto the map. Next goal is to get map interactions done, and

Shame! Shame, shame shame! It was my birthday. And I celebrated. I did not code. Hopefully days like this will be few and far between. But, like in the Bible, I had needed rest on this day.

I actually did not open my computer this day. For shame! But I did at least make some notes in my phone about what I want to implement next. Forgive me. I am drunk and full of sreak.

If I fail with this project it is probably because right now I am scrambling around, trying to do anything and everything. If I succeed with this project it is probably because right now I am scrambling around, trying to do anything and everything. "Motivation" doesn’t exist. If you wanted to do something, it would

I installed a JSON package into Unity so I could start making equipment and items. This is the part of making a game I love. There’s something fun about dumping a bunch of data out and then getting to the adjusting phase. There is some rust I am getting rid of, but it still surprises
