Weekly update 10

Well. First time updating my proyect here but this is the 10th week. First one in itch.io

The gif in question is done now in the game engine

Thats the "Hero"'s first appearance btw. Did some conceptual art and suffered some creativity block at it. Also I may or may not have wasted a couple of days gaming

So the struggle I had to pass to get here was nasty. First the art block then I finished a couple sprites for abilitites then I was ready to face a roadblock I identified some months ago. The feature of zooming-in the animated sprites and pan the screen and do fancy stuff. Too bad for me. Spend 5 days trying to figure it out with various degree of failures until I decided today afternoon to just do it all manually. I even asked for help in a forum. Imagine asking for help amaright!? No one replied tho...

Turns out that all the sprites are considered part of the UI and the default behavior of the camera is to not interact with them. I found a way to move all the sprites as a group but tours out I was not able to separate the sprites from the images that I will eventually use for the interface, also when I moved the "camera" everything collaped in the same spot so it was feature that  I could not fix and created more issues. This last one was an extention someone did 3 years ago. The engine is not very popular after all so not much developing was done for it. So I'm doing all manually with some shortcuts like instead of outputing the coordinated manually i'll be using variables with allow me to use them as pointers.

Now we start with the fun part. Getting all stuff together and making the game come to life!

Currently working on the machine to update the sprites at every turn. Already works btw

Pretty exited for whats next to come ngl

See ya!
