Camera Zone

Made this invisible trigger to move the camera around. All it does is tell my camera to focus on a new position and has settings to create a new focus point between the player and a defined position around the trigger. The transition could use some work tho haha.

Switches and doors... ignore the chest.

Quest System Cont.

Here is me playing through a short quest in an old tutorial room. I like this video since I engage with a lot of the mechanics I've been working on.

Ngl I kinda want to have combat take place on the same scene as exploration, you know Chrono Trigger/Sea of Starsy. However, to do that I'll need to do a lot of tweaking to my code and spend a lot of time redrawing enemy sprites I already made...

Tutorial Rooms

Both of these ended up getting scraped. oof

So I finally got to making a small video for pearlessential. Like the game, it was overscoped and I spent a bit too much time producing it, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

It also let me polish up my video producing skills which is nice.

Objective UI and Quest System

Mostly backend. As usual, it's a pretty jank system but it works. No quest markers atm but I've been considering them. I also want to look into optional objectives. This is the first time I've seriously considered how quest systems work and it's quite interesting. I need to find more references to study haha.
