Lost in Magic
@lostinmagic.bsky.social
creating my own game (roguelike) and journaling it here
Pinned
so i'm working on my own game called lost in magic (for now), i'll post my progress here every few days and sometimes weeks as a way to stay motivated, do note that everything i show here is up to change and i'm a learning pixel artist, game dev, and musician(even if i haven't started making music)
i think i'm gonna rewrite most of the code on a new project even if that set me back by a bunch because right now i keep encountering random errors

#gamedev i don't think i talked about much of how i plan the gameplay to roll out so i'll do it now.
the game will be divided into 3 "classes", i don't have specific names for them as of right now but the idea for them are the following :

yesterday i drew some stuff for the tileset thinking i had everything covered but i guess i should've checked first because i realized i have quite a lot of stuff that's missing + i had a mishap with the tileset so it looks kind of weird + some other annoying stuff

might also join a gamejam to test my knowledge but i'm not too sure about that yet since i've started doing some stuff irl aside from working on this project

it's finally done ! my dungeon can generate itself, close the doors that lead to nothing and remove rooms that collides with themselves.
i need to do quite a lot of polish on the code though as it's pretty messy, same for the tileset, i'll post a video next week (?)

i'm starting to realize i should've done the generating part of the code later when i'd have a better understanding of the code but i'm so close rn so i'm pushing through, all i need is to make the rooms close if they lead to nowhere but i need to edit tilemap through code which i've never done

alr little progress made overall on the coding side of things, i've finally managed to make the code create rooms until it runs out of budget (seemingly) everytime which means that i'm getting closer to finally finishing it, i just hope i didn't get lucky 20 times in a row lol

i coded for abit today, also, i'm gonna stop posting everyday, instead i'll only post when i'll have something intresting to share, that way the page will looked a little bit more clean

drew some more today, i think i'm gonna start drawing some more on the other days so i get better a bit faster

drew a bit, animated too, nothing i'm satisfied enough to show tho

today was rest day but i still felt like coding some more so i did just that, the algorithm works maybe every 1 time out of 5 ? #gamedev

almost forgot to post again today, technically no progress has been made but i tried a bunch of thing and i feel like i got a better understanding of godot rn, i also think i'll manage to make the code better than anticipated so that's a plus

found a code pattern today that's alright, hopefully i can finish coding this by the end of the week but i think i'm on good tracks to finish next week at the very least.

forgot to post yesterday but i worked a bunch, tried to test some new stuff on what i had already done and i think i'm gonna change my approach

i'm really struggling with generation part of the code, i might try a different approach tomorrow if i don't find anything to make it work.
i might also exceptionally work on coding for the rest of the week until i make this work because it's starting to bother me

drew some doodles today, not really satisfied but i experimented with some stuff so i'd say it's not wasted effort

instead of drawing a character, i figured i'd draw an attack to change things up a bit, i'm kind of satisfied with it but i feel like it lacks something #gamedev

worked a little on fl today, finally found a good melody

imagine searching (almost) tree hours how to check something in your code while having an idea that just seems stupid and ending up using that same stupid idea and it working just fine
anyways, i think getting the room generation for this week was maybe a bit optimistic, surely next week tho

alr so today i got hit with a pretty big headache but i've finished writting out my code to spawn the rooms (i had a pretty clear idea on how it would work but not clear enough to translate it to code) #gamedev

made this little goober, i'm kind of happy with the design, i would probably put some more detail on his helmet but i'm kind of tired since i started drawing late today. anyways i think i should look into color theory because i don't find the colors i use that good

so i finished drawing him, i mostly spent time redrawing the crystals and changing the color of some stuff, next time i'll redraw him i'll probably use layer and try to add some texture to the dirt parts. i'd probably remove the pixels next to the crystals and use the game engine to generate some
