Finally, a new devlog!! This one took sooo long to make. It's really hard when I have to split my time between a thousand things, and game development takes a lot of time in general, but here we are! I would love to hear what you think about the progress we've made on the game in this one. And if you're new here, do you like the idea of "Hooked"?

Love the idea❤❤ But I have an idea for the cooking, how about if you make cake or something like that you can decorate it with some things you’ve collected like berries icing and other things!

One suggestion. When it comes to the level design, I suggest grouping objects together instead of spacing them out evenly. Put stuff like mushrooms or small stones near larger objects like fallen logs and rocks, bushes near trees, etc. And group trees together more densely in some areas. If you have things too evenly distributed, it just looks contrived and unappealing. Things tend to naturally group together in reality. Use it to sorta fade larger objects into the scene with incrementally smaller objects leading away. Use props and foliage to frame the paths and areas the player is expected to navigate, like you would with a fence. A cozy game should be relaxing to look at, random/chaotic prop placement will subconsciously make people feel stressed. Definitely something to look into, as there is more psychology put into level design than people think. Its also very important for the vibe and presentation of the game. I'm both an artist, and have some experience in level design, so thankfully I at least have some sort of idea of what I'm talking about here lol. Your art and style looks great btw! Very professional looking! I'll have to keep up with your devlogs!

Hey G7ue, thank you so much for your feedback and for liking the art! You bring up a really valid point here. I honestly never thought of that as a problem, but I completely agree with you. All the trees, logs, mushrooms, and bushes were placed almost at random, and that makes everything look a bit chaotic. I'll definitely have to do some research on map design and better understand how those things work, and then update the map as well. Thanks again for your feedback, I appreciate it a ton! 😊

I think you have a winner here. The graphics look beautiful and your vision is perfectionist and well thought, there is no doubt this could be a great success! It will take a few years to have a proper game done, but I think this will be your rocket launch as a successful game developer. You'll just have to fight burnout and time passing by.

It's interesting to follow your gamedev log. This is gamedev theory upside down. You create something that looks good first before even thinking about the type of game you'll make. This gives you constraints right of the bat, which can be a good or a bad thing. It can force you to think creatively with the options at your disposal. It can also limit your freedom preventing you from creating something really unique. This is not the wrong or the right way to do it, that's what makes it so interesting. Keep it up!

Neat update showcase, especially editing. The fairly long required time for the grid priority pathfinding, sprite visualisation hierarchy and some other comparatively basic concepts suggest that one or two game-development courses according to the game would be suitable.

@@LostGameDev check the distance between the player and the rain droplet that hit the ground (this can be precomputed). use the direction of that resulting vector to pan the audio accordingly. use the vector norm to adjust the volume of the droplet sound accordingly. something along the lines of that. edit: you can even get a little crazy and implement sound filtering based on the distance vector, but that's probably overkill.

You could repurpose your old movement system as a command system for controlling NPCs or pets. I imagine having a dog that follows you by default; but you can also click on the screen and your character makes a little whistle sound and the dog goes to where you clicked. Maybe there can be some simple tasks that a pet can do for you (like fetch/pick up items from the ground or search an area)

I just came across the video and it caught my attention! Although selling for a higher price with train could be a nice way to have players keep playing to maybe build the train or train station I thing having the products being sold localy for more money but take longer to sell and have the train be faster and instant would be a good balance while keeping the building aspect of the train station

@LostGameDev

Hey, thanks for the suggestion - sounds like a good idea! I'll note it down and we'll see how well it fits into the game when I implement the train.😊

My solution to your pathfinding problem is to get rid of the pathfinding entirely, move back to a wasd directional movement, but everytime the player presses a button to move in a direction by one unity, send a raycast to that point to check your logic for if that point is a spot it can move to and then cancel the movement and animation if it can not walk in that direction, which can be very easily accomplished if you make your movements a looping while true coroutine with a break or return inside of it based on a condition, would only take a couple of functions to pull off and the end result is a hybrid solution to your desire to not use colliders. Another solution would have been to fake the 2D isometric environment while having it actually be a 3D environment where each tile is actually a cube with an isometric sprite as its child that faces the camera, setting it up to align visually exactly like how it would if you just placed them in 2D and making sure that the cubes you place that are behind other objects get their child sprite destroyed or culled or something automatically so you can easily prototype the level without having to constantly check to see if you are wasting memory by having sprites sit behind other ones that wont even be visible and therefore also avoiding z writing issues automatically due to the nature of the 3D space.

In fact, it's something I've already been working on since the last update, and I'm planning to highlight it in the upcoming devlog. As a little sneak peek: there's a completely dynamic weather system in Hooked on the way, where clouds always have unique shapes. They change size and shape dynamically at runtime based on the weather and time, and that fixes all problems you mentioned.

loving the visual! maybe you could try making the clouds shadow bigger but more transparent, anyway everything is looking amazing

Hey, thank you very much! I'll try that for the clouds and see if I like it. Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️

If you ever decide that WASD movement would be better after all, you can use an edge collider 2D to wrap a collider around an object. Should work in isometric.

Hey, thanks for your suggestion. As I mentioned in the video, we're going to stick with WASD movement for now. As for the colliders, I believe the issue can be solved using either 2D edge colliders or polygon colliders but I opted for the second option. Haven't encountered any problems so far, but we'll see if I need to change it in the future.😊

That's so amazing I'm impressed how professional this is.. I hope the game also take ideas from ( Moonlighter) .. And also Final goal like (Oxygen not included) .. (Dinkum) is also a Great reference. I'm just saying that because I want the game to succeed it's really fabulous. Elite Supporter on the way 😍💗💗💗
