I've been slacking on dev logs, mainly because initial burnout. Then a heatwave and 2 kids with no air con, no fancy fans, 32+ degrees in the office. GRIM. Plus side is I'm still chugging away, refining, adding, breaking.

🛠 What I Did

• Lost loads of fucking work because of a unity crash. Save your game project people! hit me twice! you find out shortly why. Wanker.
• Playlist of tracks to play
• Added in better menu items and gameplay elements
• Created a whole system for tagging to manage state in the game
• Fixed a mem leak.. jesus christ that was painful
• Created some ui elements for tagging
• Add dotween, started with juicy animations
• reworked the theme manager to work off a set of 5 colours that I'll generate usingcoolors
• Broke a whole bunch by having a different method to handle themes. Refactors are even more brutal when you have basically no idea what the code did in the beginning without looking over it, especially as someone with no unity and I'd probably say pretty shoddy C# knowledge.
• Signed up to gpt plus/pro/prime/..don't, I've generated a whole bunch of assets for the game as I do a big UI uplift. Hence the themes and animations
• Decided that this is probably 0.3.0 of the initial prototype. I think if I crack on for 6 weeks total I can see if I can get it to a good shape for people to try it out. Although this might all fall down because
• Hit my fucking Gemini cursor limit, 60 quid for a pro plus subscritpion.

🔮 What’s Next

• Maybe nothing for the next two weeks.. who knows
• Relic system, madea whole bunch of good relics to go in the game. No idea what they do yet but I'm sure painfully staring at them until something pops up will do
• continue refining the first theme that is handling all of my colours in the game.
• Another rework of the game panel, it's minor, just moving some tertiary panels to buttons for new screen for runes relics and your tile deck.
• more juice. I've only done the initial into. there's no footage of it yet, but sooon!.. kinda
• Try and figure out the code base so far, two weeks of reading code and toying with it until Gemini comes back. Even if I get 2 weeks of Vibing and 2 weeks of learning that's a big win!
• Continue to appreciate that I've done 2 weeks of game dev, every day without fail. I've fucking loved it.
