More State Machines For Rex's Ranch
Spending more time changing the state machines in Rex's Ranch for fun and profit. Well... just fun I guess, there's no profit here and there won't be if I keep refactoring my state machines instead of implementing the game.
Improving the Finite State Machine
So I've been working at my actual job that actually brings in money, and we've been looking at using finite state machines for some of the things we're building right now.
Respawning Debris
Debris now comes back overnight, which will be a good thing once you can get materials from it, but for now is just a minor annoyance.
Using a Finite State Machine for Farmer Behaviours
Early on in development I swapped out my finite state machine implementation with a Behaviour Tree for the farmer, but I think there's room for both.
Unlocking Crops
Not all crops are unlocked at the start of Rex's Ranch, and now there's a system that will let you unlock them.
Introducing Rex
Rex's Ranch is a dinosaur-themed farming simulator, but up until now there weren't really any... well... dinosaurs. That has been remediated. Meet Rex!
Rex's Ranch Farming System
The farming system for Rex's Ranch is finally complete! Well... it's "complete". It'll probably never be *finished* finished, but the core gameplay loop around farming is now complete.
Rex Remix Games Website Launch
The Rex Remix Games website has launched! You know it's getting serious now because websites cost money, so I've got a vested interest in completing things now.
Rex's Ranch - Devlog 1
New year, new game! Rex's Ranch is my latest brainchild that this time will hopefully be both fun, and easier to finish than my other games from the past several years. Time will tell - my money is on "yes", and "no", in that order.
Tweening Labels in Godot 4
Tweening labels is a fantastic way to add flair to your game’s UI, and adopting a component-based architecture makes it a breeze to reuse these effects across multiple areas of your project without duplicating code.
I'm Not Going to Publish a Game This Year
So it turned out I did kind of lie when I said I was going to publish a game this year. In that I haven't, I won't, and maybe I shouldn't?
Jurassic Jump (Working Title)
I lost steam. So here I am doing the same old thing again, but maybe this time it will be different.
Jurassic Idlevolution Devlog 2
I haven't had much time to work on the game recently but this game is definitely more game now, for real.
Jurassic Idlevolution Devlog 1
I am on a metaphorical roll here, doing stuff every day. Jurassic Idlevolution has inched closer to completion, though not by a huge amount. But slow and steady might win this race.
Paws of Destiny - Devlog 1
Paws of Destiny is what you get when you mix an ambitious child that loves dogs with a weak-willed father who can't stay on task for more than two days.
Jurassic Idlevolution (Working Title)
Riding the wave of new year motivation and getting as much of this game done in as short a time as possible before I lose steam.
I'm Going to Publish a Game This Year (Probably)
It's a new year and that means a new chance to tell ourselves new lies, and some old ones too. My big lie this year is that I'm going to publish a game, something I've been meaning to do for many years now.
