Your logs have been getting stolen lately, so you need to keep them safely stored! Craft backpacks with unique materials to gain cool and creative backpacks! There are 6 backpacks in this update!
2 New forests! Welcome to the Bamboo and Pixel forest. They both have a really rare tree I heard, especially the Pixel Forest…
DOUBLED the amount of trees in the game! 5 NEW TREES!!!
9 NEW ITEMS! WOWWWWWWWWW!!! There are 6 backpacks and 3 tools to craft!
DASHING NINJA COLLAB! StarlightStudios is collaborating with… StarlightStudios? Yes, Dashing Ninja makes an appearance in this latest update!
Sell all button! Sell all of a log type by pressing this button twice!
Icon descriptions! Text is now next to buttons on the home screen for the first 3 seconds of the game to help new players.
Question marks in the recipe menu! If you haven’t discovered a tree type yet, the log will be a ? in the recipe menu. No more spoilers!
Thanks! I don’t think you saw the post in my update topic, but I only post really big updates here so you can check here for other updates if you want, and/or get tagged for them!
Added the ability to place other available triangles and fixed a couple bugs.
@t1_hopscotch I did find a bug in Hopscotch while updating the changelog of my own game: When you create a new line anywhere in the text, after a few seconds it immediately goes to the end of the string when it updates, rather than staying where it was. I experienced this with large strings of text, but it might also be occurring in any amount of text. I’ll have to test that out to be sure (edit: it does)
There was also a time where I deleted some math operators in a set variable, and the cursor was sent to the bottom of the list of rules (which would explain why the excessive scrolling was occurring), instead of directly below the block. I don’t have enough info to make a bug report on this, but I know it has to be very long where the whole block doesn’t fit the entire screen.
mission accomplished. trail-powered platformer. no physical objects, just trails (buttons shouldnt count lol)
i am officially publishing it because to continue my platformer idea, i need custom images, and therefore im breaking the rule of only-trails unfortunately :( that being said, i hope you enjoy this little project nevertheless :)
oh one last thing, shoutout to @C.H.Rissole for suggesting making the player a square, it’s draws the trails really really cool!
Anyone who wants to be tagged for updates to the demo please let me know.
Fixed a bug where the objects would completely ignore the triangles after turning to their right when colliding with a left wall. This was because they weren’t properly aligned on their x when they turned…
The objects will now correctly follow the pattern on the thumbnail.
Temporarily gave access to one of each fan (for the purpose of showing how each one works).
no lol its horrible without performance cleaning
now youre running at ~55fps but before when i started the project (there wasnt even a collision code!) the fps immediately dropped to 30
its interesting only in the trails it draws behind. i didnt showcase that but if i added screenshake the tiles also will have trails behind, make the screen… really shake lol
yea unfortunately the tiles are too small and the movements are too fast, and when multiplied with the frame adapter due to a fps spike you might clip through them:(
From experimenting with WWC, I saw that most of the lag was due to many variables executing on the same frame (surprisingly). The less of those there are, the better the performance will be.
And with many objects running the same code, it can hinder performance significantly (like it could drop to 8 FPS).
Fixed a bug where certain “triangle” counts in the inventory would not be restored when replaced with a different triangle. (Not sure how I missed that, lol)
What’s that little blue button I see? Could that be the new speed-up function? Why, yes it is.
I also fixed a few game-breaking bugs, especially when objects were very close together as they reached the goal (generally only happens if there are more than one spawner. Speaking of, spawners launching in other directions will also be added in a future update).
