Coffee isn&#8217;t the same without real milk. That oat stuff just isn&#8217;t a substitute. I&#8217;ll get more cow&#8217;s milk when the time comes. Morning has been fairly good so far, I got up earlier than yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday was the perfect day almost. I got to play w Plum a lot, he was very cuddly today yet I also didn&#8217;t find myself too distracted and got a LOT of work done on Mr Rex. I knew this was my last day to do any big works on the project. I upgraded the shine sparking, it was the biggest cognitive challenge I&#8217;ve had for a while. It was so satisfying when It worked though, I had to look up a formula to calculate whether a point in 2d space was on one side of a line or another. I would use this so that the &#8220;shuttle&#8221; that moves Mr Rex&#8217;s super shinespark flight path along the ground would wait for Mr Rex to pass it while going around inward slopes, this way Mr Rex would&#8217;ve offset or move awkwardly when going around the curve corners of a slope. Slopes that turn inwards are simply dealt with via the shuttle being ahead of Mr Rex all the time and turning before he hits the wall ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also added Obapreed to Mr Rex after all this time. Flat colours still but at least I got something. The cutscene is improved immensely by this. I think he could use some animation though. We&#8217;ll see what I can do long term to improve all the &#8220;placeholder&#8221; things I have in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also created the hub room for Ep4 and the cutscene for Fay, Landers and the new character Wolfgang. A Styracosaurus who&#8217;s sort of eccentric, a nutter and says German words sometimes. He&#8217;s already a great sort of comic relief character which is well timed for this point in the story where there&#8217;s melodrama everywhere. The episodes do get funnier before things turn darker in the later episodes again. Ebs and flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all I had time for, it was A LOT OF PROGRESS though. Today I&#8217;d like to polish a few things and finish those prologue images if I can. So that they&#8217;re at least not too obviously work in progress and not placeholders. I&#8217;ll get there soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, here&#8217;s to today. Prologue, Polish, Trailer and Uploading the EXE file to SAGE. I hope it&#8217;s not too late. Even if I miss out on SAGE for whatever reason, I&#8217;m happy I made all this progress. I&#8217;ve felt very fulfilled working on Mr Rex and making progress. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello. Good morning. Coffee isn&#8217;t the same without real milk.
