And now for something completely different. Dialogue boxes! It's a rewrite of a Godot 3.3 box from my previous project, and is also built on RichTextLabel. It does letter-at-a-time, automatic line and page breaking, and allows for input breaks and variable speeds. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Transitions are now generalized! Any of the four cardinal directions work (and there's a fifth variety, for things like staircases and doors). Individual rooms can override transition logic, but if they don't, the default is to just "find a room to the N/E/S/W of me". #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Working on an interior scene, as it's part of the first major cutscene. Part of it calls for the player character to look into a mirror, which meant I had to figure out How To 2D Mirror. Very happy with the result though! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Had to fix up some of my reflection math. That meant reworking all the player character's secondary sprites' reflection offsets. Accidentally left animation interpolation on for the tail. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

The second is more exciting for me personally: a dialogue previewer! No more booting up the game just to see if my dialogue actually fits, or if it feels right! I reused my existing DialogueBox control with *almost* no changes. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Because my Player is made up of multiple sprites, I had to attach a Reflector component to each sprite. This had some interesting side effects at first... (Reflectors can now specify an offset to deal with this.) #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Let's see how Bsky compression handles... ...tiny enemy crab! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Screen transition! Just the one. It's hardcoded to work for Exactly That Screen, moving in Exactly That Direction. But the concept works! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Started working on Y-Sorting (i.e. allowing things to go behind other things). Realized I'd have to move *every* entity's relative position up one tile. Did so. Broke the *hell* out of pathfinding. Was forced to invent some better debugging visualizations. #indiegames

Couldn't resist tweaking it. Now it's perfect. Searches 6 pixels in either direction to find an open space. If it finds it, it gently slides the player over at 25% speed. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

The budget brought big changes to how wealth is taxed in Australia! Trusts will now pay a minimum 30% tax rate, which will raise around $4.4 billion a year, and reduce inequality. @grogsgamut.bsky.social @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol #Budget2026
