- GameKit is now properly referenced using AutoLoad's root node instead of directly inheriting the Node because it redundent. I'm still learning. xD
- Removed Global Menu
- New icon, song, and font
- Use the engine's lighting
- Version
- SVG Sixam wordmark
- We'll now using Godot's native UI elements along with a custom theme and fonts.
- Changing to the character's clothes is now done by referencing the instanced node instead of the game screen. You no longer have to blindly guess where to put the placeholders from in clothes scene because the placeholders are already there for changing.
- Classic mode now has it's own copy of the character node. This was the reason for the original setup.
- Disabled some debug warnings
- Window is now resizable and will respect aspect ratio
- Credits screen
- Global menu, WIP
Up until this point, this game still relied heavily on my copy of ZC's Dress Up for editing and creating new sprites so they properly match the look and feel. The only reason why it's not included in the source code is because the format is proprietary and Adobe's editor doesn't work with all platforms that Godot does. That is unfair when the whole goal of this project to remove Flash from the equation.
This remaster aims to remove that final need by remaking in an open format, whether it be an open source editor or format. I found that using SVG as is with Inkscape as the editor does the job well because Godot can render it without any extra steps required. I tried testing out Krita and Gimp but they didn't produce the results I wanted.
- Redid the wordrobe background which finally gives a chance to use Godot's native resolution, allowing for more screen real estate, and add more items.
- Removed the Classic option. It may return in the future.
- Recreated and replaced most pants from the original with the newer recreations
- Added debug settings to project
- Created assets folder for non-SVG art source files
The character in this dress up game is now a cat and named Nathan. This is because my original style unintentionally made him look like a cat. His name change to Nathan from Zack is because I don't want to cause confusion between people who use to know me as Zack and my first fursona.
- New item for both modes: fundosi. This will be last new item in Classic mode due to the limitions in how it was designed.
- Certain assets for Classic mode have moved to the /classic directory.
- New accessories layor in Modern mode. The camera item to return. However, I had to get rid of the Clear [all] button.
- WinDialogs and GameKit are now autoloaded.
- StartScn was renamed to TitleScn.
- The boot splash (formally the game splash) is now transparent in order to let the game engine provide the background color.
- The Exit (to menu) and Settings buttons have been merged into a single Pause window that can be accessed by pressing Escape or Start/"Nintendo +" from the keyboard or game controllers, respectfully. Interacting with the game should be more user friendly and predictable now.
- Created a start screen with the game title in order to switch between Modern and Classic modes. I moved the credits and license buttons out of the About window and into this screen. The About window itself is gona now since it kinda redundant, anyway.
- Added more translations
- Framebuffer allocation set to 2D
- Use pixel snap
- Refined Zack base sprite and remove the static one
- Moved About, Credits, and Settings menu into a global menu
Oh boy, where to start? Zack has a tail again but it's animanted now. The background has been improved and simplfied in order to work better with the new interface. Outfits have been removed since the style makes them complicated with. Brought back previously deleted clothing and ported over new ones. There is now a "Clear" button in order to reset to the defualt. I'm also trying to figure out how to theme. Created a picture frame of "iCrazy". And so much more other little details and tweaks.
- Got rid of my custom windows for Godot's because I forgot the engine had those, for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well, at least it frees up a lot of unnecessary baggage and stress. Everything else is pretty much the same, aside from that.
- Created a new hidden "shell" interface. This was initially created for testing the new localization settings but can easily be extended for other purposes.
