Sorry for the late blog post I had my finals last week and my brain is fried. Good news is that I passed all my classes (One class hasn’t finished grade but I’m assuming that I passed). The bad news is that I still have two more years to go. We have been play testing the current version of Gamma 19 and are making a lot of minor changes to improve the game. The demo for Gamma 19 is almost complete and we can't wait for you to try it out and give us your feedback.

Greenbean is now able to support the player by digging for health orbs (And more later). This ability can be activated by pressing the Tab key, and Greenbean will quickly dig through the ground to uncover hidden health orbs. This can be a useful tool in tight spots, allowing the player to quickly regain health and continue fighting. There is a 90 second cooldown before Greenbean can use her ability again.

The skills menu will allow players to manage their skills by assigning points to them. The menu is still in development, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek of what's to come. The skills system will be introduced in the next chapter of the game, when the player will have all their abilities unlocked. I used Godot’s built-in animation tools to create the menu animations which saved me a lot of time as I usually hard code these animations.

I added a simple objective UI that will update and notify the player of their current task. Nothing too special, but it makes the game a little better.

Here is a list of other changes made during this month:

• Added a spotlight to the Manny cutscene.
• Added a Defense hit effect for when an enemy has a defense mod.
• Added a way to change the player/Greenbean sprite when changing rooms. Currently used in the factory where the character shading changes.
• Reworked Greenbean to use state machines.

Not a lot for this month as I was wrapping up development to get the game to a playable state. The other two play tested it and have returned to me with a large list of small changes. So the December blog will have a lot to go over. Also, I used Chat GPT to generate most of this post which came in clutch as I have trouble coming up with how to write this post. Of course, I made changes, but it gave me a good foundation to work off (It words things in a corny way). If you have any questions, comments, concerns or testimonies let us know in our Discord.
