In today’s stream, I went through the learning process for adding more furniture to the my game. Also, I tried to figure out how to make the cat path-find their way between the cat bed and litter box.
To give me something to have the cat path to, I added a litter box and cat bed. The litter box was created using pixelit. That was pretty cool and gave me something usable to be a litter box in there. I want to eventually make it so that when the cat is in the litter box, you just see a pair of glowing eyes or maybe the box shakes a little. Next, I added a cat bed. I drew that in libresprite by tracing an image of a cat bed that I found online. It didn’t come out terrible, but I clearly need a better artist when we’re getting close to releasing this.
The only frustrating part of the stream came when I tried to make the cat automatically move between the bed and the litter box. I tried to make it so that the cat couldn’t walk thru the furniture, but I couldn’t get it working. I don’t understand how collision / path finding works – I need to read up on this when I’m not streaming so that I can be more familiar.
Thanks for tuning in!
