and I have to add the correct sprite in code then :D

I guess I can try out the beta and see how stable that is

uh well the bevy plugin doesn't seem to support it anyway 😬

Ah. Aw well, we can live with that wonkiness for the first iteration or two at least.

I mean we eventually probably wanna have an ingame editor anyway.. LDtk seems cool, but I feel like it's claiming to be a lot more than it actually is.. it has some cool features, but basic ones are pretty rough sometimes :P

True. It’s just good practice to avoid those sorts of tooling jobs whenever possible when building the v0.0.1 (proof-of-concept). But as long as we start very small, editor features can be added at-will.

While the game should be playable without any custom building/terrain placements (I.e. fixed visual upgrades, HoMM style) we might as well play around with it as an optional feature, since we’re building a minimal editor for it regardless.

How do you imagine building this editor then? There are a few different options floating around: egui, raui, iced, ui4..

hmm I'd figure using a very very simple ui mostly just having ghost versions in the world you can place. I don't think it needs a lot of UI tbh. and I'd try to do it with bevy_ui if I can

Did you put any sort of poc together?

still working on it. I had a last minute travel that came up this past weekend which is when I usually have the most time for side projects

@erlend I'm back to this channel. BTW eweilnau won't be able to continue with the project for family reasons

I've been studying insolation, irradiation and reason for sunrise/sunset changing light spectrum 🤪

To add day/nighttime conditions

Welcome! 🙌

I’ve just returned from some travels as well, as mentioned in #926269242515546123

What do you think about trying to use the Shotcaller assets?

If you @XBagon still have some interest in this you are of course welcome to participate once more.

I think this is the repo we’re discussing: https://github.com/carrot-spillage/kingdom-sim

I have a lot of things I'm trying to work on atm, but sure if there's something I feel like I could do well(?) or sounds like great fun I'm in :P

oh nice :)

Looks like the web demo still works too: https://631f86a40a7e925d8a3a756b--lovely-lily-9d991e.netlify.app

Or these, which might be even more fitting thanks to the resource-gathering assets: https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords

Ohhh those are soo cute

I'm finally mostly done with sun/moon/lighting stuff. Moving on to weather conditions 🙂 https://adorable-starlight-f9dd0a.netlify.app/
