3:25 AM
hey all
 
How are you tonight?
 
I'm good, getting tired now, though.
 
Ohh yeah it's getting late.
I don't know why I thought Montreal was on the west coast. (I looked it up when you said you were tired.)
 
:)
I got up earlier, today, that does not help.
 
3:36 AM
no. What is earlier, for you
 
hmm, 5h15 I think
 
yeah that's early.
 
I'm also trying to reduce my coffee intake, so this hits to :P
 
I tried that once. It didn't take.
 
Yeah; even if I succeed now, it'll come back :P
 
3:43 AM
Every so often I do a purge just so my tolerance goes away.
When Im up to 6-8 cups of coffee a day without my eyeballs vibrating it means its time.
 
Yeah; that's a good sign :P I don't like to completely stop though, because of the headache :/
 
yeah I get that. That only makes me wish I could give it up forever.
I never do though, on account of 2 children and a career.
 
The headache goes away after some time, though. But then you only get to drink decaf... It's not bad per se, but it's not as available as normal...
 
I don't drink decaf. I'd rather drink water. Or Lemonade.
 
Because you can taste the difference?
 
3:55 AM
No because I only drink coffee for the caffiene
 
Ah ok!
Water is always a good alternative :P
 
It all tastes crap to me. (Okay there are some very tasty very expensive coffees out there, but I don't spend my money on em often.)
Or Red Bull
well Red Thunder. Because it's 1/5th the price
 
Oh I won't try to convince you that coffee is good ;)
Yeah, I'm sure that more than half of what you pay for a RedBull goes to fund other things, like advertisement and extreme sports events. A bit overpriced. And there are other energy drinks that taste better.
 
yup. I wonder if all that marketing pays off for them on the bottom line. Probably. They are extremely popular.
 
Yep!
Ok, I'll heading off to bed now :)
Good night!
 
4:08 AM
g'night
 
 
10 hours later…
2:37 PM
@Kay I'm deciding how the components are going to modify the bot's behavior ;D
Say the other bot shoots at one of your motors, the bot becomes slower and more difficult to move around
if you shoot at the motherboard, you win!
 
Destroy two on the same side and it can only spin in place
That looks nice though
 
@Kevin exactly and thanks :D
 
 
2 hours later…
4:48 PM
oki?
it just started clipping
oh well
 
 
2 hours later…
6:24 PM
I finished working on the laser :D
It now has cool fuel tanks that move like a liquid!
 
 
1 hour later…
Kay
7:51 PM
So you can destroy inner parts now and prevent funktions outer parts now ?
Did someone experience getting blurry text with TextMeshPro ?
 
8:27 PM
@Kay nope, not yet at least..
@Kay pretty much, yeah :D
 
Kay
The ping always scares the hell out of me. Keep doing that, keeps me vigilant
Is that planned ? Like the bot have innards ?
 
damn it
can't seem to upload the gif
btw i like pinging you :D To answer your question: Yes, bots will have motors, motor drivers(maybe), the motherboard and some other thingies
if you destroy the motherboard, the other bot wins; if you destroy the motor driver(s) the bot can't control its motors anymore and so on
You can still shoot though, so that's cool :P
Oookay, I think this does it for today! I made some pretty big progress, I can't wait to work on the bot :D #ArenaBots #gamedev #indiedev #thisliterallytookmeallday https://t.co/Q1WoN5pY1L
I'm also planning to add a map where you transform in a boat on the water (or underwater in two little submarines), but that's a little too advanced for now, i first want (and need) to do everything the best i can
 
Kay
8:52 PM
dont scopecreep :D
 
@Kay I... I love it
honestly dude, i do
it should probably have its eyes closed if it's sleeping though ahahaha
 
Kay
For the last time, I have a girlfriend. I don't even know you!
 
lol :D
 
Kay
Honestly though, that took like 5 minutes to make. But it does look neat :p
