Today I worked on improving the gameplay loop for Pantry Reantry and focused on making the launch, crash, and respawn systems work properly.I added a respawn button that appears after the object crashes, allowing the player to try again without restarting the game. I also worked on fixing the camera so it doesn’t randomly teleport during resets and stays attached to the player object when needed.A big part of today was debugging the VFX systems. The reentry plasma and fire trail were having issues where they would start at the wrong time or keep existing particles after respawning. I worked on making the atmosphere trigger control when the effects activate, instead of them starting automatically when the object launches.There are still a few small VFX issues to clean up, but the overall reentry loop is coming together. The object can now launch, enter the atmosphere, activate the heat effects, crash, and be reset for another attempt.The next steps are finishing the UI and adding things like altitude, speed, heat, and survival stats to make the reentry experience feel more like a real game.
