(v0.1.2(A)-alpha) Watch Tower Texturing (1.1): Yay so i moved on to the texturing part of the watch toweeeeerr. Just made the door for now but I will accelerate the work from tmrw trust Lapsed

(v0.1.1(Q)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (11): oh my gosh! im done with the modelling! well i mean i may add the window margins stuff later but yeah! i am now starting the texturing! i made the glass and experimented with some stuff Lapsed

(v0.1.1(P)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (10.4): ok i am being for REAL right now. and u HAVe to believe me when i say that i am FInALLY COMPLETE with the freaking fencing stuff i am NOT doing that again 💀 ok now the only thing left is the window panes and THEn i can finally move on to the texture- Lapsed

(v0.1.1(O)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (10.3): hell yeah! completed the guard rails– now uhh some more fences are remaining i promise it wil be done very soon im trying my bestttt Lapsed

(v0.1.1(N)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (10.2): Made another layer of guard rails beside the stairs - yeah just that 💀 i have no more words to write here Lapsed

(v0.1.1(M)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (10.1): I might work again later after coming back from art classes- but im not sure as i have some tuition work to do :( I also have some pending ssignments! yikes!!! anyways here’s what i did: Made the rails of the stairs with some bars - first and second stairs. did some desmos stuff- Lapsed

(v0.1.1(L)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (9.3): Joined a lot of meshes together for efficiency and ease of use. Oh also made the raining v1 for the first layer of the stairs. I have my prize distribution and investiture ceremony so yeah! see ya laterrrrr Lapsed

(v0.1.1(K)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (9.1 + 9.2): 1. omg omg omg! stairs in progressssss! Made two flights of stairs- what i mean is i made one flight of stairs and then copied it 💀 Anyways I’m almost done with the modelling i think- The stairs and the windows are the only things are left (oh maybe more optimization :p) 2. Added much More stairs and the topmost layer. I will make the integration of the stairs to the floor tommorow, ALSO i will add the railings and all tmrw I am sleepy as frick! Lapsed

(v0.1.1(J)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (8): Wow! what a productive session! Ok so a lot of thing was done. Here’s what i did in short: The legs of the watch tower was made before but in this session i added the supports and support beams! i again followed the model as an inspiration and made the supports! Looks prety cool! Lapsed—

(v0.1.1(I)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (7): Nothing much just edited the fences a bit and resized them in order to prevent overlapping. Oh also I made the roof – needs polishing ik but its a start lmao- i want to complete the modelling as soon as possible lwk- Lapsed

(v0.1.1(H)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (6): Yoo moving from vertices selection to something different felt awesome! anyways i made the fence? i think thats what its called- On all four sides. I am following a model for inspiration and im pretty happy on how it is turning out! Lapsed

(v0.1.1(G)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (5.3): FINALLY FINALLY! I have completed optimizing the walls of the watch tower. What i mean is I reduced the number of vertices and faces in the model. This will help me immensely while texturing the UV. I created another backup just in case lmao Lapsed

(v0.1.1(F)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (5.1 + 5.2): I tried cleaning up the Watch Tower model but idk how it all got messed up anyways I will try again ONE LAST TIME tommorow if it works it works otherwise i have to roll back to the backup and just forget about cleaning up- i messed up yeah Lapsed

(v0.1.1(E)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (4): erm so nothing productive just me fixing the HUMONGOUS number of vertices that have been created for god knows what. Lmfao i messed up at the end and i have to go back to the last backup Oh well i have tuitions now will do more stuff later Lapsed

(v0.1.1(D)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (3): Ah yes, guess why there is no lapse for this update- thats right! Lookout messed up and I cannot recover the lost footage and publish it in lapse. I lwk forgot what i did in this update 💀 You are gonna guess it

(v0.1.1(B&C)-alpha) Watch Tower Modelling (1&2): Guess who forgot to commit THATS RIGHT ITS ME- In this lapse I made the skeleton of the watch tower that is going to be the main attraction of the prologue. I do not have much time and hence i am ending this session prematurely! See you tmrw! More modelling of the watch tower, made the top thing the uhh room? ig tested the model size with the player size in godot and i found that it was a bit small so i fixed that! Made some windows for the watchtower so that everything is visible Lapsed

(v0.1.1(A)-alpha) Improved Silhouette Mechanics: oh my! it looks so sick! il definitely play test this once more but heres what i did in brief: Previously there used to be different silhouttes but NOW theres only one that “teleports” when u reach it as if guiding you somewhere – to the watchtower :3 Lapsed

(v0.0.10(E)-alpha) Map Redesigning (4): I think i am done with the forest/map layout for now im pretty happy! plugged off some paths that i didnt want the player to go through- removed a ton of legacy code. Next up i think ill work on the silhouette mechanics which i cooked up in the new narrative! wish me luck! Lapsed

(v0.0.10(D)-alpha) Story + Map Redesigning (3): Again one of the shortest lapses i have made but its enough for me to get the 1 hour streak lmao- I promise Ill work honestly from tmrw, Exams finished just today and im exhausted asf- Please excuse me! Made updates to the story too

(v0.0.10(C)-alpha) Story + Map Redesigning (2): So as i am changing the narrative i need to update the map accordingly, A very small update because my mouse stopped wrking but oh well i just changed some textures and added trees. Also making a story narrative in 2nd person ig? Lapsed

(v0.0.10(B)-alpha) Story Redesign (1): Brainstormed a lot of stuff- and rewrote the prologue storyline- the old one was pretty basic i like the new one more and I mostly changed it because i am thinking of the next chapter too and i want a seamless transition- just hang on with me ill cook something truly epic :3

(v0.0.10(A)-alpha) Map Redesigning (1): I think im going to go on a different direction with the prologue scene! i changed the pathways because i think it was too complex and looping- I am also thinking of turning the log cabin into an watch tower for more ominous feel! im working on the story hopefully i can figure it out! Lapsed

(v0.0.9(F)-alpha) Walk Animation (Camera Shake): Yoooo! holy smokes this look epic spent a good chunk figuring out how to make the walk animation turns out its easier to do it through code- thats why i ended the lapse prematurely and worked on it in Rider IDE! it look so cool rn it has head bobbing in all three dimensions! Lapsed

(v0.0.9(E)-alpha) Silhouette Spawning, Flickering Animations (2): Yay i finally made the silhouette spawning animation! it looks sick! the way it slowly comes into view- really cool i also did a bunch of things here and there that im not going into detail :3 Lapsed

(v0.0.9(D)-alpha) Silhouette Spawning (1): Erm uhh idk- i experimented with both script and animationplayer animations but i couldnt seem to get them to work - the script seemed to fail completely while the animation player got me some success but not enough- I will look in to this tmrw! Lapsed

(v0.0.9(B)-alpha) Waking up & Counter Animation: So added the waking up animation - this was a new thing for me that i think i leanrt! the animation player is a really cool feature! Also now the silhouette counter shows up only after the first silhouette is found Lapsed

(v0.0.9(A)-alpha) Death Animation: Fixed a bug (ig? idk if u can call it that) that made it so whenever u looked away from the silhouette the animation would completely freeze. Turns out there was a VisibleOnScreenEnabler3D child which froze the process- Its fixed now! Lapsed

(v0.0.8(G)-pre-alpha) Optimization (5): Omg omg i think i actually did it! what i did was kinda brilliant ngl- So here we go: 1. Whenvever the trees/models are outside the players view they are removed! so like they are not rendered!! Saves cpu and gpu. 2. The snowfall thing is not static now it moves with the player so that only a small area is gettingg the snowfall and a lot less particles is rendered! Lapsed

(v0.0.8(F)-pre-alpha) Optimization (4): I dont even know at this point what i did but i think i increased the frame rates a bit? but i learnt that voxelGI was not performant for my use case so i removed that- also changed the visibility ranges a bit and more i forgo Lapsed

(v0.0.8(E)-pre-alpha) Optimization (3) & FPS: A nice session where i sat down and did more optimization- ah yes optimization is the key to life and happiness, I am really shocked that i optimized it so hard that it runs smoothly in my poopc with good graphics! SubViewport and TextureRect for the win, also added fps counter Lapsed

(v0.0.8(D)-pre-alpha) Optimization (2): Okay hol’up wait a min- I think i might have actually pulled it! The game is SOOO much optimized now! Not completed but its almost there. So i prebaked the lighting, reduced the scale of the screen cuz i was already doing it in the shader, decreased the shadow radius and more stuff that i may or may not have forgotten in the 3/4 hours that i worked CONTINUOUSLY- Lapsed

(v0.0.8(C)-pre-alpha) Death Particles: Okay so for a long time ive been trying to do this but havent (silly me) but here we go- added particle effects for when the silhouettes are “found” they are yellowish and spread out i plan on making some sound effects. Also i did something for the macOS compilation lmao Lapsed

(v0.0.8(B)-pre-alpha) Particle Optimization (1): wild stuff- so i wanted to optimize it but guess what i think i did the complete opposite oh well i did reduce the particle count by a ton- we’ll see what happens Lapsed

(v0.0.8(A)-pre-alpha) Boulder, Grass, Flowers & Fireflies: Pretty productive session! separated the boulder, flower and grass models. but ngl the boulder gave me a hard ass time idk why 💀 Anyways i cooked up the fireflies scene which i am SUPER proud of (since i didnt use any external help- okay u got me just a bit tho) Lapsed

(v0.0.7(I)-pre-alpha) Silhouette (4) - The Special One: So yesterday I couldnt seem to add the special silhouette in the game but oh well added it in this short session Lapsed

(v0.0.7(H)-pre-alpha) Silhouette (3) - Placement: Did a lot of minor stuff (like fixing the material of the log cabin) but the major thing done was the silhouettes’ placement- there are 9 silhouettes, 8 in the wild and one in the cabin, ill make the one in the cabin “special” tmrw! Lapsed

(v0.0.7(G)-pre-alpha) Silhouette (2) - Functionality: OMG OMGO MGOMGOMGOpfjhnguiklhdstg- IDK HOW! but whatever i wanted to has been done! Im really shocked at this! but yeah i gotta thank chatgpt a ton but i got through each line of code and did NOT blindly copy them- I think next time i can do this by my own Lapsed

(v0.0.7(F)-pre-alpha) Silhouette (1) - Modeling: I’ve been waiting to make this model for sooo sooo long and finally i made it! Def took some inspiration from the SCP 096 and the models by Seb for his game. Other than the model I also made the scene with a light and fog which seems crazy good ingame Lapsed

(v0.0.7(D)-pre-alpha) Snowfall (1.2): Finally managed to fix the issue that was causing the glitched snowfall rendering (again, ty seb) Edited the materials thingy and adjusted the settings in general made it so that it looks good! i really like it Lapsed

(v0.0.7(C)-pre-alpha) Snowfall (1.1): Added the snowfall particles (GPU) but it is kinda bugged right now. I am pushing premature scene because @seb will help me out on this :3 Lets hope we can troubleshoot and fix this together! Lapsed

v0.0.7(B)-pre-alpha) Mountains (2) - Texture: I did the UV mapping and the texturing for the mountain model, Had to take a bit of help from my friend @seb for the UV wrapping settings but yeah! did all the stuff by myself! Lapsed

(v0.0.7(A)-pre-alpha) Mountains (1) - Modelling: really really like the model i have cooked up here, though the texturing is left the base model is looking really cool. The spiky nature kinda symbolizes danger and overall i just think its perfect Lapsed

(v0.0.6(I)-pre-alpha) Torches (Placement - 3): got a lot of work done- the torches are now placed along the path! I’ve done something that i think is really cool. here we go! So i added more torches on the main path to subsconsciously provoke the players to follow the path, on the other hand the tributaries have less! Lapsed

(0.0.6(H)-pre-alpha) Toggle Shaders: Accidentally paused the shaders in the previous commit so here we go! Re enabling them

(0.0.6(G)-pre-alpha) Torches (Placement - 2): Added several torches in the scene BUT its not completed yet! I spent a good chunk of this time wondering why i was having some lag and low fps but i coudlnt seem to solve em so i left it as a problem for future me Lapsed

(0.0.6(F)-pre-alpha) Torches (Model - 1): I added the torch model! It has a smoke particle effet and a subtle yellowish lighting. The smoke part was truly trivial and i had to use a yt tutorial to make it. BUT the torch model is made all by myself and im pretty satisfied with it! Lapsed

(0.0.6(E)-pre-alpha) Shaders (3): Finalized the shaders setting to make it look peak. hid the extreme blur effect, dither and noise. Made it look more pleasing and not annoying.

(0.0.6(D)-pre-alpha) Shaders (2): New shader now, the previous shader was eh so i found a new one and then modified it a lot! I love each and evey part of it EXCEPT the vignetting i feel like something is wrong. Ill fix it soon tm. also ngl i used chatgpt to understand how these stuff works so yeah :P but dw its not more than 30% ai

(0.0.6(C)-pre-alpha) Shaders (1): After a lot of trial and errors I finally added the Shader! The environment or the atmosphere ia really taking shape! Im telling u this is gonna be epic!! I am liking the development process a ton though it feels a bit overwhelming sometimes Lapsed

(0.0.6(B)-pre-alpha) Nighttime & Fog: This is lowkey peak u cant argue with ts bruh. I know that the lighting and the fog isnt perfect but hey! im slowly learning everything! Today I made the game into a night scene with some fog! looks cool ngl Lapsed

(0.0.6(A)-pre-alpha) Upgrade to Godot 4.7: Nothing much, just upgraded Godot version to 4.7 - the latest one because: 1. I can 2. You cannot stop me 3. Yes

(v0.0.5(D)-pre-alpha) Forest Design (Part-1): After polishing and giving the finishing touches to the tree models and the chapter 0 map, I am now in the process of level design. Firstly ill make the forest and then go on to the cabin, other models, shaders and gameplay stuff. Its slowly coming together frfrfrfr. Lapsed

(v0.0.5(C)-pre-alpha) Polishing (some) Models: hey woud you look at that! im back 🔥anyywayyssss in this lapse i polished the tree models such that the leaves are collision free and then I also changed the texture mode to seem more pixelated. Changed the map a bit to make the trails better. Lapsed

(v0.0.5(B)-pre-alpha) Log Cabin: Very very happy with the log cabin model. But it took soooo sooo mucj time omg. I am too tired to write more. Sorry.

Vestige: Log Cabin: holy moly, this is crazy! I LITERALLY SPENT 3 HOURS of my life making a log cabin… Wow. Hey it was kinda worth it! I imported this into godot but uhh its doing quirky things lets see if i can fix!

(v0.0.5(A)-pre-alpha) Map + Player: OKay we are stepping up to the big guns now! In this commit I have added a Map for chapter 0 AND also added the player model! I KNOW that the grass and trail textures are not the great and they look “not good” but I think ill polish it when the core game mechanics is done!z

Vestige: Map & Player: Wow this is SO COOLL! I am really enjoying blender AND godot. So here I made the map for chapter 0 (prologue) and a player character! Definitely cooking

(v0.0.4-pre-alpha) Level Design + Bench Model: Designed the chapter 0– like a mind map, now its time for me to start 3d modelling and making the game. And a bench model for chapter 0

Vestige: Chapter 0- Level Design: Just designed the chapter 0– like a mind map, now its time for me to start 3d modelling and making the game

Vestige: Bench Model: This is a bench model for chapter 0. I spent so much time making this. i think i gained experience and the next models will be faster

(v0.0.3(B)-pre-alpha) Game Design: Chapter 0: Oh my gawd! The prologue sequence is so so so cool! I just love it. Ive laid out a complete map of chapter 0! NOW i can finally start working on the first chaapter without procrastinating more lol.

(v0.0.3(A)-pre-alpha) Story: Chapter 0 & 1: Yoooo finally wrote the complete chapter 0 (the prologue) and polished chapter1 even more. Its really coming together. Now I will move on to the game design. Like each action and tiny details. After I’m done with Chapter 0 gamedesign ill start making it

(v0.0.3-pre-alpha) Test Model: Nightstand: OKAY this my first time using blender and I used a tutorial to guide me through. THough it looks, well, “okay” im not satisfied. Ill make a better one. Just trust me on this

(v0.0.2(B)-pre-alpha) Chapter 1: Story: Okay! I’ve polished and completed the chapter1 story line. Ive tweaked the backstory a bit to stay realistic. I really really like the direction im going for while keeping the scope uhh managable. Ive so many places where I can improve upon! ive kept it open ended because i have chapter 2 planned 🔥

(v0.0.2(A)-pre-alpha) Narrative (Lore) and Versioning: Okay so added a one line plot and brain stormed and wrote a mini story which is the internal plot which should NOT be read as the player. This only serves to streamline the development. Anyways the plot may be subject to change.

(v0.0.1-pre-alpha) Godot Setup!: Nothing crazy just setup Godot (first time btw!)

(v0.0.0-pre-alpha) Initial Commit: Initial commit- what else do u expect me to say?? (/s i love yall)
