The Gray Thief Devlog

Started working on my new project… The Gray Thief!!!

The idea is a grayscale stealth game where you play as a thief that steals light from the world. The more light you steal, the brighter you get, which also makes you easier for guards to see.

So far I’ve:

• Made the Godot project
• Added basic WASD movement
• Added walls and collisions
• Made the player have a light value
• Made the player visually get brighter/darker
• Made walls store light
• Added light transfer between the player and walls
• Added a bounce effect when hitting walls
• Added particles when hitting walls
• Made the particles match the player’s brightness
• Drew and added the sucker/vacuum
• Made the sucker follow and rotate toward the mouse
• Made the sucker change brightness with the player
• Fixed some blurry pixel art issues
• Rounded the player slightly without using a shader

Right now I’m working on making the sucker actually interact with walls instead of just going straight through them.

Still a LOT to do, but im happy with it so far, it feels like something i can make
