What’s New

• Added hover/clicked states using tweens for the “Main Menu” buttons in both the winner and death screens

• Specified data types of all variables in every script
• I initialized a new minigame!! (more is coming! (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ))

MadMiffy - 8th Devlog .☘︎ ݁˖

Hello! (๑>؂•̀๑) I’ve once again made a few changes to MadMiffy! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• Added button to toggle on/off the musicAdded dropdown menu to toggle between jump keys (still working on that (╥﹏╥))
• Added the rest of the text, (discovered what BBCode text was, and used it to underline the “Controls” and “Music” text!!
• Added a home button! I don’t know how, but I completely forgot to add a home button when I was planning the settings screen on Canva haha
• I also messed around with tweens and used this website to help me learn! It took a while to understand, but after trying it myself for a couple of buttons, I think I’m starting to get the hang of it! ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ I used tweens for the buttons in the title screen and the button in the settings screen to give them a floating hover state and bouncy animation when a button gets clicked

Challenges

• Definitely figuring out how to properly code the OptionButton! I am still struggling with it, so hopefully I will find a solution soon!
• Figuring out how to script tweens was very hard! I was so grateful to the tutorial website I found, and I was able to use its code to understand tweens. For the longest time, I was struggling with the title screen buttons, but I was able to figure out through some googling that the issue had to do with the VBoxContainer interfering with the tweening logic! I was able to create a quick fix by wrapping the buttons with Control nodes! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

MadMiffy - 7th Devlog ⋆˚✿˖°

Hi! (˶˃𐃷˂˶) I’ve made a few small changes to MadMiffy! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I added trackers to both minigame 1 and minigame 2 to track the number of hearts collected/clicked! They stay on the screen as well! (i realized when testing that making them appear only after the directions disappear is not a very good look)
• Planned settings screen on Canva
• Started the settings screen! I added a background and title so far, also added a miffy icon to the bottom right corner, and it has animations!!
• Added and styled a volume adjuster (HSlider) along with placeholder audio to test the adjuster out!

Challenges

• Styling the HSlider was difficult because I’ve never learned how to, but the Godot dev forums and Youtube really helped! ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ

And that’s it! Thank you for reading along till the end! Can’t wait to do more with MadMiffy! (๑ᵔ⤙ᵔ๑)

˚.⋆꒰১ MadMiffy - 6th Devlog ໒꒱⋆.˚

Hi! (๑’ᵕ’๑)⸝* I’m back with changes to MadMiffy! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I uploaded MadMiffy as a draft on itch.io! I also customized the colors of the page to match the game’s color scheme (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
• Added directions to minigame 1 and minigame 2 to make it easier to understand how to play!
• ^ The directions also have animations (❀❛ ֊ ❛„)
• Shifted the positions of the hearts in minigame 2 to fit the directions text
• I now have a README.md file! I used Stardance’s tutorial to help me with it!

My Challenges

• I had trouble exporting my files into itch.io since this was my first time uploading a game (っ- ‸ - ς) but after some deep analysis of the WarioWare tutorial, I finally figured it out!
• I initially had no idea how to write a README file (can you tell I’ve never made one before (ᵕ—ᴗ—)), so figuring it out was pretty tough! The Stardance tutorial was very helpful!

That’s it! Thank you for reading if you read along till the end! Stay tuned for more! ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ

Update: ** MadMiffy** is now public! Play it on itch.io!!

MadMiffy - Fifth Devlog ⋆˚࿔

Hello!! (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ﾉﾞ I’ve once again made a couple of changes! I can’t believe how far MadMiffy has come! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I added a death screen!! Since it’s pretty similar to the winner screen, I was able to duplicate the winner screen and make whatever changes I needed, which saved me a LOT of time!
• The Miffys from both the death AND winner screens now have flying animations! yay! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´
• Commented out the settings button’s functionality because the settings feature has not been implemented yet
• Made it so that the level in the timer screen actually displayed the correct level
• Added wall barriers to minigame 1 so that the miffy sprite can’t fall off the screen
• The minigames_done variable now only decrements if its value is already above zero (this fixes a bug that occurred where the minigames_done variable became negative because the script didn’t check if its value was greater than zero)

My Challenges

• Scripting the death screen so that it actually appears was a challenge for me (⇀‸↼‶) I kept running into a null error for a while but a couple of google searches helped me immensely (thank you reddit (∩˃o˂∩)♡)

MadMiffy - Fourth Devlog ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

Hello!! (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) A couple of changes have been made! Let’s get right into it ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ!! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I created a working winner screen! It has a few animations, and it is so far looking pretty close to what I designed on Canva, so I am super ecstatic!
• Not only can miffy now flip horizontally, she now has walking AND idle animations now!! ·˚ ༘ ৻(  •̀ ᗜ •́  ৻)
• The quality of the Miffy picture from the title and timer screens is much higher now! I used ibisPaint X to create a clearer image

My Challenges

• Animating the walking and idle animations for the Miffy sprite was TOUGH!
  (っ- ‸ - ς) Shoutout to DevWorm’s Youtube tutorial on Godot animations for teaching me more about animations (ᴗ_ ᴗ。)

MadMiffy - Third Devlog ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ໒꒱

I’m back!! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ I’ve made a few changes to MadMiffy since the last devlog!! I will try to do these devlogs more often (they’re actually pretty fun to make!) If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What’s New

• I finally stylized the buttons in the title screen!! Specifically, I used StyleBoxFlats to stylize the normal and hover states of the Play, Settings, and Quit buttons! They turned out the exact way I wanted them to turn out and I am so grateful for that!! (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) Since I couldn’t upload a picture of the title screen from the last devlog, I attached a VIDEO of the title screen this time!! (woooooo!!)

• I adjusted the code to the Miffy sprite from minigame 1 (the platformer game) so that Miffy can now flip horizontally when the right arrow key is pressed! (Hurray for Miffy!! She doesn’t have to walk backwards anymore ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ) I attached a video to demonstrate this new feature!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

Anddd that’s it! This devlog was on shorter side, but thank you for reading if you read along till the end! I will make sure to continue working hard on this game
ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ byeee!!!  

MadMiffy - Second Devlog ˖ ݁♬⋆.˚𝄞

Hello!! (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ﾉﾞ Very long overdue, but nonetheless, here’s the second devlog for MadMiffy! Lots of changes have been made since the first devlog!! If you’re new here, MadMiffy is my spinoff version of the WarioWare game!! 

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

What I Did

• Minigame 1, Platformer: Control Miffy using the L/R arrow keys and space bar to collect hearts on the platforms (same hearts from the timer screen!)
• Minigame 2, Clicker: Use your mouse to click on the hearts on your screen before the timer ends
• Animation to the “MadMiffy” title in the title screen
• Used Canva to move the Miffy in title screen background from the left to the right side of the screen (and horizontally flipped it over)
• Used Canva to design winner/death scenes!!

My Challenges

• It took me FOREVER to find the right Miffy on pinterest for the winner/death scenes, and I also spent way too long on ibisPaint X editing the Miffy to be exactly the way I wanted it to be haha (it turned out so good in the end though!! I wish I could log that as hours, but I attached a timelapse instead haha)
• I am still thinking of ideas for minigame #3… I will have to get back to you guys on this!!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

Anddd that’s it! Thank you for reading if you read along till the end, and I will continue working hard to get this game into good shape ᕙ(  •̀ ᗜ •́  )ᕗ

Edit: I tried adding a screenshot of the new title screen background but I couldn’t get it to upload, so bear with me (っ- ‸ - ς)

MadMiffy - First Devlog ⋆˚꩜｡

Hi Everyone! This marks the first devlog for my new WarioWare-style game, MadMiffy!

Initial Ideas

When coming up with ways to differentiate my WarioWare game from the tutorial, I thought of Miffy, a cute character that matches the whimsical vibe I wanted. I immediately created a Pinterest board to gather ideas, and went on Canva to craft the background image shown in the title and level scenes.

Buttons

When I got to the part of the tutorial where it made me create the “Start Game,” “Settings,” and “Quit” buttons, I initially wanted to create customized buttons through TextureRects. I tried coming up with different ideas on Canva, but none of them really stuck out with me… I will try again soon! If it doesn’t end well, I will at least be changing the colors of the buttons, because they totally don’t fit with the color scheme right now. Stay tuned!!

Garlic and Fonts

Aside from the background, I also scoured Pinterest to find the perfect “garlic” icon, where I decided on the heart-shaped button that fit perfectly with the background. For the text, I used a font called Jersey15. I had used it previously in a separate project, and I felt that the pixel font would pair well with the rest of the game. 

That’s it for now! I am very excited to see where MadMiffy will go ^^

Hi, I know it’s Monday, but I wanted to log what I did on Saturday. I decided to create my first ever Slack bot named ToDoReMi! I am a huge sucker for to-do lists, so it was only natural that the idea for my first ever Slack bot was for it to keep track of to-do lists. So far, I have gone through most of the tutorial and created a few slash commands. I am currently waiting for my Nest application to be approved. Nice to meet everyone!
