• Fixed a bug with item management (B2_Item) that prevented a item to be removed.

• Fixed collision and navigation issues in "r_tnn_businessDistrict01".

• Gelasio's questline is not linear, so the diagram is a bit different from the others.

• This questline can affect a bunch of other quests. Right now, we are only handling this quest

  • One example is giving Wilmer's bill to Gelasio, putting Wilmer in jail.

Whats next?

Hum, don't know actually.

The shader loader doesn't work correctly, Gamepad support is still shoddy. There are still lots of issues with small bugs during gameplay.

Maybe I'm losing a bit of focus on this project. I'm supposed to port the Janky demo, but I'm sure that the diving mini-game was not on the Demo. I will try to focus on the Combat, AI and finishing TNN.

Gun behavior also need some love, since affixes and bullet behavior were not added yet.

No promises, though.

2025.07.18:

General:

• Added access to Debug room on the title screen.
  • If you try to enter a room that does not exists, the game also throws you on this same debug room.
• On the title screen, pressing 1, 2 or 3 changes some fun stuff on the menu.

Guns:

• Added "B2_Gunmap". What it does is a mystery to me, but it a little map and each Gun is pointed at some part of the map.
• Added "B2_GunBreed". This handles gun breeding requests. Currently, it does nothing but generate random data.

Shops:

• You can shop for stuff now!
• Shops are divided between Guns, Jerkins, Candy Recipes and Vidcons. Each shop behaves a bit different from each other.
  • Vendors can react if you bought all items.
• There are some issues with menu navigation using a gamepad.

UtilityStation:

• UtilityStation is usable now.
• You can manage, reload, rename, promote, smelt and breed guns.
  • You can breed guns. For now, this function spawns a random gun, since genes and lineage i still not implemented.
    • Gun breeding animation is pretty shoddy and need some work. This was my first time actually making an animation section.
    • The breeding animation is a bit different from the original.
• You can manage you vidcons and level up.
  • Look at you vidcons descriptions, unbox vidcons and gain experience.
  • Level up and choose your preferred stats to improve.
  • Leveling up and experience does not change basically nothing.
• You can craft candies.
• You can equip and manage Jerkins.
  • You can also equip a helmet, that does nothing.
• You can check you inventory.
• You can browse the DwarfNET! DwarfNET was also released as a standalone game here.
  • There are some issues with time related posts. Not going to deal with that now.
• EXTREME PERFORMANCE ISSUES. No idea how to deal with this.
  • There are, like, 5000 nodes on this menu. The flickering effect also add some stupid high lag for some reason.

Internal:

• Room index uses a cache (json) instead of doing it at startup.
• Music index uses a cache (json) instead of doing it at startup.
• Sound index uses a cache (json) instead of doing it at startup.

Whats next?

Full Changelog: Release...2025.07.18

Combat update

Important things:

• Candy and Candy recipes added.
• Jerkins and equipping Jerkins added
• Hoopz stats added.
• Enemy stats added.
• Enemies added (Egg drone and barrel)
• Guns (barelly) added.
• Gun skills added.
• Combat added.
• Gun, Candy and ammo drops added.
• Death screen added.
• Players respawn locations added (No idea if its working).
• Room teleportation logic modified. May break things.
• The HUD actually works now. Most of it, at least.

Known Bugs:

• Pressing "Enter" on the combat menu causes a crash.
• Dying in diapers is not supported.
• Gun affixes and special effects don't work correctly.
• Bullet casings have the incorrect color sometimes.

Notes:

• Pressing F1 to F3 displays some debug data
• Pressing F4 during combat "hurts" Hoopz with 0 damage.
• Pressing F5 kills Hoopz

Stage 4.0 - Wilmer!

Wilmer´s house is done.

Important notes:

• Fix A LOT of bugs related to animations and dialog.
• Fix some bugs related to the character portraits.
• Implement a variable injection function on the dialog code.
  • This is pretty cool actually. during dialog, the devs can add a variable to the text (Ex.: @money_wilmerMortgage@). During dialog display, we check for words between the "@" and try to figure what that is. due to the "money_" prefix, we know its some value related to money.
  • This was reeeealy hard to implement without causing issues to the current dialog code.
  • This code is also responsible to inject the player´s name on the dialog. During the CC, you can input any name and that is displayed on the dialog.
• Implemented the "BREAKOUT" dialog box, to show money and such.
  • The breakout box actually uses a simplified version of the "Border" node. Its like the Dialog box but without the random pieces.
  • This function is unfinished. according to the code, this resource also can be used to select options. This is not implemented.
• Stuff related to saving and loading the game.
