Devlog 0.1 - early development

Hello!

Welcome to the first dev log for Project Meadow! My name is Maxime CP and have started working on Project Meadow in January 2022.

Here, i am cataloguing early development steps that I have completed over the past month or so, and where I'm heading with this whimsical game!

Completed steps (stuff I actually got done!)

• 2D sprites in a 3D environment (2.5D paper sprite feel)
• 3D Character movement with animations
• Basic jumping mechanic
• Basic dynamic light and shadow
• Day/night cycle

Current steps (being actively worked on)

• Atmospheric lighting (pretty colors!)
• Map building (let's actually build this magical forest!)
• 2D asset production (drawing drawing drawing!!!)

Next steps (things I'll be working on soon)

• NPCs and dialogue
• Health/death & respawn system
• Magic stamina system

Long-term goals (things I'll get to eventually!)

• Enemy system (AI aggro)
• Skill system (magic abilities)
  • Dash (sprint)
  • Spark (stun enemies)
  • Grow (grow plants)
  • Lotus (hover above water)
• Objectives system
• Adding more complex animation

Thank you for checking in with Project Meadow, and I'll be posting more content in the near future! xoxo The Glowing Pond.
