[7DRL 2024] Ark Remnants [INCOMPLETE]

[PTrefall]

Announcing my start to 7DRL 2024! Happy 20th anniversary!

In the shadowed expanse of space, the remnants of humanity's last hope drift silently—the Arks, colossal vessels once brimming with life and promise, now lie in ruin, shattered by an unforgiving alien onslaught. Among the stars wanders Aria, a young scavenger burdened by her family's colossal debt to the ruthless Forces of the Motherworld. Her fate, tethered to the debris of the past, guides her to the ghostly husks of these once-majestic Arks. But can she find the heart of the Ark, the artifact that would surely fulfill her debt and set her free?

First day is in the books. Weekends are particularly busy these days, so didn't get much done.

Aria character is in
Idle animations are set up
Sword front and back with sprite order sorting based on direction is in
Eye blinking (the bare essentials!)

Day 2 done

Linked sword animations to sword items
Added guns with aim rotation

Day 3 done

All in all I think the weapon handling is pretty much done now and I can move on to enemies and dungeon gen.

Lot's of little gun handling and effect details.

Day 4 pretty much went without any time at all.

Day 5

Got started on some enemies

In the end I had to submit the game as incomplete. I lost 2 days and barely managed to scrape 2 hours of work in on the best days. Hard to complete a project of this ambitious level within the allotted time then. I had a lot of fun though! Good luck to everyone else doing the challenge!
