(Writing this hours late but only covering day one.)
Even though this is all I have to show for it...
What a barren landscape... You exist! You moved to (0, 1) You moved to (-1, 1) You moved to (-2, 1)
...I'm not terribly dissatisfied with the first day. I knew it would be a slow start but am nearly up to speed now.
I attempted to write GDscript without reading docs to check what I was doing, and it didn't work out so well, since I haven't used Godot for a year. Object initialisation order in Godot is a real headache and I still don't understand my find_node() problems. So I spent part of the first day re-reading documentation, though far less lost time than last year.
I picked through code from Slumber and salvaged a few lines here and there, barely anything in total. If had known what I was doing it would have been much faster to write all the code from scratch. We also spent a while discussing how we should better organise the code and files. Last time was a disastrous mess.
After getting a basic message log working (luckily someone else did the graphical side) I put together the most pathetically minimal Entity and Player classes at the 24 hour mark, so that I could post the above.
Didn't really do anything on Schemat, aside from a lot of thinking about it while picking tomatoes. There are many more tomatoes to be picked on day two.
