🌲prototype-1.5.0 | Dec. 5, 2025

Since prototype-1.4.0, I've made some changes to the maps, obviously a lot of code improvements, and began work on interactive elements of the game.

Added:

• "Rock": Found around the map, can be right clicked to get the Rock item, spawns 1-5 Worms underneath.
• "Worm": Spawns under rocks and despawns on Grass after 5-15 seconds. Wanders around aimlessly, and can be picked up with Right Click. Q drops items, and instead of dropping the item variant it drops them back as entities.
• Inventory: The player finally has a full inventory viewable in the W.I.P Escape Menu. You can drag items to different slots, and see the amount of an item type you have.
• Item Dropping: You can press Q to drop an item onto the ground, or Ctrl+Q to drop all items in that slot. They automatically get picked back up when near.
• "Forest" location blockout: Currently covered in trees and has very little going on (one small extra tent area), but it's going to have more to do.
• Campground: More paths added to the Campground map, mainly (but not exclusively) to smoothly transition between it and the forest map.
• "Bed": Found inside cabins (1 next to campfire for testing), you can right click to "sleep". Right now it just speeds up time until it reaches 6 AM of the next day.
• Soundscape system: This is currently being tested, it allows me to define a polygon area (so, not limited by a square or circle), anywhere on the map for a soundscape. For example, when you're near the edge of the beach you'll hear waves crashing on the shore. When you're in the forest, you'll hear forest-y sounds.

Focusing on adding interaction (inventory, items, insect spawning, etc) has forced me to improve tons of code, so progress should be somewhat easier. With right click functionality and an inventory, I can do loads of stuff (foraging berries, the bulletin board, dialogue with NPCs, etc.). Thanks for reading :)
