Just released TrappedTogether v1.18.
From containers to weapon switching.
Now the game has containers — when you go to the kitchen boxes, canned food doesn’t just go into your inventory anymore. Instead, a container opens.
Maybe nobody will even notice this... but it’s an important step toward the main goal.
And I’m doing all this for weapon switching! To switch weapons, you first need to find them. And for that, you need a container.
Now it’s there.
But there’s still a long way to go before weapon switching is ready.
I’m not sure how to add it step by step. If I start putting forks, knives, and axes into containers... won’t people ask, “Why are there all these knives if you can’t use them yet?” But you have to start somewhere.
Small improvements make me happy. Big ones take months and can be depressing — you keep working and working, but it’s still not ready for release.
Yeah... in the next version, there will be knives and forks!
Or maybe money from zombies?
Money dropping from zombies
Another idea I’ve wanted to add for a while — money.
As someone already wrote: “There’s no real reason to kill zombies.”
Right now, when a zombie dies, its body stays for a few seconds and then disappears. So why not make that body a container? You open it — and there’s money inside, maybe a fork, maybe a knife, or even an axe!
I already have a money indicator under the LuckyPoints bar, but it’s hidden for now.
I just don’t yet know what to do with the money when you move it from the container to your inventory. Maybe just make it disappear with a message like “3 coins added”?
Forgotten birthday
I just remembered — the game had a birthday recently, and I totally forgot about it...
I should gather my thoughts and write a summary post about what happened during the year. Maybe even share my future plans. It’s amazing how much my vision of the game has changed. This is no longer the same game I made last year... and definitely not the one I started three years ago.
If you’re reading these notes — please, leave a comment. Sometimes I feel like writing them is just a waste of time...
