11/19/11 - Sunrays and Action Text

I've added sunrays (I took the sprite from my Zelda game, but I did make the sprite myself, along with the rain and other things I took from it) that show whenever it's sunny. They change direction/opacity/color depending on the time of day as well. Just another little aesthetic feature to make the game look cool.

I've also started working on items, and interactivity with the world in general. Whenever you're in front of/over an object or item that can be interacted with, an action text saying what you can do, along with what it is will show above the player's head (I think I might move this to the center of the screen though, as sometimes the player can be too close to the edge of the screen, and the text will go out of view). All actions are done with Z, however, I'm planning on having customizable controls. I just need to make a menu for it whenever (I'll probably do it when I make the title screen and whatnot).

Anyway, I think I'll try to post daily blogs if I can, but it depends on what content I add, and if I remember.
