The birds are chirping


But you can't hear it in the video. I guess I should have made sure I was recording audio when I made the video. Also, there's footsteps!


There's not much to report on

It went smoothly pretty much the whole time. Now that I have a better understanding of the terrain tools, I had fun shaping the land. It was pretty relaxing, plus this time I didn't even crash the game! I also put a lot of effort into the controls and animation, trying to tweak everything and get it just right. It's starting to feel pretty nice to control!


The pinecones are a problem though...

I'm trying to put pinecones in the game right now. The goal is you walk up to one, and when you get close enough there's a dapple of light that shines over it to mark it for you. Get closer and you can pick it up with the bark button and carry it in your mouth. You can then press the bark button again to throw it forward. So far I got the glow working, you can go up to it and pick it up in a sense, but it just floats beside the dog and for some reason it can't be thrown. I think it might be because I tried using a fixed joint to make the pinecone stay at the dogs mouth, which didn't work. I'm not sure though, when I add the force it's after the destruction of the fixed joint. I really need to find a way to keep the pinecone in the dogs mouth!!
