Game Journal #117 - Achievement Icons, New Monster Voice Lines, Controller UI Part 1

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my game journal series. This week, I started adding in more quality of life features. Still aiming for that end-of-month release date for the paid version of the game!

Life-wise, I'm starting to feel the pressure a bit financially. If you remember from my previous journals, I left my second job to have more free time to work on the game. I don't regret my decision at all (my life is much better because of it) but paying my bills has become a little harder. I really don't want to get another job again, so I've been ramenmaxxing, ricemaxxing, and eggmaxxing. Also, can you believe that 60 eggs costs almost 20 dollars now?! Just a few years ago you could get them for 12$! Ugh...

Anyway, other than that, it's been the same old stuff. I did figure out how to make a system for Controller input to work on the game's UI, which is a pretty big game-changer, so I've mostly been doing that. I know a LOT of people like to play games with a controller (me included) so if I'm going to release the game properly, that's a basic feature that has to work.

I also started working on the achievement icons, which you can see below.

Yeah. There should be a new build soonish! Here's the video of me explaining everything like usual.
