Hello! I have finally finished the start of the shop, there are still things I wish to add, but right now I'm happy with it. I found a way to make items that will appear in the shop super easy to add. All I need to do is add a sprite to the sprite sheet of items, fill out the info in the item dictionary (Name, price, info, notes/buffs, “comment”), then make a function to execute after the item is bought (this may change stats or instance the item on the player). This is all made easier because of the expanding info popup where all the text goes.

Now I will show you some of the items I have made for the shop so far:

Some items I'm not showing because they aren't fully done yet, these unfinished items use a hotkey to use, like special bullets or throwables. But other than that, this is what occupies the shop currently.

I did do some bug/glitch fixing, as well as streamlining/cleanup (the enemies aren't duplicates of the same object anymore). And I made some cool shader FX for later use, which is cool.

Thats about it, I'm going to just start adding STUFF so the world feels full and the game is fun to play (items, rooms, random encounters). I hope you have an amazing day and have fun!
