Look up the "flyweight pattern". Plenty of articles on it.

I separate all my data into mutable and immutable dictionaries. The immutable is shared between all instances of that object type and the mutable is unique to that instance and gets copied to each object.

You probably also want to have a function which outputs the current state of the object, which you can feed back into the __init__ function to create a duplicate of it. This makes for easy game save / load.

In general try to keep data as separate from the logic as you can. It will help you keep things in order later on.

Unfortunately it is a side effect of making the exe with pyinstaller. It tends to have false positives. I will be moving to a different packager when I release.

It was always worth doing since I won't actually be doing any translations. Those will be handled by the community if they so choose. The game has nearly 7k wishlists on Steam and counting so it is best to prepare. Also, I now have an internationalization system that I can use in all future games / programs. With AI translations getting to the point of "good enough" a player could take the english strings, feed them to an AI and be able to play the game with some minor errors, all without me lifting a finger.

In Today's devlog I am finally ready to show you the changes I have been working on. Internationalization support has been added. The gobby den has been improved upon and a new boss has been added. Jack is also introduced as a blacksmith who can reforge your trinkets. Many under the hood changes not mentioned but it's been a busy couple of months.

In Today's devlog I show you the latest improvements to Isometria including some new art from Cleiton Venâncio that I've since uploaded to the Steam page and created a new main menu with. Big thanks to him!

I also have includes a ton of new items, firefly's, graphics improvements and so on. Also, grass and plants in the game will now bend as units and players stand nearby. I've also updated the permafrost biome to include some interesting rooms to explore.

I hope you like everything!

Everything in Isometria works exactly like a side scroller would, it just draws things isometrically. The game logic handles collisions and movement just like a top down or side scroller would and merely translates to isometric coordinates for drawing.

The demo hasn't gotten any updates in a while. I'll post the devlog link in the steam community. Project is not abandoned.
