Taizen Chisou vs. Progress

Posted by Taizen Chisou on May 14, 2012, 8:56 p.m.

Edit:

Screenshots!

It seems as though as much as I enjoy adding things to my game, the more spiteful I get to the individual pieces of code because I'm constantly leaving them unfinished to start on something else.

So far, I have the following:

A basic cutscene handler (The test cutscene initiates a battle)

Text engine with colors and effects (<3 Juju)

Moving around game world

Enemy database framework

Very, very, very basic enemy AI (Follows you and tries to attack)

Pause menu, displays detailed information for leader and basic information for friends

Skill trees are in place, you can't yet learn from them though

Enemies can die, and they give you EXP and everything (Their dying animation even has them flying back and stuff on a Z axis!)

Sprite sheets for three characters

Attack scripts for two

Interaction handling for when you press the attack button on the overworld (but no indication of what you can interact with, I should add that to match Dueplin :V )

The HUD works, number effects work

You can block enemy attacks (But if you're facing the wrong way it won't work!)

I'm going to be working on the following soon:

Inventory

Equipment

Learning skills

Using skills

Customizable command decks (See below)

More advanced and flexible enemy AI

Question functionality in textboxes

Gun weaponry actually functioning like guns and not like swords

Being able to die and being prompted to switch characters when it happens

The battle pause menu (opposed to the world pause menu)

The command decks are basically where you're going to keep the character's skills any appointed items for use in battle.

I would probably add, like, potions, status effect items, and Almighty Fire Blast Of Motherfuckin' Death to it, and use the C button to navigate it and to use whatever in it is selected.

I'm doing this opposed to scrolling the list of magic spells available to your character, to emphasize "strategy" and to legitimize the use of items in battle.

Debating with self about what size this should be. You only learn ten spells each, and there's a whole mess of useful items that you can use.

Perhaps six slots.

And I think that's about it!

If I come up with more, then I'll save it for another blog.

Updated actually with screenshots this time :V

This sort of thing might work well with a skeletal animation system.

I'm not going to the hassle of animating the character's limbs like I did in that animation engine :V
