Game Dev Update 02-11-2019
Added 2019-02-11 03:58:11 +0000 UTCHey guys,
With the recent releases out of the way, I've a couple of things to get done this month. First off, a special scene for that thing I'm preparing to make (right now it's for the $25 supporters). I'll get right on that. Then, after I pass off the hair and head works to the artist, I'll get started on the 9th (and maybe 10th) character designs. I have spoken with Sharkie so I've got an idea on what the next character should look like. And after that, more special scenes - maybe 1 or 2 for now?
I'll see what happens since I'm playing around with getting tilemaps to work in the game, and since this involves managing more stuff on the scene: map + map layer management, sprite, spritesheet + sprite layer management, camera management, and tying them all together in what works in how we script stuff, it's like getting the basic RPG graphic stuff in there. I'll take things a step a time here, nothing crazy like expecting to pull out a JRPG - I'm not using RPG Maker so the tools for complex scripting isn't available... yet(?) I'm not sure how this will pan out performance-wise, considering we're already using heavy bone-animation on our special scenes, the added load of multiple tile layers and spritesheet animation might not be suitable for mobile.
I'm thinking of using this for Godhood, but that game's supposed to be a text-based RPG, so I'll see what sort thing I can do about that.
Ok, that's it for now! I think I'm trying to bite off more than I can chew here, so that to-do list might be longer than I imagine it to be. Bottom line is, expect some sexy GIFs this month!

Haha! Don't worry, I'll put the usual RnO stuff under the usual tier, so you won't miss out on those animated stuff! Just the ninth one is definite since this was posted about a few months back ;). The tenth is not 100% sure yet. tho I believe I talked to Sharkie about it... but that was some time ago, so I might need to ask him about this again. The experimental stuff is what I usually put under the top tier (since I'm not supposed to be mentioning it anyway, I may as well put it under this)
2019-02-11 07:18:38 +0000 UTCI see how it is. Wait until Sh0tgun drops his pledge level down to decide it's time to do something else for $25 tier. :P Also... hol up. You mean to tell me that you have the ninth and tenth characters planned out.... and neither of them are Ren? The feeling of betrayal is too real :P

2019-02-11 07:00:08 +0000 UTCHehe! Because ;)
2019-02-11 06:38:53 +0000 UTCIn the original design, we set it at "10". It's in quotes because ;).
2019-02-11 06:38:30 +0000 UTCMy emotions reading this: - 9th/10th character: whohoo...more story/scenes to enjoy. :-) - "what the next character should look like"... again not Ren. :,(
