Combat Hype!
Added 2018-07-16 23:33:45 +0000 UTCWhat's been done? (TLDR)
- Finished the expression build
- Once combat is finished will tweak it into the player wardrobe
- Major progress on combat
- Base functionality done
- All alien animations done
- Effects 50% done (think enemies firing, getting hit, etc)
- Balancing still in progress (hard to but a percentage on this :P)
``With the expression build finally finished I was finally able to spend some time on combat. Boy, they weren't kidding when they said Ren'py wasn't built for combat! I'm taming this beast though, slowly but surely.
I have decided to leave the timer out until 0.03 as that would be a big extra hassle. This means that 0.02 will have normal turn based combat but this way I'll have enough time to focus on the core functionality before I start breaking it with a timer.
As I mentioned before, Ren'py wasn't build for combat, so there have been some challenges. For example, having damage numbers at different locations, with upward movement AND transparency is apperently a nono. Trying to find a solution for this with someone else but the current fix still can't fade and disables the hover effect on the enemies =<
I made some good progress though. The base functionality is done, as in, all the player (Ben and Shar) moves are in (with animations) and enemies will attack a random target. Not all the effects are in yet though, like the comic book hit effects and the enemy bullets.
Hopefully you guys will get your hands on it soon!
