Game Journal #31

So, it's been two days of just figuring out some mechanics of the game especially the state overlays and particle battle effects. They were a huge problem but two days of work paid off.

Some problems I encountered are. 

Problem - Particle state effects on multiple enemies remain on screen when another actor uses a skill that triggers a background change. This was a huge problem especially when the actor is not targeting the enemy.  

Resolved - This was fixed by hi...

I've been working on the story and drawing the 3rd character busts!

I've also been creating some small battle animations for spells and utilizing some particle effects and action sequences for the game.

Added beginner weapons, items and recipes to get the game mechanic started!
Just need to draw some icons, then they will be fully implemented!

Now, I just need to fill in the town with treasure!
It's going smoothly guys, another 1-2 months and I really hope I can ...

Game Journal #28

Designed some more NPC's for the new town and have dotted them around the place.

Created some more items, recipes, new weapons and armor for purchase!

Poll Result

Today was quite a fruitful day!
So after making the poll, and looking over the Ragnarok skill.
I noticed that, the only thing which makes the skill so fancy looking was
PARTICLE EFFECTS!

I found a few plug-ins for this and honestly it took me over 6+ hours to finally find one that works very well with that I'm trying to do. So much trial and error :'(

So here's the result of particle effects! Now all it needs is a huuuuuuge ass sword falling from the sky.

Also...

Skill List Poll

Okay so, now that I've gotten to the stage where I will need to create the next dungeon at some point. 

I'll be needing some skills for these characters because, what's a game without flashy skills?

Here's a few I've put down as a poll!

Please note that the skills listed won't be replicated 100%, for example the graphics.

Wow, I got a lot to do. One step at a time I guess. 

Game Journal #22

For the past few days I've been working on the game mechanics, story and gameplay.
Here's the list:

Story progression - more content after the cave boss

Crafting Cores - Cores are crystals that contain skills, you can craft these based on the amount of Elemental Essence you gather.

Skill equip - Remember FF7 Materia system? Well, I added that in since I loved the materia equip system. You can use spells based on the Core you equip to your weapon or armor.

Coo...

A few pictures needs to be added into the game to show a certain event.

Game Journal 20

Completed the next map today, the ruins! 

On top of that I've included a cooking mechanic into the game! 

I've always loved the idea of having food mechanics as part of the gameplay, like granting stat boost and other goodies!

The next step is to add the story content on this map and introduce cooking!

Butt Shot!

Just another practice piece, using some more colors and a butt shot!

The layout of Elm Village.

The first village in the game where the protagonist will be visiting.

Game Progress

I have been working non stop since the start of this new game project. I've come to realise that I spend between 50 - 70+ hours a week working on this.

The implementation of the plug-ins, editing of the code, data input and organization of items, crafting system, character spriting, battle animation spriting, finding new music and sound, drawing background art and level design, character bust images, trial and error through multiple test plays when new code is added and so much more. ...
