Been playing around with the idea of being able to run around camp in between missions to manage and have conversations with your army. Made a rough little prototype and I can see the potential.

Hail Mary is the ultimate risk/reward play. The receiver has a 50% chance of instantly being walloped and super fumbling the ball! Luckily I kept Rewind enabled so I could try again :)

Wrote my first Renderer Feature for URP to create some heat distortion for the new lava playfield. Also getting more familiar with Shader Graph in the process. Brick by brick... it's starting to make sense!

Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday! I have been working on lots of new content for Fantasy Football Tactics, and today I am giving a sneak peak at the lava level, complete with a heat distortion effect: bsky.app/profile/jlan...

This took a while to do. I compared Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, and Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles for @rpgsite.net going over features, platform differences, visuals, load times for all the versions, and more: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1859...

Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles on Switch 2, Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally, and PS Portal next to two PS Vitas running FF Tactics PS1 and WOTL. There's a physical copy of the PS5 version next to an iPad running FFT WOTL, the Switch and Steam Deck LCD with the classic mode for the Ivalice Chronicles. I also have the soundtrack playing on a phone via Apple Music next to two espresso cups with black coffee.

Read my Final Fantasy Tactics complete feature going over PS1 vs PSP vs mobile vs PS5 vs Switch 2 vs Xbox vs Steam Deck PC and more on RPG Site - https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/18591-final-fantasy-tactics-the-ivalice-chronicles-switch-2-vs-ps5-psp-war-of-the-lions-ps1-features-xbox-pc-steam-differences-compared

I’m unsure how I feel about having characters in a game tell me how to play in terms of keyboard buttons and stuff. It’s a bit of an immersion break, but it’s also cool to have the game explained by a character rather than a popup hmm..

The event manager in my game can now take conversation events! I need to be careful with this... The urge to create #FE 💩-posts is real.

Nonsense aside! It goes as a great example on how flexible the system is! 💪 What do you all think?

To flex the new conversation system, I remade one funny support conversation from #FE GBA! 💬

Few things I need to correct, spacing on the . ' characters and the pop in flicker of the text box. However all in all its going well! 🤩

Rococo Haley did a very entertaining stream of the FFT demo and deploys an interesting “wait and bait” strategy on defense. Very cool!
