Starting a play through of Xenogears, a classic PS1 god killing RPG. It’s been… maybe 25 years since I last played it?

We Canadians can't turn down an opportunity to tell you about Téléfrançais and that creepy pineapple. I'm sorry about that.

Continued work on my turn based battle system.
Added a bit of UI, thought this really needs characters and animations soon!
Got the Healer brain to work (heals allies below 50%) and the defend + counter attack feature (without infinite counter loop) 😅
Fun stuff!

Making a turn based RPG battle system today. I've never made one more simple than just back and forth attack/health turns and wanted to give it a shot!! It's just text so far but it supports multiple combatants, turn order/amount from speed, and even a few enemy AI profiles.

Realized today that it would be kind of trivial to make the tile editor work at runtime, so I did that. Should I do a level editor or is this just a horrible distraction??? Yes!!

Then of course I thought, oh, I need to patch Fossil Hunters too! But wait.. it was made with Unity 5.6.7 -- arguably the best Unity version of all time 🤣

Just patched Fire Tonight on Windows + MacOS to address the recent Unity vulnerability, which helped me remember about this game I made with Reptoid Games back in 2021! It still holds up as a great short+sweet little thing, and it's on sale for almost free.
