Okay, the Character Status window is working without any hard coding. Fully populating off of data (thank all the fates). I'm going for a crisp, minimal look for the window colors. But I don't want it to be bland either. Have I gone too far?

Holidays over and back to work. The battle system is really coming along well. I've added a nice auto attack (hold click on a monster and watch everyone dogpile them). Good for ending fights or smaller encounters.

I haven't been doing mapwork lately (tons of battle internals). But I had a great bug and wanted to show it off. My characters look . . . larger than intended. Oops. Initiative tracker is working though! And the Log. :)

The first major spell of the new engine. I wanted to combine a few things at once. Projectiles, tracking, our emitters, and sound. Heck yeah! :) Next challenge--going back to more engine development instead of making 20 more spells. :)

Godot continues to be a lot of fun to work with. The weather system and new map layering systems are playing with each other (correctly!). And Audio is still happy. Heck yeah. Make a Darude Meme or MST3K? Bah, no time! :)

Visual Novel Question

My wife is developing a VN Mystery/Romance. It's in a fictional Renaissance w/ animals (PG13--not too naughty). Here are the two leads. I wanted to know if you think our art is going in the right direction. Any notes?

Happy (almost) Halloween from the Pumpkin King. :)

Movement Testing

I implemented the new movement system and hooked in a temp footstep sound. I'm 48, and this still made me crack up for way too long. I wasn't going to post today (still in menu hell), but this was a fun break. :)

ParticleCore, ParticleCore, Everybody loves ParticleCore. (I sing it in my head WAY more than I want to). But Weather and Particles are functional again. Yay!!!!!! Rain, snow, self lighting, event lighting, and global tints are all running!

#Godot #JRPG #IndieDev #GameDev

We've got tint working and our player lighting back!!!! Between that and yesterday's audio system, we're getting a lot closer to having a good bit of our core functionality going again. BUT--UI overlays are coming up. Fate help me. :/

"I've made a Lighting plugin before, so doing a system from scratch probably won't be too much harder," he said.

Narrator: It was harder

Good news: The tint is working
Bad news: I can't turn it off yet (oO)

I know that in the long run I need to make a better Header Capsule for my game. This one is just GIMPed together, and it shows. But man, capsule work is tricky--always more to learn. Have a great weekend everyone!‪

Every day can be Caturday if you try hard enough. At least, this kittie thinks so. #JRPG, #IndieGame, #SteamNextFest, #ArenaOfSuffering, #Caturday

Yesterday went well on Next Fest (Yay!), but today I just want to have some fun and show off a few more of the monsters from the game. Let me know if anyone has favorite monsters to consider for a post-release dungeon!
