Game Making Drive Feb 2014

Day 3

Did I mention I'm working on a Rune Factory type of game?
No, the character will not suffer from amnesia.

...Anyways...
So today I've been working on getting the farming system to work properly. until now I've only had a placeholder system which only had one crop and since it's such a important part of the game I thought I might as well finish it while I wait for my new tablet to arrive.

Game Making Drive, Day 3. February 6:

Worked on two important systems extensively and have about figured them both out.

1. Hordes: Rather than having random encounters or even on map encounters where you never know how many enemies are chasing you at once, I decided I'd make the entire enemy party visible on map so that you know exactly what enemies you should be most cautious around. This proved a little more complicated than I had at first believed because if you just have them follow the 'leader' event then you run the risk of the follower zombies boxing their leader into a corner and effectively stopping movement for all. Likewise you can't make them transparent without them going through solid objects and stuff and even doing a check to see if the leader has a path to go on and if not make the followers temporarily transparent as he passes doesn't work because they'll still occasionally step onto an unwalkable tile and then get stuck there so that had to be accounted for as well. Mostly done now except they happen to take one step on unpassible tiles occasionally but no longer get stuck.

2. Stealth: Basically just an areal radius around a horde in which if you come into they will attack you. Then added functionality replacing the dash key with a stealth key that reduces that area slightly and even more so if you hide behind something like bushes or a tree. This one was much easier to accomplish than the first one.

Other than that I just finished up a lot of database functions, hopefully tomorrow I can finish up work on the core game-play stuff and move on to actually progressing the game.

Day3: THE END OF MAPPING IS HERE!

Actually there's still custcene and some puzzle fixes that I can't do yet, but the gross of the maps are DONE F*CK YEAH. (stuff you autocensor)

So tomorrow I start on the eventing. Ahah.

Ahahahaha....

Ha...

*curls into a ball and cries*

***** MY LAST DUNGEON BE FABULOUS! (I refuse to change the tiles, it's too late. I spent too much time on them ¬¬)

Day 3:

(I swear I keep updating immediately after Indrah..every day )

Today, was a day of me working on the following trailer:




Also I finished off and Released Winter Caves! as part of VXAN's restaff

That's about what I did today with regards to RPG Maker stuff

Day 3

- Today I worked on some more alpha testing (ugh the boss is beatable now!).

- I've also started and still working on a few naughty secret drawings.

So by quantity standards it may not be a lot, but man did it eat up my entire evening...

 

[AwesomeCool]

Day 1

-Worked on adding a priority system to my ai script to my game

-also worked on the script for my game with my partner (doubled the size of the outline)

 

[Shaz]

First off, Shaz, why aren't you in team yellow with me?

I did consider team yellow after I learned that was for mods. I may switch if green ends up with too many people (they're trailing at the moment, so unlikely). Also, my stalker would not be able to follow me to team yellow and I would miss him/her

 

[McTricky]

Day 3:

No work on my game. Instead, I started up plans for the Encounter of the Boss Kind competition. Came up with characters, and started planning skill sets. Wasn't a whole lot though. Was at uni all day and didn't come back till really late ><

Day Three


I'm pretty exhausted from work, so I didn't get nearly as much done as I would have preferred.

• Tweaked the game over common event, largely graphically: Paused all map updates when it's displayed, dimmed the map, changed the player sprite, etc.
• Solved a potentially game crashing script bug that came to light while testing the game over changes.

Might yet tweak it a little bit, but it's conceptually done.

Second entry.

This is the first "Free-roam" area of the project, The Port Town of Jüblee (Joo-Blee not Jub-Lee). I'll be mapping this for the next day or so. I took the standard Port Town map and I've been tweaking it. I plan to remove most of the castle 'filler' that I've placed around the parameter. While it's obviously geared toward the docking of Our Lady's Grace and other types of seafaring vessels, I want to make some fields and other extra things that will eliminate the wall filler.

Day 3

Didn't get a whole lot done today, but I was a bit productive.

*Fixed things in maps I already drew

*Continued on drawing others

DAY 1:

So due to a basketball game today, I didn't get much done, however, I DID manage to replace the secondary character's commands with something more tactical, adding a tiny MP Regen and a super guard commands will hopefully make my battles more unique!

I also managed to update a little more of the database today, adding in the 4th tier armors now!

I've also mapped out the 1st and 2nd floors of the 3rd dungeon as well, hoping to get that done with by this weekend. I haven't playtested that far yet, so no screenshots sadly

Didn't get a ton done, but I managed with the time I had leftover. Basketball games are killer, fun, but exhausting... Man I just want to go to bed...

The creatures that inhabit the land harbor no pitty, no remorse, no mercy. A land who's people are determined to re-write the world, though not all of them.

            [SIZE=12pt]The Abyss, a fracture in the land that has existed as long as people can remember. Partum, surrounded by, "The Fallout." An area where life simply ceased to exist.  Cores of Darkness, spheres that lay scattered across the land eminating of dark energy. Pravus Keep, a twisted and dark structure, abandoned, though formerly housing practitioners of cruel unthinkable magics.[/SIZE]

Nearly missed today. With 20 minutes to spare. What a day..

Didn't get that much done with pixels today, the clouds killed me.

Hoping to make a lot more progress tomorrow.


Pretty ready to call this done now.

@Archeia - great job on the CSS~!

@Makio-Kuta - the banner is awesome too~ ^^

 Looks like I'm going to be switching gears from the 8th to the 15th XD

For today, however:

Spent some time looking at tutorials on sprite creation, and after much fiddling and so on, ended up with these:

In-game:



Better looking than my previous attempt, but I'm still learning ^^;

Started working on animations for them, changed the gauge Sprite display script to accommodate step animations.

Lots of additional scripting - mainly bug fixes and decoupling.

Go Blue Team!
