So, I got bored and started messing around with some old Google doodles, and found the Halloween 2016 doodle.

It was fun, and I kind of wanted to be able to make an RPG controlled similarly. Minimal menus, just gestures to perform attacks and skills. And I've seen a few plugins that allow for gestures, but they're usually just one direction, and they're basically just for using menus.

I wanted to be able to do the following:

  • Define a gesture, such as drawing a specific shape or writing a letter
    • Ideally, being able to do it graphically, either with a specific tool, or just by using image editing software like GIMP or photoshop
  • Have that gesture activate an effect, perform an action, or use a skill.
    • For example, drawing a horizontal line to perform a simple attack, or drawing a triangle to cast a basic fire spell, or drawing an "X" to guard.
    • Ideally, being able to return how accurately the gesture was done so it could affect the skill being used (the more accurate, the more powerful the attack, or the more accurate, etc.).

Is there a plugin for this? If not, would anyone want to make such a plugin?

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
