Hey, I cannot wait for this system after I saw your video on YouTube.
Party defending the area is so important for a RTS game.
No longer the ABS system just still a story of hero killing enemies.
If the player can control the event, player can build an army in the game. Just like a king.
That will be so interesting.

I really want an action battle system for my game!

 

[Indsh]

Just for anyone who is still watching this thread, I am chugging away, I should finish the game by Christmas so will release when the dust settles in the new year.
It turned out to be a lot more than I expected so if anyones got questions over the next few days I will answer, if not I will stick my hand back in the sand and get on with things. Peace

 

[Selviam]

WOOOOO!

 

[Selviam]

I can't remember if you already said this but will the whole actor team be fighting with you

 

[Indsh]

@Selviam thanks for the question. As this game is made to test what I could make, the game currently has 3 modes which are all Action Battle Systems. The first is where the team just follows the leader as they battle, the second everyone is detached and you control the team by strategy commands and the 3rd is a mix of the 2 where team members can detach and battle or battle as they follow you, I could also make this controlled by stratrgic commands but I think I will make them AI where the settings are determind by how you used your team in the 2nd mode.

Does that answer you question?

 

[Selviam]

Yup and that sounds amazing!

 

[Indsh]

Few more weeks till finish, are there any aspects of the gameplay people have questions on?

 

[Selviam]

I cant wait till its done YAY

@Selviam your support will not go unoticed, and Driftwoods playthrough of your game was definity one of the best! Of course I think you could have a better ABS but the story and voice acting was defo my kind of Jam...loving the StoryWorld!!!

@Ym7884nr Glad to have you on deck!

Hello Indigo! You have what's shaping up so far to be a marvelous system! An ABS that can also allow party dynamics is what I had originally hoped for with the project I'm starting, so I may just work on level design and wait for your plugins to be finished. I will probably have loads of questions when it is done.

That said, I know you're looking for feedback. The only issue I noticed in your demos is, in the infinite storage demo, sometimes interacting with the storage box fails to bring up the menu and you have to interact several times to get it to show the menu.

I want to reiterate how amazing your system seems so far, and I can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[Indsh]

@Nephareus thanks for your kind words, I'm happy people are being inspired. As for the storage boxs thanks for the feed back, thats actully to do with how the boxs open and close and show the bar on how full they are and not the storage plugin itself but I will have to go and sort that for sure!! Any more feed back welcome.

So... the storage boxes may need a slight delay added or something, perhaps? That should be easy enough to event in as needed if nothing else.

Tested out the bomb demo. Looks good, and I like the programmable bombs. I did notice, however, that the regular bombs have no effect on the rocks at all if you throw them while facing upwards. Also, when throwing bombs facing downward, they explode rocks in a '+' shape (5 tiles) instead of a square (9 tiles). Right and left both explode rocks in the 9-tile square shape.

I did a further test with the programmable bombs. They can explode things that are positioned above them, and they automatically face right before explosion, so this might have something to do with the direction the bomb is facing when it explodes.

 

[Nephareus]

I realise you're probably busy, but I'm curious what you use for mapping. What I'm really wondering is: is the IABS going to be compatible with things like parallax or TileD maps? Or will it be too dependent on things in the regular mapping system to work with those?
