If Archeia made the designs then I called it and you all owe me money.

 

[esby]

What designs?

 

[Ikari]

Oh, nevermind then. I thought Archeia made some of the graphics/aesthetics, but I suppose it was you. Good work.

 

[SomaelCK]

Amazing! This does emulate the old DS game feel.

Might I know which script do you use for that tactical battle system one? Custom-made?

 

[Evan Finkel]

@Ikari Facesets are from DS+, from what I remember.

I've finished implementing everything I wanted without breaking anything.

Found a crafting script that's suitable for the game. Skills are learned by equipping them and defeating enemies. Actors gain them permanently once they've gained enough AP/LP (Learning Points). Skills now target individual body parts letting you target legs to reduce movement or arms to reduce damage etc.

Attribute/Stat Points are gained on level up and let you customize the characters.

There's a new sleeker menu with icons that actually fit my line height.

Demo shouldn't be long now

 

[Goodfella]

This looks really good. There's some features that I was looking into implementing in my game before even seeing this thread, so I'm sure I'm going to enjoy playing this. Any idea when a demo will be released?

 

[shir0hana]

Looks really awesome. I love the idea & the DS style of the game. Can't wait for more c:

Goodfella - Hopefully have it finished within Febuary. Hopefully release it not long after that depending on how long it takes to test and fix any issues

Shir0hana - Thanks

 

[The Stranger]

I'm looking forward to playing the demo. Everything is shaping up nicely.

 

[esby]

Just wanna know which version everybody prefers. Do I go for subtle light fx or just leave as is.

 

[The Stranger]

The second screenshot, the subtle lighting, looks much better. The first one just looks misty.

 

[YakuzaMakoto]

I would like  somwthing between both.

 

[C-C-C-Cashmere (old)]

I'm not sure which one I like. They both look good for different reasons. The second is crisper and clearer and you can see the finer details, but the first one has a really nice moody atmosphere.

 

[esby]

I'm looking for a couple people with a spare hour or so to play through the demo before release and provide a little review and feedback. I'll send you the demo this Thursday and ideally I'm looking for feedback by the following Thursday so I have time to make adjustments for the final release. Not looking for an in depth critique or anything, just your initial thoughts and anything you feel can be improved upon. Send me a PM if interested

 

[Quigon]

This looks interesting! I like the retroness of it all. The minimal colors and UI is pretty tasty. I'll keep my eye on this fo sho.

 

[esby]

It's been a while but I'd thought I'd share what I've been up to. I was hoping to have released the demo by now but I've just been crazy busy over the last month or so. I'm dropping the minimal resolution because it's a nightmare to work with and Horror City was finally released and I think it's perfect match for XIX. I'm planning on entering IGMC this year so I'm hoping to have the demo out before then but it really depends how quickly I get everything back up and running.

Have a before and after comparison.
 

 

[Soach]

Where this Retro tiles (on 2nd map) dwells?

 

[esby]

You can find details here.

 

[morlockhater]

Looking forward to seeing more of this! Any idea when a demo may be coming our way?
