SCREENSHOT SURVIVAL 20XX

bm> Yeah, now that you mention it, it is off. I can't move the face, since it's centred vertically. I'll just compress the bars a bit.

sated> It's the class name :)

I removed the window in the status area (actually, just made it transparent) because I didn't like the clogged up feel the default interface gave. I could add a translucent black background to it though, something like in the battle log window. It should work just as well.

e> page brkrrr!!!

Cash> You were actually quite spot on. The stats do go red if they're at most 10, and go green if they're at least 100. Anyway, I don't think it'll be a problem. None of the actual classes start with values lower than 12 (so the only time they'll see red stats is if they're penalised by conditions and what-not), and stats don't rise much on level up (if at all). It should be uncommon for a character to reach at least 70 in any stat (aside from accuracy) for much of the game, so by the time that they do, seeing all that green'll (hopefully) make them feel moar op.

The 'cleared' is temporary. It's supposed to show how many missions you've completed so far, but 'missions cleared' is a bit too long to fit in that space. Maybe 'progress' fits the bill most. Yeah, I'll go and change it to that.

Did a small amount of work on boned, but listing it sounds like a lot!

Loads more interior decos.
Ladders
New character sprites.
Facesets for Arial, as well as a faceset called sides that have two different looking flowers.
But I can't do all that in a screenshot, so here's me talking to one of the flowers.

I agree with Pizza. When I saw those screenshots I thought of Undertale. Maybe have some originality with the characters atleast? Like have it be bears instead of skeletons etc...

I think the better option is since I've already drawn the sprites, facesets and written dialogue for the three skeleton characters the cherry-enticed boars can await elsewhere.

Keep in mind I am limited somewhat, I mentioned earlier that my spreadsheet for this has 18 different keywords on it. Squirrels and Boars are the only other character types within the sheet. I'm stretching bushland a little with talking flowers, but I'll make palm trees that talk too.

Here's the keywords again.

Ambience | Boars | Skeletons | Water | Squirrels | Berries
Counting | Squatting | Kissing | Falling | Thirst | Bleeding
Survival | Bushland | Drought | Aroused | Miniature | Chilling

The idea behind having a skeletopian leads into that I could make water toxic (as displayed by the main title), the ways to progress would be by offering berries as tribute to boars, kissing squirrels, squats and oats! Counting the flowers on a map to diagnose which way is the 'canon' way. Survival being based off a drought of Deathly Ichor (which is a cooking ingredient that Richard is sent off to get), I'm probably going to introduce arousing / always aroused characters, along with chillable / always chilling characters. Miniature is the artstyle, GEDDIT?

Also your skills are going to be Kiss, Squat, Chill and Arouse, each will instantly win a fight against an enemy.

It's a text adventure game. So there'll be multiple branching paths. Now that I've done the only linear map I can at this stage, it'll be tomorrow I make a flow chart.

everything with skeletons is a knock-off of grim fandango

like corf said just because undertale did it well doesn't mean people haven't been using that style for-fucking-ever. you might as well say IT LOOKS LIKE A DOS GAME

@BM> The characters blend too much with their background. Especially in front of the building. Maybe gray out the building a bit and make it duller?

So I was redesigning the menu from recently, and suddenly had a 'holy shit I actually did it' moment. To show:

I turned the command window horizontal to conserve space, and then maxxed out the status window.

I managed to get my hands on busts, so I decided to show them off in the menu. After an hour or so of toil, I managed to finally display the pictures, only to find out minutes later that galv made a script that does (pretty much) the same thing. Oh well. I learned something new, and I believe I have found an easier method to display busts than galv's method (easier for me, at least). A-anyway.

The odd window in the right (the one with Line: n) is supposed to hold a current-quest-briefing of sorts, but I haven't decided whether I should push with it or not.

I should probably make a new window frame to better fit everything else sometime soon...

Not that hard. It's really more tedious than it is difficult ^_^

Quick map I did this morning, the inside of the Bee Hive Castle.
Still needs a good bit of cleaning up.


The Queen Bee has been being fed poisoned nectar by the Roach Clan, trying to seize power from the Hive.

@Craze I think you addressed most of the main problems I would have pointed out so no point in repeating them.
@Dookie looking good as always.
@BM if your ever going to use the excuse that your ideas came before undertake remember this isn't a really new project. The kickstarter was live during June of 2013 and they already had the demo made.
