:THE GAME MAKING DRIVE/BLOG TOPIC

Yesterday I wrote some more in my walkthrough for the game, often this is when I get some ideas for future events in the game, and I also started to make it where you will slide the direction the slopes show in the ice cave. If the slope is steep, you won't make it over it.

Okay okay, I will look at those screenshots, no need to post about then anywhere elese :P

Anyway:

From 10:00am to 1:00pm: DLed and tested RMVX... hate the tileset limitations and likes too fewq things to use it. Back to work on my sprites.

It has been pretty helpful. I actually took the last week off from RM entirely, because there was a lot of stress and chaos in my life at the time. The 'personal week' started with one of my dogs dying, and is ending with me taking my other dog to vet' as she continually throws up blood. Along with other things in between. Lovely. Anyway, I'm resuming work tonight. ._.

I did absolutely no work on Mage Duel today.

CLEST, IRONICALLY, DID THIS FOR MAGE DUEL TODAY:

Anyway, Elydia regular version:

And more spiffy version with a thunder spell charging :P

Wow, that's pretty good. Is that from scratch, or is that an edit of something?

10/11-
Began by setting up an array to put in enemy immunities. Then I moved on to what I mentioned before, damage calculation for 1 out of 6 scenarios (player attacks enemy, as opposed to player criticals enemy, or enemy attacks player, etc). Then I started trying to make a fancy visual effect for the damage, and failed epically. Rest of the time was spent trying to fix that, which was stupid. I got rusty or something. Also, more music.

~Started this ^.^

RealmS
Mapped some more of a graveyard.
Fiddled with hero and monster stats a little.
Added more monsters to another dungeon area.
Messed about with some NPCs in Louvre.

Celdrans Curse
Added more sounds.
Toned down the music a bit and added some in quieter areas.
Fiddled with hero and monsters stats - adding skills and making battles a bit more balanced.


A decent amount so far. Probably do a bit more mapping and editing in RealmS before days end.

Whoa, very interesting Nessiah o.o

Anyway: from 4:30pm to 5:30pm:
Edited my charset template to look better and be a bit smaller... not finished editing though.

I would join up, but there's no way that I have set times to work on my game. Being a parent makes that a challenge sometimes, y'know? I can hardly program an event without my baby "trying to help", AKA slamming on the keyboard. You know how many times I've had to program a certain NPC? 15. 15! I've redrawn three maps, one map that I wanted to look a certain way I redrew 10 times... ah, man... but I still love my baby! She just wants to help! Ahahahaha!

Maybe just a certain day of the week? I try to work 15 minutes a day on my projects at least, an hour if I can swing it.

Move to a new engine, Ness.
