WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

I’ve been working on a little ring menu system for all the various procedures methods found in Monopolo’s 5th year anniversary edition that work similar to the Secret Of Mana series. It looks pretty cool, thus far. Since I have an 8, 6 and a 4 ring menu system implemented depending on the type of situation and where you are on the board, I have to do this / change the picture coordinates for every single possible combination that’s in the game to align with the sprite. It’s about halfway done; I should have it finished probably sometime by today. I changed it from the original method because I thought it was a bit too bland and a lot of people had complaints about what certain types of actions do when they brought the menu up, so I decided to go along with something like this that was a bit easier to explain. :)

As for me, I've been trying to do a puzzle...




It's not going as well as I'd hope, mostly because I'm terrible at designing puzzles. If you can't tell what's supposed to be going on here, basically: You step on a panel, the panel will take you in the direction it's pointing, so stepping on a down panel will force you to move down. It's one of those puzzles you see in games like Pokemon, Zelda, 3D Dot Heroes, etc.. As you can see, I already have the "correct" path set up, but I'm not sure how to go about dealing with the "wrong" paths or paths that lead to treasure. I want to make it complex but uuuuuuugh...! >_<

Room is 29x29 since I figured I needed the space to work out the puzzle. Plus gives space for wrong ways and treasures and whatnot. The goal is to get to the center, where the key is at. If anyone can help me out with this, that'd be swell...x_x;;

And then after this, I still got 2 more puzzle rooms to make. Oi vey...

That is the right picture. The right path is as you see it right now. The wrong paths and treasure paths aren't added yet because I don't know what to do with them. I tried a rough draft, but that didn't help me at all since it gave me the same problem as putting the room together did. There won't be any pits though...just a bunch of wrong ways and treasure paths.

As stated in the previous message...

Also, 29x29 is not that big, c'mon .=.

Well...yeah, that's what I mean to do. Here, I'll do a quick demonstration of what I'm aiming for, but it's gonna look terrible because it's just a demo and in no way the final version of the puzzle:




Basically, this is what I'm aiming for to a degree. Don't worry if you can't tell which way is right, it's hard for me to see atm anyways. But that's the point as the puzzle is meant for observing and figuring out which way is right. So yeah...Marrend is right on what I'm trying to do...

Afroman!

@Xenomic: You could always do one of those later, when you know how to do them. Another way to provide areas you can't reach from everywhere is to give the room another shape. Right now it lacks the interesting part that a puzzle needs. But it won't be that difficult to fix your puzzle idea to be much more interesting.

You mean like this?



Fences? Who needs stinking fences!?

It's not fully done, but you get the picture. Said desert map gave me a bit of inspiration, and that's all I needed. Still gotta finish the right side up with a treasure path and wrong way and whatnot, but it's turning out good I think~ Still need ideas on two more puzzles though...

@trentinxd: Not sure how I feel about those player sprites myself but...to each their own I suppose.

I just decided to slap together a road-thing today.

I'm making my friend a little battle scene for his birthday. This is it so far.

The boss has three moves so far.




Some new attacks, Kevin wins at halo, and Jeremy Kills himself and turns into a tree.

I took the portal out at the end of the tree attack, and some other adjustments to make it look like the tree guy actually teleports instead of just appear


----------------------------------------------------------
New Battle System + Character animations I just need to make the death animations and holding a weapon animations! Pain in the ass :P.

Nerfed what's been the most offensively powerful class in my online game for years. It's still the most powerful class, but now it beats the second best by more like 20% damage instead of 70%, and it runs out of MP more often.

Drinking the tears of players. Delicious.
