WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

Shadows of Adam has been my main project for 3 years. Nearing its end. Going to beta soon and just put out a cool new trailer!

Your game looks so lovably nostalgic. Seeing the game in motion is more impressive than the screenshots you've posted (and those screens weren't bad to begin with)

I'm helping with tilesets now, so our process of filling the map is way faster. I do think we still need some variations of grass to fill some empty spaces, tho.

Don't be afraid of empty space! It gives the player's eyes a chance to rest and focus on what's important.

@Sated
As stated by people above, the brown isn't working since it's too pale, it's drawing too much attention, I would recommend some more tone down colours, such as these suggestions:



(maybe the last blue won't work that much, but grayish tones will work just fine!)

@LockeZ @Kaempfer Thanks! The forum helped a lot. It's funny how I thought the first map was "so great" back then xD

@Ramshackin Thanks for the advice! I'm always looking at those filled maps and envying the 'genious' behind those, so I'm getting a little paranoid. But I'll keep this in mind.

I am reworking some rooms. Adding bunch of destroyable stuff.

Dunno if right place for this, but....this is what I'm "working" on.




This is in every enemy event in the game bar special coding like Auto-Life coding for specific enemies. I actually took the time to put all of these into a Common Event that would replace these in the Turns Elapsed battle event. The question is: Would any of these break if I did that?

I at least got past Pestilence (removed Seven Sins, got rid of Seven Virtues for Hope, gave Hope Resist instead (60 MP, single ally, prevents all buffs and debuffs for 60 turns), and changed her Pox Alleviate skill to Decay (Grants level 5 buffs (25 turns), but at the cost of granting Doom/Zombie to one ally). Still have to code Extinction for her, but that'll be for later. I'm trying to figure out what all I can put into this common event that won't break, since these are all for battles specifically.

Also, yes, there's a lot of Armor/Weapon Bless events, and they're probably what causes slowdown in my game. I would LIKE to keep them, and the Armor Elemental Bless I probably can by changing the coding, which will be easier since I can do that, but I can't really do that feasibly for Armor Status Bless, nor can I do that for Weapon Bless at all. And as you can tell, Weapon Bless has a loooooot of stuff (7 months of 12 hour coding to do it all, and it's not even 100% done. That's how bad it is...). Feature creeping?? I don't know, probably. But with 20-28 characters that you can use, gotta make them all unique and whatnot (though some still need updating because they suck so hard...I'm looking at you Suwako!!).

@Sated I never play Grandia though I have heard of it. I might check it out sometime.

I dunno if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

A lot of flash RPGs do this and sometimes people have problems with it.

Quick typo, Chilly: The popup says "lost her balanced." Adorable, otherwise! I hope that small vertical space will still work well against larger monsters.

So this interesting glitch started popping up randomly since I updated Unity last week. Sometimes, the numbers on the UI will be replaced by hieroglyphics.

Warning: Gigantor screenshot here.

I'm not sure where to even begin tackling this one (I'm guessing something to do with the texture atlas generated for fonts), but infrequent posts on the Unity boards say that it only occurs in the editor and won't happen in builds. We'll see about that.

Double-post! I'm toying with an idea



Chatty enemies! Sometimes between turns, or when certain conditions are met, enemies will have things to say. They play as an animation at the end of a turn, so it doesn't pause input and you can still enter commands as the animation plays through.
