MAKOINFUSED'S PROFILE

Step 4: Go through every single event where the old version of an item was used and change it to its new location in the database.

That's why when I start a project I have a common event for this sort of thing (not trying to sound condescending!). Pick a variable, set that variable to the id of the item you want to use and call the common event which would be filled with fork conditions and different item receiving events, each fork will give the item based on an item you select (don't use the variable to pick the item)-- do it manually so you can change it later if necessary. The only downside is that you can only have one item at a time, because I'm assuming you'll want a message to display the name of the item.

Unless of course you get fancy and use the variable to represent "treasure ids" where you pick a group of items to be given, but then you would have to repeat yourself many times.

Either way they would, at the very least, all be centralized! Besides you never know when you might have to change it all again. Good luck!

Hope everything is going well for you, looking forward to some news about the game. :)

Thanks, I appreciate the support! I'll be posting PLENTY soon enough.

Oooh, nice update, thanks. :)

Thanks, glad you liked it! No need to thank me though, I'm just glad someone's watching!

Drop me some comments in the blog if you have suggestions in relation to what you would have liked to see from the demo. Being that you've played the demo thoroughly, I trust your opinion.

Also, I noticed you had some problem with the New Game + mode? If you really want I can try to fix that, and update the demo (just to give you something to do while I work on the game). Although, make sure that you have latest version first, because I could have sworn I fixed that problem during beta testing.

Let me know what you think!

EDIT: Also, another question. It didn't show any earned money or EXP at the end of the battle because you didn't program that fight to give you either one, correct?

Yeah, I didn't add rewards yet.

Speaking of battle rewards...it would be really cool to add 1 or 2 (or 3) different types of battle result window choices. Like perhaps adding the option to have it like the default (just a boring textbox). Then also allowing one that is a giant text box in the middle of the screen that has different pages which display different things (exp, skills learned, items found). And the third option to allow a player to call a common event (so they could make their own result window!).

I think that would be epic, and it really wouldn't require too much programming.

What do you think Wolf?

The graphics are going to be updated, might still use LSW sprites though. I am making my own card graphics, still working on them. Once I finish the graphics I will be changing the HUD.

Awesome, well I thought I was being helpful. However, it seems you have it all worked out. I'll be watching!
