DREADPIRATE'S PROFILE

Looking good! Can we use our old saves or should we start over?

Hey kaempfer, how you doing my man. Old saves should be fine. If you encounter issues with it let me know where your save was started from and I'll see exactly what's up with it. Even so, the worst thing that can happen I think is an out of place cut scene,

Cool Kaempfer, I'm glad you found some time to check it out. You don't have too much further to go unfortunately, although I have more almost ready to upload I want to make sure I have a decent amount of new content before I upload it as to not update the download with minimal added game play. I noticed dragonheartman blew through that first boss pretty easily as well due to being a higher level than I anticipated a player would be. I've come up with a solution I think, on the next boss I have programmed his HP dependent on the players level as to account for a player that is over leveled. It basically acts on a sliding scale based on a player's current level, so the bosses stats will all stay the same but the HP will be increased as to provide the player a bit more play time wen fighting the bosses. I work pretty hard on the bosses so I want them to have at least a bit of face time with players haha. Now that you're telling me you blasted past him pretty easily as well, I think I'll go back and do the same thing to the Boom Bloom boss HP.

Hey dragonheartman just thought I'd say your menu looks great so far. I'm a big fan of not covering up the play screen completely with menu. It helps to not detach from the action so much when i'm bombing into a menu mid game. Looks awesome.

Awesome dragonheartman, I'll be glad to hear what you think of the added content. I was already very aware that the game was lacking something and when I got kaempfer's feedback and watched you play in the video it pretty well hit me how I needed to tighten it up with the story. That and narrowing the scope of what I had in mind for the project helped me decide on introducing a few ideas earlier than initially planned. Now that I have, it definitely feels right I think when playing it myself anyways. But my lens is so bias haha. Can't wait for you to give it a rip my man. Thanks for following my progress, it helps my motivation I think.

That's awesome, I appreciate the open book approach. Actually, since you mention it, in gamemaker you can declare local variables within an object and track that objects x and y values right there within the event itself. 2k3 it seems you have to burn up valuable variable resources to achieve this. Did any of you dynrpg OG's ever achieve anything similar within 2k3 using comment commands? Just curious. When I started playing with gamemaker it stuck out to me because in Onix rift tracking coordinates is critical for everything and it's a bit of a process making sure 2 reusable variables aren't being used at the same time on any given map.
