Weekly update 7: Cosplaying as programmer
🕑 Added 2020-08-24 01:57:40 +0000 UTCSo my biggest accomplishment as a programmer to date is this beauty
"What does this victory text over a clearly royalty free background means" I'm sure you will be wondering
Well, it means magical girl beaten a blob only with punches
Nothing more than punches, while being invisible because she has no sprite yes
Yup. I made a battle system and that "victory!" you see there is the battle finishing with a success. A work of 5 days straight. I could not sleep well for two nights battling in my head how to overcome certain issues I was facing but is done.
So is this going to be a boring text based battle thing?
Oh no no
This one goes kinda deep. Not deep deep. But still deep
So it has not slot-bound characters. Means that every character can enter whatever slot either enemy of friendly,as long as I define them properly and do their animations of course
Each character has 6 stats: HP Attack Defense Speed ST. Ailments affinity and ST ailments resistance
Each attack is defined globally
Each process inside the battle system is done as globally and modular as possible, this means less chances of bugs and such
I know, this is not programming. Only command blocks but I still made it mmkay? I has only being exposed to C++ and that long ago. This is was 100% from my head.
Cool isn't it?
This will be the mini-game inside the Visual Novel we are developing btw. While this minigame should be important for the game. The main thing is the visual novel
This battle system so far I'm seeing it WITHOUT exp/level scaling. I'll use the visual novel itself to upgrade the stats and skillset of the characters
So for the ANIMATED sprites I'll be using. I decided to go between 64x64p or 128x128p. Concept art for mobs/character comes in next update... maybe? Anyway. This should be the color palette I should be using. Very bright and only 32 colors. To keep stuff simple and colorful and not destroy myself animating in the process. This next week I'll do more testing to see if I should change this anyway. Not confirming this side.
That should be it for this week. Thanks for reading and support the patreon if you haven't!
