UPDATE TIME!!!
Okay, time for working on DoE has been very scarce lately. However, I have a few things to update!
1 - I am considering minor character redesigns. What I have now are nice battlers and such for some characters, but I've been considering redesigning things slightly. An earring, a signature bracelet, flags, insignia... I've been considering what to place, and where. Who has what. Ya know?
And some of the main characters have some things I figured I might add. If I figure out how to do it, I will. But I'm not so artistically inclined, so we'll see
2 - I decided that the game, should it not have a good amount of animated battlers within the next year, will indeed be "still" battlers. That means that I can also add in a paperdoll system. Swords you swing will change by which you have equipped, etc.
I've also been considering using DerVVulfman's converter, to make MV battlers into XP battlers. Not a HUGE fan of MV battlers, but if I'm de-animating them, that makes things even easier to edit and make my own, eh?
Still deciding on if I want them to step up to attack like FF1, or to run up and whack an enemy with the sword. What do you guys think?
3 - Dragon lore is being placed into the game in a library in a set of volumes. It will be written as a book of information ought to be. I love me some writing, so why not, huh?
I don't know how many volumes there will be, but there will be quotes from dragon diaries as well.
Yeeeeah, dragons are kinda interesting.
I will also include portions of the volumes here. I don't want it ALL given away, but I do want you guys to have some before playing the game, ya know?
Rewriting it all to sound book-ish takes time. And so does googling synonyms-- I mean, using my big brain takes lots of energy. Yeah!
Anyway, gimme a month or something, and I should have it whipped up for ya. Too many appointments lately
4 - HOLY EXPERIENCE, BATMAN!
So I encountered a problem when I playtested the first hour or so of my game.
I uhh... I spent an hour grinding to see something.
It was super easy to grind for a while and get overpowered for the first boss. Like, too easy.
Re-tuning some stats and exp made it easy, but I think I'm going to be using an exp script where I can set my own exp requirements for leveling. There's a script somewhere on save-point that does that, I'm pretty sure...
5 - I need to redesign some screens so they look nicer. Or come up with my own versions. Looking at that kinda stuff.
these things are important to me. I want everything to look nice BEFORE release. BEFORE demo time. Not fixed later. A demo should, in my opinion, mostly reflect the final product. And unless you're going to be getting a professional makeover, it shouldn't change too much, in my opinion.
Which is why I'm hoping that when I release a demo, I hope it will have most of the systems implemented to be tried out. It'll have good and original menus. That kind of thing.
For example, I'm looking at some edits for the main menu screen. How about... when someone's hurt, they have a grimace in their face instead of their regular look?
Yeah, I gots lotsa ideas, both minor and major in scope.
