Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)


While we may be busy rewriting the game from the ground up (that's going wonderfully BTW) we have been looking into character customization but weren't really sure how to go about it until now. Either we would have to make tons of sprite sheets and give them each sets of animations which is just tedious.

Instead, we're going with a single set. All our character animations in one place. What we can do however is layer different character pieces on top of each other by overriding the base sprite sheet with pixel information from each set.

Further, in the week we will throw together a proper look at the concept but rest assured we're doing all we can to make a good game :P

Available for testing now

VERY early test of very basic systems in my new project. Do your work, keep the lights on, and everything will be fine. I really want to gush about some of the things not seen here, but will save that until they can be shown off. FnafKit who?

Celebrating pride month and all our other brothers and sisters fighting the world over for the personal freedom and rights that are still denied us. Some new menu themes that will crop up on each load up shown.

Opinions on a new graphics style?

Some map progress since yesterday. some arcade cabinet props that just need some textures, tunnels had some more work put into it and the restaurant is slowly being built up.

Quick update on the project, Dialogue system has been rewritten from the old version of the game, functionally the same but a lot easier to use. The camera has been worked on and the inventory is being expanded with things like drag and drop.

Hi everyone, I wanted to put my project back out there after taking some time off. Fnafkit is a game about creating custom fnaf games with no need for programming. I'm also looking for anyone interested in helping out! https://gamejolt.com/games/TKFNAF/444860

Light menu is still undergoing it's refit, some behind the scenes code changes making it easier to edit multiple lights. A light will also toggle on/off depending on its intensity. So custom events don't need to be loaded with two different commands.

Our latest efforts have been rewriting our scene change code and with that comes some lovely transitions made using a greyscale image and a new shader.

Finally, I've had some time to do some more work on the recode. There is hardly anything to see except for this utilitarian clock which can be swapped to 12 and 24 hours in settings. The lighting again changes through the day too.
