Hey there! 

Haven’t posted for a few weeks, as I wanted to focus on a re-work of the AI system. I was attempting to finalize and fix up the final few bugs in the Enemy AI. But with every bug I fixed, another 5 would pop up (classic). Given this, I decided to just re-code the AI from scratch to be more modular and simple to use. Sometimes it’s just not worth fixing code if a redo would end in a better outcome. 

After 2 weeks, the new AI is has a variety of advancements over the previous iteration. These include: 

  • Improved movement 

  • Improved Stats 

  • Improved Attack Patten's 

  • Improved Defence 

  • Improved Code Readability

Another benefit of this new system is it will allow new enemies to be added with relative ease. Less work for me means more enemies and getting the game done sooner! 

So yeah, with that the Meltdown battles are finished (outside of more enemy types)

The focus now is on fixing the Conversation Battles.

New MEGA Attack - Power of love!

A new update as to what has been going on... Award Winner!

This week the focus was on balancing the game’s character statistics and adding locked Trap Doors. 

We’re teaming up with @NEOWIZ_QUEST to support developers with a narrative game jam! 🤯 The jam kicks off on October 31 in the Game Dev community, so start brainstorming and assemble your team.

This week I've drawn some new Mega Attack preview sprites!

We're about halfway through #Joltober, and here is some of the great art we've seen so far!

Artists are tagged in the article. Be sure to like their original posts!

Explore the tags to see even more great art!

This week, work began on the final revamp to the core mechanics! A redo of the Conversation battle and its systems.

This week I wanted to focus on making each character feel like an individual. So every time you select a character you feel like them. See if you can guess some of their traits?

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Some bug fixes and a new timer this week! Can't keep them waiting forever... Also sorry for being late again. Uni is back this week, so things will be slower again.
