Important Poll: Skill Button Redesign, Part 2

(And a small WIP preview)


Okay, so figured I'd check if anyone really cares about the accuracy of the text displayed on the buttons.

(And figuring out how much of a time sink this rework will actually be.)

---

Option 1: Have the text not baked into the button render

While it would be slightly less accurate with shading, it would also be easier for me to punch in the text via the event editor. It would also require only about 180 re-rendered frames to get the buttons ready to go.

Option 2: Bake text into button render

I would need time to workshop the accuracy of the text and it's shadow, and I would also need to account for (at least) 1,560 frames.

(And because MMD is a cruel mistress, each one would have to be rendered out one at a time.)

---

Anyways, currently fighting some general burnout to try and get back into getting something done. Still working on making the button more accurate, but the asymmetry is not doing my OCD and novice modeling skills any favors.

Not gonna try to rush this next update, so a last minute 2024 build is not likely to occur.

'Till next time.

Next up

Suppose it was about time that some of these skills got a little extra kick.

Still deciding if it's worth committing to a full rebuild, but I at least figured out a better way to handle the party swapping mechanic.

New look, new direction.

I know it's completely unintentional, but I swear this is the universe trying to convince me to dig my old handiwork out of retirement and do something with him.

That time of year again.

Can it be done?

(Also, Happy New Year)

Suppose it's rude to come back doing polls without showing some sort of progress for it.

I might be having too much fun with this process...

This whole "making a new battle frame" situation does give me an excuse to add some things I had been putting off for far too long.

Turns out what the game actually needed was for me to take a proper break from development and enough time to realize what I had broken.

(It was the values tied to IDing what foe it'd be.)

It'll likely need more testing, but we're back in buisiness!
