Games in Cafe Dot

Happy March everyone! I hope you're all doing well! Worked on magic, enemies and making things more efficient this month!

Testing out Mulit-shot magic, I like it but I'm not sure if I'll use it.
Maybe as a charge attack?

Changed how the Leech skill works.
Instead of it being just data, it makes a Magic Object, which approaches the creator.
This gives you a chance to kill the enemy before they get healed.

Might make it so you can kill the Object too? Might be too broken

Testing out Bouncing Spells, and leaving AoE spots like Fire as they bounce (not on collision).

Again, not sure if I'll use this but nice to have as an option.

Particle Collisions!

Could have done this by spawning a temp object to control the collision particles, or the over/under systems I use for some other particle stuff.

Instead I'm just using the trail system, but hiding the sprite and adding a death timer.

Added particle trails to the Ice Shard and Fireball spells. (should Iceshard by one word? Fireball is only one because of common use right?)

I think it looks good, but I need to adjust the colours, maybe use the palette instead.

Hmm, trying particles with my magic system. I don't think they really work with the Static Shocks spell.

Also adding a lighting effect, but it doesn't apply to the particles.

I tried, but the offset isn't updated Hmm.

Huzzah! I now have AoE attacks!

I've swapped to having Magic Staffs instead of having to hold a second button to use Magic.

I'll see what else I can come up with but this fixes the keyboard ghosting issue for now.

Now I have Fireballs!

I now have Magic!

kinda.
