Ability classes


So, one thing that I don’t think I’ve touched on very thoroughly yet is weapon classes. You can only bring one weapon of each class into any given battle without using your mid-battle ability change. Allow me to introduce you to the four classes of abilities you’ll be working with:

Primary weapons: These weapons tend to focus their firepower on one target.
Secondary weapons: These weapons tend to have ways of hitting more than one target.
Summon attacks: You can only use one of these per battle. They’ll definitely be your most powerful weapons to make up for it.

And lastly:
Defense abilities: These provide you with various helpful, somewhat more passive abilities. This includes things like a shield to reduce damage, a reflector to reflect attacks, a damage booster, etc.

Of course, I’m still working on the exact specifics, since not every class actually has a weapon yet (most notably, there aren’t any defensive abilities implemented, though I do have some ideas, and there aren’t any summons implemented, and I’m not 100% sure what they’re going to do yet). Still, this is the general concept I plan to use for the weapon mechanics.

Not a particularly big update, but hey, I figured I’d post it anyways.

Next up

More graphical improvements (Note: Image is scaled up quite a bit, click on it to see it at the original resolution. Also, for some reason, it thinks I uploaded two images.)

They say the third time's a charm. Well, here's take 3 on the player sprite... consider it graphical improvifying phase 2.

...?

Oh, did you think this was dead...?

...nah, but it was on hiatus.

I can't promise any kind of release date on anything here. Just can say I'm trying to get some more progress done now. Might actually release this update some day... maybe...

Currently trying to make the out of bounds areas in the upcoming (and eventual, please have a bit of patience, this may take a while) update look a bit cooler via unusual skyboxes and using a fade to transparency instead of a fade to black for fog.

Graphical improvifying

A new boss has been coded!

Sometimes, you've just gotta stop and smell the flowers, ya know?
