Im currently trying to improve aspects of the battle system. Right now im focused on the battle dialog box thing, i decided to make it stay in one place, (atleast for the player one), to make it more consistant and easier to read.
Before there was a issue with it clipping out of bounds and making it hard to read, this solves that issue.
Theres also other aspects im trying to redesign, mainly dialog bloat. Im trying to rely on animation instead of some text saying " 'character' casts 'spell' on 'character2' ",
Which imo, is kinda boring....
Something about UX design i enjoy is coming up with ways to convey information more effiecntly. (I cant spell for the life of me today.? )
I also reworked how back end the menus worked, which now you can flip between menus like any other game by pressing X (assuming keyboard)
Loading...Next up
while the player sprites are like mostly place holder, (imo needs touchups by someone experienced :] ) This is good progress to what i vision this game being. The tile art is official
Made a working news feed! Just place holder stuff for now. (It uses my public github repo to get the sprite and text)
A sneak peak of the battle engine :]
Deciding on how big the screen space should be, this might be the way i go (Dont mind the mixels with the menu for now)
Debating wether i should switch to pixel art for Dust matters Just a thought for now, but its more likely If i do switch I might reuse DRID assets idk. The Battle Background looks cool in pixel art
Made some progress this week, i cant wait to make more! I'll leave a lil dev log of my progress and stuff.
fixed player desync! Lets gooo
Small update, realized that the dash blur wasnt working. Heres a screenshot of how it currently looks.
Battle engine wip
*slowly* adding multiplayer. This is just a testing ground, but it took me like 15 hours straight to get to this point. Still buggy... But its progress!
