Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)


While we may be busy rewriting the game from the ground up (that's going wonderfully BTW) we have been looking into character customization but weren't really sure how to go about it until now. Either we would have to make tons of sprite sheets and give them each sets of animations which is just tedious.

Instead, we're going with a single set. All our character animations in one place. What we can do however is layer different character pieces on top of each other by overriding the base sprite sheet with pixel information from each set.

Further, in the week we will throw together a proper look at the concept but rest assured we're doing all we can to make a good game :P

Next up

Finally, I've had some time to do some more work on the recode. There is hardly anything to see except for this utilitarian clock which can be swapped to 12 and 24 hours in settings. The lighting again changes through the day too.

(Mines and menus preview build)

Available for testing now

Light menu is still undergoing it's refit, some behind the scenes code changes making it easier to edit multiple lights. A light will also toggle on/off depending on its intensity. So custom events don't need to be loaded with two different commands.

working on a new mechanic for the prototype. no need to wander over to those far away items when you can just send in your drone.

The red sock continues his wandering of the multiverse for an object of great power. Taking on a fellow traveller on his way.

Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)

Hi everyone, I wanted to put my project back out there after taking some time off. Fnafkit is a game about creating custom fnaf games with no need for programming. I'm also looking for anyone interested in helping out! https://gamejolt.com/games/TKFNAF/444860

Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P
