Did some water work today, aka, scouring the (free and/or permitted) work of artists more talented than I am with that sort of thing Found these awesome animated waves by Charlie


Right now I'm debating whether I want to use them as simple flat sprites, or if I want to do a plain plane mesh of some blue color or watery texture, then modify the waves so they are more like actual waves (cutting off the top tiling portion) and stick them in vertically.

The problem I see with that, especially in this scene, is that the river is flowing north to south. Would I want to put vertical waves in the same direction so they match the direction but may be poorly viewed except at extreme angles, or place them perpendicular to the river's overall direction so they are constantly viewed but going against the natural flow as it were?

Water in this game is for environment, a little canoeing, and a bit of fishing. There will be no swimming or underwater or anything like that. If you do happen to go in the water, it will be a local reset and loss of HP (not total death unless you're really that low on HP).

Eh, what the heck. Let's put it to a vote. In the meantime, I'll go back to my save/load problems. Maybe.

Next up

Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient

Did some rough level work in the cave system. Got the long tunnel, and this one is the first puzzle place (if anyone is familiar with the four stairs/doors puzzle in Paper Mario 2, this is going to be very similar).

Battle State Machine is working Player chooses what to do, enemies choose what to do, and they even have variable rates of attack/defend/flee. Next step will be to actually start dealing damage

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
