THE WISPS HAVE A LANGUAGE!
This took forever since originally I was going to try to make it into an actual font, and just import that into the game, but after MONTHS of on and off attempts at this I gave up and am now just drawing the words into the text box manually. It'll take much longer than my original plan but it'll be a lot easier.
You won't be able to talk to every single wisp (in reality it'll only be two) but some will talk for lore purposes. You'll be able to find what is essentially a "cheat sheet" to translate their speech. There wont be any spaces in between the words, but words won't be cut off by the end of the line, so the end of a line will definitely be the end of the word.
Example:
wouldnt happen:
ifoundthisweirdfirecreatureanditkeepstealingalltheshinyrocksf
rommyyard.
would happen:
ifoundthisweirdfirecreatureanditkeepstealingalltheshinyrocks
frommyyard.
Next up
Basically all the maps are finished! So that's a decent part of the game done! The most tedious part anyway.
The maps are all done, and the game will be done soon. All that's left is coding the events, the ending cards, getting the sound effects and implementing them.
A lot of the ending pictures have gotten lined out with some done, as well as major creature sprites, like the rooms it's currently not enough to show a huge jump on the progress sheet but there should be some soon!
AND AFTER A VERY INTERESTING MONTH THE OTHER WISP LORE SPOT IS DONE! Sorry about the long wait, I moved jobs, got covid, some big bills, but this was the worst of it! Progress is back!
All of the wisps are drawn out for their page graphics! I'll work on the sprites next, then the extra details not on the page, so after the next update following updates may be slow. I'm admittedly not sure I'm ready to be done with my favorite project...
We're almost there, there's barely anything left to go. I'm getting excited for it. I do have some medical things to deal with next week though, so progress (and so the next update) may be delayed
I've was able to get a lot of the rooms fully finished! A lot more are soon to be done too
A quick clip showing the process of making the entry pictures for the wisps (sped-up from 30 minutes)
The wisps are all finally designed on paper, which was honestly the hardest block for me so far. I'll try to work on the extra details that aren't on the progress sheet in between working on the graphics and sprites.
ALL THE MAPS (including the special secret areas) are DONE! And I've written the entries for more of the wisps, so that's the bar I'm gonna be working on filling next!
