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
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!
A quick clip showing the process of making the entry pictures for the wisps (sped-up from 30 minutes)
I HAVE ONE OF THE LORE SPOTS BUILT WITH THEIR LANGUAGE! I swear it won't look like that in game, this is just showing the work. At first I hated that the letters didn't look as good if I kept them level, but the uneven-ness gives it a cute look i think
The sprites and graphics are getting done much faster! I found a nice spot at a park and it's really helping my productivity
Sorry about the late update, got hit with some health stuff. Still making progress though!
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
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.
All the sprites that I needed to hand sprite are now done! I'l be honest I was expecting those to take the longest, but here we are!
The ending cards aren't fully polished enough for the bar but I did make some good progress on creatures and the spider room entirely!
