Well, i tried to copy Digimon Dawn/Dusk as best i could think of, luckily i watched a lot of reviews about Digimon games (Non related, i was looking for Dawn game clips, i found “Digimon Dawn is a waste of time” clicked, and the dude was cool so i watched all the Digimon episodes)
I did tried to save a lot of time for players, as i said, i like grinding, getting exp and get stronger characters, but i would like to save some valuable time while playing, so i tried to do short moves, or skippable events (Right now you can press “Z” and all the Spawning digimon will instantly appear with no animation, in a future this will be in option for faster gameplay)
In this image the screen scrolls just like in the NDS, until you select Attack or one Skill (I gave the opportunity of non MP attack in the first command, not sure if it was a good idea), i already implemented the attack and skills system, easy to add 1, 2 and 3 zones attack (Yup, attack 3 Digimon with one skill) or multiple attack, select 1, 2 or 3 times (You can hit a Digimon three times or one for each or two at one and the last at someone else), the system is very easy, i’m thinking on adding a tri zone tri attack, but it seems just too OP.
Items aren’t implemented in battle yet (But maybe i could easily insert them like skills, i’ll find the best aproach for this)
Run Away isn’t active too, it already has the RNG and shows a message if you had luck or not, but it does nothing (Is easy to make, but i have more important things to do)
Finally Species/Types and Attributes are here, this pic shows the Species/Types of Digimon
Dragon Roar: Dragon like Digimon (Lizards, Dinosaurs, Magma monsters?)
Jungle Trooper: Monsters who can live in a Jungle? (Plants, Insects, Greenish animals?)
Nature Spirits: Monsters who don’t really fit in other species (Weird stuff like Tsunomon, Patamon, )
Wing Guardians: Birds like Digimon (Mostly anything with wings that isn’t in other species)
Metal Empire: Machines, Androids or very Electrical Digimon
Deep Savers: Water Digimon (Living in the sea!!!)
Nightmare Soldiers: Edgy boys (Demons, Dark monsters, or weird abominations)
Virus Busters: Nice Boys (Angles, holy stuff and mostly human-like)
Well, if i see it like that. Fire burns plants and insects, Plants and Insects poison Nature Beasts, Nature Beasts hunt Birds on trees, Birds… Poop on metal? or put a lot of dust into your CPU, Metal use a lot of electricity on Fishes.
This was for evolution purposes, more Exp of that species will let you evolve into one, but i guess to make it “good” i have to introduce elements (Too much i tough), but i see Fire can Burn plants and cook Fishes, so… is something weird…
Maybe i should stay with Virus, Data and Vaccine? or this list somehow has logic?
Even if i “Quit” Species in battles, they will be inside the game, for example, you want your Tsunomon to evolve into an Agumon, well, you can raise your odds if you start “absorbing” his data (Just kill him and get exp, kinda like in Digimon Tamers)
I’m adding side touch features (For Android apk maybe?)
