Got room-transitioning done in sub-terra, but there's a small glitch with the camera!

Messing around with a new character and lighting style

[diwil]

Monsters, combat, pathfinding.
Pathfinding was surprisingly easy to do though. Making sure the enemies don't clump together and form a nice circle around you is a bit trickier to do right.

I like the blur on the sword.

I like the blur on the sword.

I don't, he's moving way to slow for a blur on it to make sense. If he was swinging it, yeah sure, have a blur, but he's just walking around.

[Rat Casket]

The sword is full of magic power dude. Relax.

[powly]

Reminds me of the infinite sword glitch in OOT - not in a good way, though.

reworking the ui, spent the day getting the values to pass. still lots to do.  this will allow the user a lot of flexibility for creating shortcuts.  arranging assets, and working with other internals, like custom brushes/tools.  Well the idea is there at least.

Do you have a devlog for this?  It looks really cool.  Something about the colour choices gives me Amiga vibes.

Heh, the trail is actually a bug, I was too busy messing with the character and animations, though. I'm curious how people think the style looks, whether I should bother pursuing it further or if I'm wasting my time.

I have a swing animation now. I'll make a second one soonish and post another GIF.

Added a gypsy to my RPG, she deals Tarot cards. I'm going to program the cards to do something special.

Thanks. My pathfinding system is very similar to it.

Not yet. I'm afraid maintaining a devlog will take away from the dev time and I will obsess about the replies, views and all that too much.
I want to work on the game a little bit longer before opening a devlog. It's only 2-3 weeks in dev so far. It's something that has to be done though.

I have some new cool things in, monster awareness AI, ranged combat, equip-able bows and sound effects for most things.

mathmatical

trying to organize/visualize the information, so I decided to start small with basic math operations I'll be using later.  right click opens up a context menu to drop modules, green nodes are male, blue are female, drag green to blue.  will break if you create certain loops.  properties are loaded from getters/setters, using as3 way of reflection, making modules is a breeze.

Feels good to be working on this again.

Correction.

Motion blur:



Motion trail:



The sword in that picture has a trail, not blur.

[feminazi]

the trail is blurry tho

[nihilocrat]

If anyone gives a crap it is, indeed, a trail: a transparent mesh which is updated per-frame to create a polygon strip behind the blade.
