Try the demo if you're on the fence, or jump right in and start ripping through all these bosses. They're not going to defeat themselves! :)

Our first game goes live next Tuesday! I've already learned so many new tricks that it's hard not to go back and reinvent it, but I still love this cutie.

Okay, the Character Status window is working without any hard coding. Fully populating off of data (thank all the fates). I'm going for a crisp, minimal look for the window colors. But I don't want it to be bland either. Have I gone too far?

Holidays over and back to work. The battle system is really coming along well. I've added a nice auto attack (hold click on a monster and watch everyone dogpile them). Good for ending fights or smaller encounters.

I haven't been doing mapwork lately (tons of battle internals). But I had a great bug and wanted to show it off. My characters look . . . larger than intended. Oops. Initiative tracker is working though! And the Log. :)

The first major spell of the new engine. I wanted to combine a few things at once. Projectiles, tracking, our emitters, and sound. Heck yeah! :) Next challenge--going back to more engine development instead of making 20 more spells. :)

Thanks to Beef Gravy Studios for checking out our game and for the review. Fun folks! :)

Godot continues to be a lot of fun to work with. The weather system and new map layering systems are playing with each other (correctly!). And Audio is still happy. Heck yeah. Make a Darude Meme or MST3K? Bah, no time! :)

Movement Testing
I implemented the new movement system and hooked in a temp footstep sound. I'm 48, and this still made me crack up for way too long. I wasn't going to post today (still in menu hell), but this was a fun break. :)

One of the things that I've found the hardest to change about RPG Maker's systems is the "simple" stuff: menus and UI layout. It fights back when you try to change it.
Which JRPG has the best UI in recent years from your experiences?

I know that in the long run I need to make a better Header Capsule for my game. This one is just GIMPed together, and it shows. But man, capsule work is tricky--always more to learn. Have a great weekend everyone!

Every day can be Caturday if you try hard enough. At least, this kittie thinks so. #JRPG, #IndieGame, #SteamNextFest, #ArenaOfSuffering, #Caturday
