Video of Combat test with Pepper Cat
Video of Menu,visual equip,Achievement Screen, and a few other random things
Greetings once again. I have uploaded the video I was speaking of earlier, but for easy of viewing and to keep them as short as possible I uploaded two, both are now linked on my games homepage. I see to be having an issue with the targeting flash, sometimes it freezes the game without an error, and others it works just fine, it is something I’m going to have to work out.
Before anyone says anything on the menu isn’t final, but the base layout most likely is, I probably will change some of it around, but it will remain pretty much the same unless I come up with something better than what I currently design wise have. I think the color scheme is what I will be changing the most, I am not certain how I feel with the monochromatic-ish look it has right now.
Other than the game freezing sometimes, I think I got the combat system set up pretty well, I mean I still have to figure out how to place the image on the combat screen that I want their m the one that will make it look like you are looking out of the Medabots eyes, but mostly I would say that the combat set up is about right. The skills are coming along nicely, kind of rough converting anime/cartoon/card game skills and such to Ace, but I’m getting there slowly, the icons used for the gear will probably be changing a bit, I’m working on learning an icon program , so I can do better icons than what I currently have.
I have a grand total of 5 Medabots so far ready as battlers, and I am about to start with parallax mapping soon. I will tentatively say a demo might be forth coming by the end of this month, depending on how long of days I pull maybe a bit sooner, but not by much. And please remember I said that date was tentative, I’m doing this by myself, and real life might just crop up and bite me in the rear, so it might take a bit longer as well. I will post again about it as I get a better idea how much of a pain my rear the mapping is going to be.
As for the mapping itself, there is going to be around 6 actual maps:
Player House-where the game starts, and Ikki is staying
Store-Where you go to buy actual medaparts, and food when you have enough Medabits
“Bad” Section of town-This is where the Warumono Gang stays normally, and where you have your first run in with them.
Junk/Grave Yard- the place where you battle Medabots to build up your supplies of Medabits/ and or medaparts, you can unlock a fair amount of medals here, there are also missions the Ikki and other will give you that send you here.
MedaCivic Center-The public area of the MedaArena
Meda Arena-The place where all Official Medabot Events are held in this no named town.
I plan on all of them being Parallaxed, but, depending I may have to go back to the editor for the maps, hope not though, the editor maps never look right IMO.
Few new things that you may not have been able to see in the videos:
Medal System-they are kind of like achievements, you unlock them by doing things, but normally you have no idea what those things are, some of the even give active combat bonuses if they are unlocked. (I plan to have 30-40 of these in the demo)
Mission System- the page in the menu video that was completely blank but was divided into two areas? That’s the Mission log area, basically a quest system.Diffrent people will ask you to do things, and you may even be able to get a medal for doing them.
Equip Costs-each piece of MedaGear will/does have a cost assigned to be. You can only equip up to a certain number of points, thus only certain medaparts combos, there is a “best in slot” for each level that your character has attained, and yes your points go up as you level , thus unlocking more and more powerful medaparts.
Ammo-=Ammo is just kept in your inventory, but watch it carefully because if you run out in the middle of combat, well that s it, no more ammo till you can buy/win more.
I am certain there are loads more that I am forgetting, but for now this should be enough, till next time.
