Project Status: Temporarily ON HOLD (Editted as of: Jan 31, 2008 THU)
Due to the immeasurable amount of workload college is giving me, I cannot continue making the game for a good while. I spent my Christmas vacation doing projects, now I need to pass several difficult subjects plus some field research. I'm not sure I can do it around April either (summer vacation here), since I'll be taking summer classes to catch up.
One good thing about it though: because of this I spent a lot more time documenting the game on paper, so the problem of levelling stats is solved for me now. It won't be just click X button to raise stat (like in Stick RPG), but rather, you play mini-games. How well you do there will determine how much EXP you get. This is also great because that means high score tables are definitely in.
Another reason is the lack of motivation, as always. :/ I really need to get motivated.
So when can I continue working on this? Definitely not on February, and very likely most of March, so that means I *might* be able to start putting more work late March.

Last Updated: Nov. 22, 2007 (THU)
- New attack: Flip Escape (Back + Light Attack)
- Implemented Critical% and Faint% (aka Stun) for all attacks. "Faint" makes you or the enemy temporarily stunned (indicated by a "dizzy" icon), making it easy to do a back attack (does 1.5x damage). Critical Hits deal 2.5x more damage, has 3x knockback and increases the chance of inducing Faint by 2x (indicated by a red splash).
- Added an item that now actually works. It restores your HP gradually when used, ala-Diablo II.
- Reworked the coding again. Dumped all the initializers in a separate scene just to make things cleaner.
- There's now a red on the lifebar, which decreases gradually to match your lifebar. If that didn't make sense, just imagine the lifebars in fighting games.
- New animations: Faint
- I'm having a very difficult time finding a "cure" sound effect.
- All the older updates will be stored in a link below.
Priority Updates:
- More items
- More moves
- Item "cooldown", so you won't go spamming items.
- Item inventory. You can only carry up to a small amount of items. You gain slots by raising you Pack Rank.
- Skills (buffs). I'll likely do the ATK+, DEF+, Faint%+ and Critical%+ and Item Cooldown Speed+ and Effect+. Darn, I'm excited to do this, lol.
- Player faint and critical, because so far the only the enemy can get stunned. Plus, some sort of "mashing" here to get out of Faint faster.
GENERAL INFO:
So this is the next game I'm working on, since I decided it would be the easiest one to code, and that I wouldn't have to worry about duplication or angles much.
It'll be a wolf sim game, where you have to work your way from being the bottom of the pack (Omega) to the top (Alpha). I'm currently working on the fighting. Well, so far, I've only done several animations, but I'm adding more as we speak. Also did basic AI for the enemy. Yeah, I just tinted him red. :P I'll draw them later.
I hope to make this a fun game. Well, gotta get working!
