Progress on new Combat System
Added 2023-12-21 00:23:47 +0000 UTCHello dear patrons, Dara here.
New combat system is on the way, but still it has lots to do. Yesterday I succesfully added action info panel.
Action Info Panel
When you hover your mouse cursor over an action or a skill, action bar will show details of the action such as it's damage, accuracy, required energy etc.
In mobile it works when you hold your finger on top of an action.
Actually I sat down to create a few skills for Destor but I ended up creating the action panel and it took 2 days already, I didn't even add good UI images for it, I will take care of the looks later.
Skills are different from other actions because they also inflict debuffs on your opponent so I made another interface element to show the details of the debuff.
As seen in the above picture, charge skill inflicts Stun.
This is our skill creator tool, since we don't use any ready game engines like RPG maker, we have to code and design our own tools to add skills, abilities, characters, dialogues easier. We also didn't use an asset for that because it's almost impossible to find what is best fit to your game.
Most skills are planned to have debuffs, so we use this data set for debuffs (and buffs of course).
I still haven't decided what more modifiers should exist but, it's not that hard to add later.
I focused on giving more visual feedback about what is going without over-complicating things with lots of unnecessary interfaces. When you succesfuly inflict a debuff on your opponent a icon of that effect will pop up on top of her healthbar. This is where I left off for today, I don't want to experience a burnout but system and logic behind the interface is done.
I'm trying to speed things up for combat system, because when it is done, it's gonna be so easy to add enemies. This way we will add random enemies that can be easily fought for money and fame. And you will have to fight them to unlock Valeria, Livia, Gloria and other upcoming champions. This automatically upgrades our characters into boss fights.
You can write your comments about what you think so far, see you soon.
Dara.
