4/6/18 and Marching On
Added 2018-04-07 02:50:29 +0000 UTCBuenas noches amigos,
Just a small developmental post about what I've been working on, what to expect next, etc.
After I made the last post, I worked on restructuring the spanking mini-game to utilize the space better without the facial portraits. The good thing about construct, is that as long as things are not based on screen position, reorganizing objects in the game is very simple. I don't have a picture to show at the moment, but it is a bit reminiscent of the old interface I had in the RPGmaker version. The bar at the bottom of the screen with all of the info and options is now vertical, and on the left, while the actual butt/target has shifted to the right.
In addition to that, I am working on putting the final touches on the inventory and equipment menus. I changed how the system handled a certain value, and I had to rebuild it from the ground up in terms of its events, but I'm just about finished. Now that I have actual stats for the player along with equipment slots that I used for the spanking mini-game, I'll soon be able to completely integrate the "overworld" where the player moves about and the mini-game. Switching between the two will be complicated I expect, since I haven't done anything with switching between layouts yet.
So from all of that, I've decided that the next update will feature a new overworld location, a complete inventory/equipment system, and a spanking that can be initialized from the overworld via a conversation, just like in the old RPGmaker versions. It's a lot to have planned at once, but this will be a big step toward me being able to write scenarios like I did back in the day again.
