Okay, so I’m trying to layer the battle system on top of the exploration system. You know, give it a bit of that Dragon Quest feeling. Here’s the problem I am having, though. Starting and stopping the battle. See, my thought was just loop through the enemies and see if any of them are alive. […]

Up until this point I had just been using the standard Input.GetKeyDown()` in Unity to check for controls, but I know that can get messy in the future, so I finally made a class that handles all the potential keys, so I can do stuff like `CustomInput.IsDown(MenuButton) in the game and then can add all

Hooray! You can kill things. Well, reducing enemies to zero HP doesn’t actually do anything yet, but hey, it’s getting there.

Now the battle engine is actually creating enemies. Lordy, I am behind on these updates but at least I am coding.

Hooray! I can select things. I forgot to put this up yesterday, so I’m going to cut down on the writing. Just want to say that there is progress being made.

I have not really run into any coding issues lately, mostly just kind of too tired to actually code at night. Not great, as the progress is dipping, but progress is being

Now we are getting somewhere! The basic idea I have is kind of Chrono Trigger/Dragon Quest mix of being able to select commands from whoever is ready to act, while also keeping range complications out of it – for now at least. Rows might come into play, but let’s get a basic batle engine going

Ugh. I usually type my posts in another text editor and paste them in here, but I was in a hurry, then there was a refresh issue before I saved the draft. Don’t feel like typing it all up again. Lesson (re)learned. Anyway, player stats are being displayed. The stats need to be tweaked, I’m

Nothing really to show for today. Lots of coding out stat stuff for the player characters in this game. And this worries me. Is this going to be good? Is this balanced? I suppose that kind of stuff bothers me but there is really no point in thinking about it at this point. I’m making

Created the battle layout. How big the enemies are going to be is up in the air, but I loves me some chunky pixels. Hoping to spend some time getting the backbone of the system up and running next.
