It's finished! Or, well it's a finished mess! I scoped way too big inside my little head, then went and found out that just making the basics of a turn-based RPG is HARD! So, there's nothing particularly fun about the mechanics and the polish level degrades rather quickly throughout. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now.

 

THANKS toblix, SO MUCH for all the music! :tup: :tup: :tup:

Progress so far: Jake can open AND close a chest, thus he is able to imagine that the chest is talking to him.

Kids and house chores left me too tired to jam this weekend, but I managed to sketch a few more characters for the game:

Looking nice. (And it's awesome to know someone else is dealing with kids and chores too :D )

Yeah.. :( The nerve of them to schedule the jam right when I have to clear the garage before the Mr. Garbage comes to pick it up! :tmeh:

I like how with his unchanging gaze, he looks like he's hurrying to use the restroom. This Wizard Jam has proven that this message board is full of really talented folks. It's the best.

Forgot to properly place that battle selctetor indicator before GIF'ing this.. Also, I had problems typing selector all the time so I renamed the sleector graphic to skeletor. Pro tip.

Putting some of that updated art in. I'm still way behind, but it's getting somewhere at least!

Alright, first pass at a battle system is in. Enemy still doesn't attack back, poor Team Evil Vanaman. I really need to get started on some animations soon, those lifeless guys are starting to weird me out..

I worked a bit on the battle system (You still can't actually WIN a battle! Yay!) but ended up spending more time on a MUCH MORE important thing, the title screen:

There are still no actual bones in this game, Big Bird or otherwise, so that needs fixing immediately.

That is SO flashy. Befitting of such a weighty legend!

Ok, so animating using Timeline Animation in Photoshop is much faster than the bullshit Frame Animation, which I just assumed was the way to go. WELP! So this is going faster than before, yay!

Thanks! :)

 

It took forever, but now the whole Thumbs Team is in!

I'm so close to finishing the battle system, and then I can move onto just setting a couple of battles up for the world and HOPEFULLY get a very simple dialogue system in. And of course, the bones. Gotta do the bones.

 

Oh, and I have received three pieces of MUSIC from none other than our good ol' toblix! The music is awesome!
