BigJKO Posted April 10, 2015 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: http://itch.io/jam/wizard-jam/rate/23336 Progress so far: Jake can open AND close a chest, thus he is able to imagine that the chest is talking to him. Old: Alright, just plopping this thread down. I'm starting NOW! Will update later. First sketch: And the new project with Placeholder Jake in place: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 10, 2015 My Jake Physics are possibly slightly incorrect at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WilloughbyJackson Posted April 11, 2015 Jake does a 1440 off the stump followed by a reverse 1080 into a face slider. NICE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 12, 2015 Kids and house chores left me too tired to jam this weekend, but I managed to sketch a few more characters for the game: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigJKO Posted April 13, 2015 (And it's awesome to know someone else is dealing with kids and chores too ) 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigJKO Posted April 15, 2015 I... had little baby duty last night, so I didn't get as much done as I wanted. Man, I am WAY behind already. This is a bummer. But, yeah, coroutines are in, yielding and such, to create a SUPER COMPLEX CUTSCENE: https://twitter.com/jonkristinsson/status/588095601700691968 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RubixsQube Posted April 15, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 16, 2015 I'm jammin' tonight! Team Jake and Sean and Sean.. and Sean VS SEAN! 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old News Belida Posted April 17, 2015 Ah, man, this looks good. Great job on the art! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 17, 2015 Putting some of that updated art in. I'm still way behind, but it's getting somewhere at least! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 17, 2015 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.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 17, 2015 I think.. I think i'm done for tonight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 20, 2015 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.

BigJKO Posted April 20, 2015 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! EDIT: Slightly updated: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RasmusS Posted April 20, 2015 Those are some really nice animations, great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 20, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtanstic Posted April 20, 2015 That looks amazing. Looking forward to trying this out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
