Dashing

Tossing

I really want to use this feature for puzzles, but I can't think of a good one lol. Maybe I'll just make objects that do something when you yeet them.

Box

You can lift it, and you can smack it. Maybe I should put more velocity into the smack.

NPC Reactivity

It's a small thing, but I added this system so that other game objects can pull the attention of NPCs nearby so that it seems like they are reacting to what the player or environment does. I really need to look into drawing more sprites, all my game characters have so little in terms of expression. It's a bit sad...

New Frame Plus (on Youtube) has a series called The Animation of Final Fantasy. It is a really good look at the importance of animation and its impact on storytelling. I plan to use whatever I can from the series to guide how I animate and express my game visually. I don't know if on my own I'll even scratch the multitude of means by which Square Enix did the impossible, but I like to dream.

Busting

Don't mind me, just bustin' up some crates.

Stacking

Very useful feature, totally not a pain to work with due to the submenus needed to select what you're acting on and then select what you're doing... I plan to make this a gimmick in at least one dungeon but maybe I should look into streamlining the process before that haha.

ngl these old mockups are cringe. What's worse is, I know they're cringe since I end up redesigning them in the future... but the redesign isn't in the game either (although I'm working on it so I can push a new build) Speaking of builds if you join the discord server you can play them (if I haven't switched anything up by the time you read this) you should join and watch me get the slowest percent speedrun world record for indie game development. I would put a link here but it's 1 am and I have like 30 more twitter posts to push over onto here.

reposting everything kinda sucks, but like I haven't been making a lot of new content while I've been focusing on the story so hopefully, this will hold over? maybe. I should work on my game more.
