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.

More WIP Inventory

I spend a lotta time tweaking designs instead of coding, which I feel guilty for... probably because my project's viability suffers a bit each time because I want it to look perfect before the first implementation... maybe ill spend a month doing quick and dirty sprints where I implement features in a week... maybe

Dialogue and Camera

So this is really basic but also really cool. Once you get displaying text sorted, a cool feature you should add to your dialogue system is the ability for it to move the camera around, with good application I think you can get really cinematic with it haha. In-game cutscenes are kinda crazy now that I think about it. I wonder if there are any resources diving into how studios tackle making them. I need to hit up the GDC vault lol.

This was back when I was testing layouts rapidly. Probably the only time in my art career that I trusted the process.

discord?

Box

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