Eliwan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) maybe the familiar would move to the player on player phase, and protect on NPC phase. ... But... what? How could you command the familiar to move during both player and NPC phases? :O So... for example on the event-side.. would it be anything like -- 'if (summoner unit) deployed' (like how the vanilla game has the post-recruit-chapter convos) -- place (familiar unit) at [location specific to given map], under ally control? (end of map) --if (familiar unit) is on the map/rescued, (familiar unit) gains a level ?: The logistics of this are important to figure out because of how the player would use it. For example, as a player, I would call the above absolute garbage and would rather have the familiar deployed as my own unit. d= Which solves the problem of needing an AI for it in the first place, right? :/ That's just event assembler + adding the familiar as a separate unit; right? Not sure how event assembler works, I haven't dabbled in it yet ;_; Edited May 5, 2015 by Eliwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghast Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 glad you jumped in for input, Eli! Answers in bold ... But... what?How could you command the familiar to move during both player and NPC phases?:OMOVENEXTTO (unit) at the end of player phase so it would always be at the master's side, and on NPC phase, it would attack enemies adjacent to the 'master'So... for example on the event-side.. would it be anything like-- 'if (summoner unit) deployed' (like how the vanilla game has the post-recruit-chapter convos)-- place (familiar unit) at [location specific to given map], under ally control?(end of map)--if (familiar unit) is on the map/rescued, (familiar unit) gains a level?:The logistics of this are important to figure out because of how the player would use it.For example, as a player, I would call the above absolute garbage and would rather have the familiar deployed as my own unit. d= Having them as allies would be lame, it defeats the purpose lol. Which solves the problem of needing an AI for it in the first place, right? :/That's just event assembler + adding the familiar as a separate unit; right?Not sure how event assembler works, I haven't dabbled in it yet ;_; I know the idea seems really complicated and would def need some asm. So if I can't get it to work properly and logically, then it wouldn't be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book of Ereshkigal Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It's 1-8, one for every tile that forms a box around the shaman/cleric. Can't spawn a dummy unit on a tile that a character currently occupies, though. I dunno, I have 12 summoned soldiers here... .-.

Upside-DownFish Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Kind of off topic, but the top poll says "whose your favorite character" when it should be "who's" or "who is." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missing Number Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 SO! just played, enjoying the story so far Promotions - is Dewey gonna get grow'd up, and if so, gonna give him a 2nd portrait to use ? Riddles - 'cool place' wasn't exactly where i expected, could be made more obvious - 'taller than trees' ^^^ - 'up and over' couldn't find it (got tired of looking) could be made more obvious - i like riddles, i'd like to see more, but we could use a hint or 2 also, the force of all the shining music is really envoking nostalgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Gabriel Knight Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Riddles - 'cool place' wasn't exactly where i expected, could be made more obvious - 'taller than trees' ^^^ The first riddle says it's a cool place you go when it's hot. Under a tree is kinda obvious. Another hint is the fact that the word 'peek' is written as 'peak.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So expect better quality in the music! Pic of the Day (Class Spoiler). - Camps! I'm trying to implement another mechanic in the hack. Camps are basically just destructible fortresses. So enemies will spawn from here, until you destroy the camp. Then no more enemies! I was thinking later, legit fortresses. Where after you destroy it, the fortress turns green and you essentially gain territory and NPC allies spawn in a massive fite. Thoughts?

Chocolate Kitty Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well the fortress taking over thing was implemented in EN, so it's an option I'd say would work. Can't say I get the practicality of a fortress that can be destroyed but is seemingly immobile(I'm guessing since you used the tent for the card and the tent can't move)? Give it some wheels!

Missing Number Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 a tent on wheels lol why not? if mother can have a locomotion device in the form of a walking table, i can't see why a tent can't have wheels dont you dare think of making it a caravan. totally different class why does taking over checkpoints and spawning soldiers make me think of Dynasty Warriors? if u are gonna spawn npcs, can we give them equipment? or they gonna use standard bronze junk? or upgradable into steel, silver?

Alusq Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 why does taking over checkpoints and spawning soldiers make me think of Dynasty Warriors? I didn't think that it was possible that I could possibly like this project any more but here we are... Interact with fortress/mobile-battle-station after converting it = Yes/No option to upgrade, which costs x amount of gold. Use the check/deduct gold event from Farina's recruitment, trigger an event ID, check for it whenever soldiers spawn from the fortress whether to spawn normal or upgraded ones, and BAM, amazing new mid-to-lategame use for Gold that isn't buying weapons.

ghast Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm asking a mod to lock this thread. Progress is coming fine, a bit slower than i'd hoped but fine nonetheless. but to be brutally honest, I'm going through a troubling stint in my life that is basically revolving around money problems are slowly but surely slowing down my whole life, including this. and honestly i feel like i'm pinning ideas to a brick wall here. I don't want to come and post a pic of a concept or something that i've worked on for a decent amount of time and get 1 or 2 pieces of feedback on, if that much. its just deflating. once the thread reopens, i'll have a slew of updates and possibly some videos. and pay attention to the concepts subforum if you haven't, lots of cool ideas never before seen. give those projects some love.

ghast Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hiii First off I wanted to apologize for my little breakdown a couple weeks ago. I am a human after all! Things are turning around slowly at least. And I feel a bit rejuvenated by some lucky breaks. So yeah. Also, with the MHD coming up I figure this should be reopened so I can post some stuff from that here, I guess. Anyway, TIME TO TIP THE SCALES!zing (Contains class spoilersss) big big tents that store enemy units. Better burn em up quick! Chapter 8, Lizardmen! first attempt at legit class card spriting. Mermen have swords toooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Glad you're feeling better bud. Those screens, classes and ideas look legit awesome!
