Update thyme.

Day ~ 2
  • Jam started at 2 PM here. Worked right away. Had an idea for the mon-catching feature. Basically just copying the enemy database/entries and pasting it to the hero database. 
  • Added some... new "fields" (Wolf Editor terms) (stat growths, equip slots, skills learned, etc.) for the enemy entries.  Basically turning the enemy database into a 2nd hero database.
  • Made the common event to actually copy-paste enemy entry to hero entry, and add the fresh entry to the party. Nailed it. :B


I love LICEcap. Itch's upload limit is only 3mb tho.... so some gifs were too big to post... and got to record again. Don't mind the enemy graphics, please.


Day ~ 4

I mean, today's the fourth day, right?

  • Procrastinated on evening day 2. And early day 3. Thought about actually not using the leveling system. Just focus on catching mons like climbing the food chain.
  • Made the common event for kicking party member mons. The engine has a limit of 6 party members, and changing that means changing a lot of things, which would take me days (engine documentation and common event notes are my only go-to). No thank you. Set the event for after battle, called when the party reached max 6 members.
  • Had an idea for a "party capacity". Simply, a party of 2 giants is equal to a party of 5 critters. Tried to implement it, but I hit a rock early today. When a big mon (takes 3 "slots") enter and the party capacity gets exceeded, others will have to be kicked. Potentially kicking that or other 3-slot mon, 3 1-slot mons, 2 slot mons, and other combinations. This... unfortunately... is beyond what I can do right now. Would take me days, if I even have the motivation all the way through. So no.

In short, the core feature has been finished. Still the bare minimum, but it works.

Next I'll have to make actual content and assets. ...and a story. I brought this upon myself.  Those are all default engine assets, not mine.


Thanks for stopping by! :D
