Finished designing the skill “Embrace Everything”
Updating “Xeno Wraith” and adding more stuff
Currently designing a new skill as well
Picture above is a glimpse of cut content in the game that I originally wanted to be in the game.
I added more to a past skill
Im currently working on this skill
So I’m going to try and explain it because I don’t want to show it
Basically what’s going on is, Agro pops up and uses his ultimate then the Agro in the box image disappears. His ultimate is a god like creature that has a skeleton for a head and bandages around it’s body and has a baby and it’s arms are out like it’s holy. Theres a heart in the middle and sword like crosses appear in the sky and form while the heart bleeds and then the enemy gets attacked.
Removed something from blood rose because it gave an error and I believe it’s fix
I wrote some dialogue for a cutscene in the future
Debuffed “Gather The Fishes”
Adjusted “Telly Rabbit” animation
Updated “Telly Rabbit” tileset by making the lightning effects thicker because they looked like lines before and it bothered me when it looked like lines
Cleaned up/Updated “Blinded by the Moon” Tileset because the grey colour went beyond the inked lines
Finished balancing the current skills
Fixed “embraced everything” skill because it wasn’t showing up
Fixed word box on “Heartless heal” because it cut off from word box
Debuffed “I love you “ and dropped it to 500 hp from 2000 hp
Made animation for Kabu’s state
Made animation for Birdation’s state
Adjusted some enemies stats
Testing a battle
Moved yellow follower a bit to the left
Did other stuff of course
I feel like the fight is good the way it is now
Going to work on a new cutscene and combine all the dialogue scripts I’ve made for this scene into one concise script and add new stuff at the same time. I dunno, I’ll just do what I have to do.
Currently working on cutscene
I feel like I should put what I did yesterday. Hopefully, I will only do this once. I may have babbled on about stuff.
My windows laptop had a black screen with only the cursor being visible. I connected a lot of cords to it and a fan cooler to it. It looked like it was on life support. I had to let it die because it would show/do nothing when I tried to enter recovery and restarting tricks didn’t work. When it finally died I gave it a quick 5 min rest before I put in the power supply and restarted it, hoping for me to at least see the logo. The logo did show up and I got into the recovery mode and restored it to an earlier date. This labtop has really gone to hell and back with me and I like how the computer still works even though I’ve had to restored back to factory settings in the past.
This particular black screen session happened because of some windows update. I downloaded the witcher games because they were on sale. I launched the witcher 3 and saw that same update that messed with the computer try to install and canceled it.
I haven’t played any witcher games before so I thought I’d try it out because people say good things about it. I’m playing the first game and the dialog system that they built is really intricate. Like so many things can be asked to certain npc’s judging by what you find or who you talked to about stuff. There was even something that happened at the beginning of the game where you had to make a choice and a bit after in the game when you get into a fight on a bride, it gets brought up that this could have been a different situation on the bridge because of the choice that you made in the beginning. The last rpg game that I bought was final fantasy 15 for pc when it was released and that game was a shit show. I’m truly amazed at the witcher 1 game and I could only expect it to get better with the newer games.
Put holy songs on some mp3 for the mother
Updated and removed the left shoulder crystal from
C1 SC2, C1 SC4, C1 SC6
C2 SC2, C2 SC4
C4 SC3, C4 SC5, C4 SC7, C4 SC13
C5 SC7, C5 SC8 HAP, NORM, OPEN, C5 SC9, C5 SC10
C8 SC3, C8 SC10
Cleaned project files of cutscenes by getting rid of things that don’t need to be in it any longer like ref folders. I used to scan my drawings from paper then use it as a ref for drawing in photoshop or bring in a bg asset so I can use the colour of something that I was referencing like a vehicle. For example, the scan refs alone in one file caused it to be a bit over 500 mb for some reason. When I took out the ref it went to 20 mb. I feel that taking out the refs would be a good thing because in future when I try to put it into public domain, it’ll just be easier for someone to download. Some refs will be left in.
Some of my first files are hard to navigate. It’s disgusting. It’s atrocious.
Adjusted script more for the current cutscene that I’m working on, the small adjustments add up
Implemented cutscene into game
Proof checking cutscene word boxes for any grammatical errors.
Cleaned/fixed C27 SC74, C27 SC80 , C27 SC81 , and C27 SC129 then reimported them into game
Added “SC107” again as “SC107 1” because of a bug???
Adjusted C27 SC23 blood and made it cleaner
Redid Agro from the first cutscene when he’s falling down
Redid and replaced Agro on the title screen and moved things a little
Adjusted game over screen by replacing agro with the newer version
Moved splash screen a bit, to be more entered
Working on new tileset, I’m going to remove the pathways a bit for this one.
Building level
Updated iconset
Made items
Updated dialogue for Autumn in Hanotown.
Fixed spelling error for appreciate on lvl 16
Updated a person in Level 8 and just added a small story dialogue talking about food. I made it in like 2secs so it’s very random. I sure someone will laugh at it. It’s a personal story but I did get carried away talking about it now.
Adjusted words in LVL 6 for some objects that you can talk to.
Adjusting LVL 9, 10, 14 for the objects that you can talk to and removing some. It becomes apparent that at this level you don’t need to anymore or at least I think so. I’m basically removing the option to talk to rocks. It becomes inefficient when I make big levels and the events to make the option to even talk to them can/may slow the game down a little. With the added fact that I make each them a little special with different words of thought during that time of writing them, I moved them onto the structure that I used in future levels and random plants.
Adjusted script for one guy in hanotown to emphasize more.
Updated script for this small adjustment.
Working on cutscene, mental energy, tired, original.
Working on implementing cutscene into game
Just thinking about animating the scenes is exhausting lol
Reimported C27 SC161
Changed/added some lines to C27 script and implemented it into game
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t think ill get much done today ;-/
I’m don’t feel that productive
Some random guy online gave me some choose your own adventure vampire game and it’s quite fun. I just started it.
I guess I’m just slacking today but I’ll try to do a lot in a short amount of time.
Goodnight. 🌙

Updated Pink hat by adding two more inked lines
Moved spotty horse to the left
Made spotty horse a head armor
Adjusted stats for an item and increased price for it in 2nd shop

Currently making a battle back
Updated enemy stats for current battle and made it a bit different
Made sounds for the enemies attacks
Updated MTLBWY sound and removed Furtrons placeholder sound
Implemented some songs
Lowered the “OK” sound in system cause I thought it was too loud
Lowered most of the sounds for the animations in the the game because I felt they were overall too loud.
Removed sound for Pluto from he game and made a new version
Changed some more sounds
Lowered some menu sounds.
Play testing the level, it’s feels kind of easy so might make it more harder.
Adjusted all characters in games stats again by lowering certain stats even more or certain stats even higher so it’s more clear of everyones strengths and weaknesses.
Lowered an items stats by 1, I believe I was pink hat
Adjusted forest creatures stats in past level
Increased drop rate of items for items on the creatures in the forest lvl
Lowered exp gained from forest creatures
Lowered gold gained from forest creatures
Lowered steps for random encounter in past forest lvl
Made the smallest rocks on lvl 9 and 10 to be able to walk onto of.
Lowered items that you get from enemies from a level to the ones below except for Goron
Lowered boss item drop because I felt the best item drop may be too op to get twice.
Play tested forest lvl, seems good now
Play tested lvl 19, seems good now and it just does seem pretty lenient no matter how much I tried to make it a bit harder but whateverrr
Made 3 new icons, one for cool downs, two for enemy drops, I have not made the enemies yet but I have some kind of an idea for them.
Adjusted agro passive to power up if hp is low, Agro becomes OP is low so I had to adjust the enemies to better fight him because he does kind of break the game a little when fighting normal enemies but it’s still ok. I want it to be a little easy because I really did make a unique story and this game is about the story but then again it’s more about the characters.
I thought the artifacting in the music was my fault but its because of it being exported to ogg files. Makes it sound like listening to vinyl.
I’m thinking of making enemies in a level that I didn’t put enemies in. I’m going to do it since I can’t stop thinking about it.
Completed battleback
Made new enemies in game

Need to playtest the battles
Fixed description for two weapon having wrong stats
Fixed grammatical error in one of the first levels, good thing I clicked it. Changed some text boxes.
Made some changes in text for some items

Working on creating the bg for the current level but I didn’t do much today. ;-]
Finished inking all the character busts and will colour them now.
I’m not sure how long I’ve been up for. I think I woke up around 9 pm yesterday. I’m trying to fix my sleeping schedule. I’m posting now because I may fall asleep and forget to post later. I’m thinking of going to sleep at around 10 pm. Nothing good to watch. I’m extremely bored.
Implementing cutscene into game
I really want to make NL2. It seems like it would be fun with it being a different openworld-like game.
It sucks that I don't have any friends that I can actively talk about anime and game dev/projects with. :-/ I tried talking to one of my closest friends and showing him a movie today and he didn't even want to watch it. None of my close friends do much but work that sweet 9-5 or go to school and then play video games. ;-////////////////////
