Hey there, Pangaeans!
I know I've been gone a while, but I've been keeping busy. Let's talk about the game first. As I said before, I haven't abandoned it and that's still the case. During my hiatus, I've been keeping track of any and all resources I could use and found an ocean's worth of great music, graphics, and plugins I plan to use. I'm also experimenting with a couple ideas too, such as having the game reflect real-time day and night in the game. Of course, that's just in the written ideas side of my head. I'm still focused on just doing battle mechanics for now. Thanks to Yanfly (Click on his name to go to his webpage) and their inclusion of the Dragonbones System (and by extension TheGreenKel for creating it), the monsters will be able to move how I want them. It won't be perfect and makes things look stretchy, but I'll iron those out later. For now, I just want it to work at all. Just FYI, DragonBones is the name of the skeletal framework in battlers. It's a pretty complex system, so I'll only use it for the monsters I have available in the Demo before I extend it to the rest of the bestiary. The idea is that the DragonBones system will only be used for monsters and Sideview Battlers will be used for humans. While I'm working on that, I need to sift through my other tools and get them cleaned up. I need to prep for other updates and fixes, after all. So what else has been going on? Still seeing my therapist. He's reopening old woulds I hoped never to touch, but it has to be done. I also managed to clear 90% of my debt from focusing on my job and Lyft, so I'm back in school and saving money. I'm taking a programming class finally. It'll cover what I already know from self-teaching, but I'm hoping to advance in this so I can get a good job somewhere. I have to do MORE car repairs, but thankfully I think my insurance can cover this one. Oh, it's nothing major, just windshield replacement. Still, just a sign how much work my car needs. So, yeah, I've been busy, but I'm also back in action. I managed to get some of my motivation back, so I'm running with it before something happens to make me lose it again. Weekly updates will be back as well. Thanks to everyone who stuck in there with me. Your support means so much.
