Obscured Objects

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Needs some VFX, but at least how I built my system lets me turn any rigid body into something you can push around like this. Just need to set up another system to encourage you to move stuff around...

Level Switching

Super important feature since I can't put the whole game in one scene without gigabrain code turning things off and on as needed. It also lets me teleport the player within a scene which is nice

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.

Stun

I need to implement health in the overworld to complete this feature. I am also considering a hurt sprite but I'm lazy...

Mockup

I really like this but I have plans for a tiny overhaul as I'm writing this. Turns out soft shadows are better rendered by engine...

the overworld hud looks kinda like this but better since I cannot program something first for the life of me before making art. Although since it looks nice in the future I have high hopes for when I eventually put it in the game.

I'm developing a game called Vividerie.

Here's a tiny video about it :3

Good ol screen shake, shake amount is relative to the relationship between damage and current hp. It will shake more the closer DMG is to Current HP, and even more, if DMG is greater than it.

More WIP UI stuff

I really cannot go a day without tweaking these mockups. Maybe one day they will be features that actually work in the game lol

Selective Interaction

Very simple, yet super useful, feature, now you can directly choose what to interact with when surrounded by multiple options. Don't ask what happens if you have more than 26 things nearby...
