You refer to the battle system as "crappy" :D and from that screen shot I agree. But hopfully the better one some time in the future dosen't tell you how much damage you inflicted. But that's just my opinion.
The line which shows how much damahge you done, was necessary to show ME how much damamge was done to check my formula's, the screenshot was just to show the layout for the battle scene.
Personally, for a first release I think this battle system is fine, this demo is to mainly grab people's attention and show them what I have so far, the battle system is a way of breakign everything up, who wants a pokemon game where you only walk around?
I think that your opinion was still waayyy to strong, and shouldve been toned down alot as no matter how bad this system is, a lot of scripting time has still gone into it.
Thats cool, is the battle system fully working? I mean is there animations and are all the options(Fight- Bag-Pokemon-Run) working?
I'm still working on the battle system, I'm trying to make a better system before release, but if I can't then the one shown will be used, if that is the case then there will only be the 'Fight' option, as it's only to show the main systems so far.
Here is the tree. Hope you like it! (BTW, I am doing a lot more G/S/C tile revamps, so if you need more, drop me a line)
Thanks for that I'll put it in once I start re-doing the maps.
Ok, I'll get you the trees when I get home (I am at the library right now).
Anyway, the battle system is fine for now. No need to criticize yourself for something that is early in development. But one question: Will the HP bars work?
Yes the HP bars work, they dont have the smooth feel to them of a pokemon game just yet, but I am still working on them, at least so far they can show the different colours and also give the player a good feel of how much hp is left.
As I have said above, I am currently workign on a new battle system one that will hopefully stick through til the final release, I am also tryign to redo the menu system and make it more flexible and easier to use and do more with.
I have exams all next week, so I'm not sure how this will affect progress as most of my exams are only an hour to two hours long, So i might be able to do a small amount of work each day.
Expect some more updates soon.
