Daily Zoughts - Oct 29 2023 (Sun)

Somehow a bunch of team members in the Burn It Down team (wait no it got renamed to Revolution WildFlower) got sick over the weekend and couldn't make much progress.

Tonight I actually got to spend some time on the RPG game. The main inspirations of the game will be Omori and Epic Battle Fantasy 5, and I'm sort of combining the parts that I enjoyed from both games. I'm still setting up the gameplay mechanics, but since I've done a RPG in the past I can copy over some code from there. That code was from 2 years ago and ugh it's so poorly written.

As for the party members, I've decided on these 3 (listed by their speed; so the Knight attacks first):

Knight: lots of damage to one enemy

Angel: healer and defender

Wizard: damage multiple enemies

There originally was going to be a Ranger as well, but I decided against it, as 3 is plenty, and also Ranger and Wizard just sounded like the same thing.

In this game, characters can also be either airborne or grounded. The Wizard and Knight start grounded, but the Angel will always be airborne. Some attacks may only be able to damage grounded characters, meaning that any airborne character is safe. The Knight will probably be strictly ground attacks, so they won't help against airborne enemies. And then some enemy attacks may only target airborne characters, which would be really bad for your Angel.

I think each character will also get to summon helpers. The helpers can fulfil different roles. They can be a damage sponge, apply status effects, and really just anything I can come up with.
