 everything is separated out.

after I finish this title screen and the battling system Im integrating them and then I am done.

Title: Updates
Post by: kalan_vod on April 26, 2006, 04:19:00 am

Yeah, that is how I did it with MGP. About how many side quests (mini games) are going to be included?

Title: Updates
Post by: elfprince13 on April 26, 2006, 04:29:00 am

3 currently (I think I will actually make another), plus all the battling.


basically you have to keep your frog well fed and growing and gain as many points as possible and fight other amphibians.

the stats you have are as follows:

hunger--this has a negative impact on your strength in battle
points--your score
level--this has a positice impact on your strength in battle
exp--regulates when you "level up"
health--if you run out of this you lose.

Title: Updates
Post by: kalan_vod on April 26, 2006, 04:32:00 am

So, the games you made (dodge and others) that's four. Are those mini games?

 yes, but they effect  your normal stats. for example catching flies decreases your hunger....

Title: Updates
Post by: kalan_vod on April 26, 2006, 04:40:00 am

Well I was confused, as you said you have 3 currently, but you had four mini type games?

Title: Updates
Post by: elfprince13 on April 26, 2006, 04:53:00 am

here's what I have:
  -cross the road
  -get flies
  -dodge birds
  -lily pad hopping [WIP]
  -Battling [WIP]
  -Stats menu
  -the map
  -title screen [WIP]

I knew you used CC, but yeah VTI is outdated...it was great before though. Have you tried PTI?

Title: Updates
Post by: elfprince13 on April 26, 2006, 09:43:00 am

PTI has more accurate emulation than TilEm, but I prefer TilEm because it is more fully featured and will also work on things other than windows.

 HA! That's where you are wrong >.>, Timendus has a working "hub" for linking of 4 calcs which also can be any z80 model (atm it's just 73, 83/84 line, and soon more will be added) XD

sticking every together is the fun part ;), I hope to see more on the battling.

Title: Updates
Post by: elfprince13 on April 26, 2006, 03:52:00 pm

I started working on the save game file which is closely linked with battling.


a final note: the goal of the game will be to acquire as many points as possible. If you keep your frog alive for 9 years you win. Points are acquired based on things like how long your frog lives and how you do in the mini games. If you starve to death or get killed in battle you lose.

A high score table will be kept.

Post by: kalan_vod on April 29, 2006, 10:14:00 am

Very unique, but I didn't see it the same way as you have on the SS. The square that selects wasn't alligned correctly, not that it's a big deal. But the menu sliding was very cool.

to which side? was anything else squashed or misaligned?

Title: Updates

It was when the menu comes from the left side during the battles. I will try again later and take a SS if it happens.

Maybe. I have done an incredible amount of optimizing myself, and I kinda like it how it is. Shows what I can do. Of course, I will probably have him optimize it anyway for the final release after I get all the bugs out.
