the real joke is in generations: "Hey sonic, enjoy your future. It's going to be great!"

lol took a break from angry stress inducing thing. decided to write something else for a little while.

i played a game called survival kids a while back. thought it was pretty neat, thought about making a fangame of it for the ticalc. with potterquest2 YET AGAIN fucking exploding on me, i've decided to save that project for a later date, when I'm completly sure of how to use CelticIII and how the memory on the calculator works, so i dont start something big and have it explode on me. Survival Kids is a neat little game by konami for the game boy color. if you haven't played it, i'd say find a rom and try it out. its pretty neat. anyway, feel free to use the engine if you want to, modify it however you need it to be modified, just be sure to give credit (lol.)

edit: double date - new

my calc is a piece of shit. every time I group stuff and ungroup it keeps giving me "error memory" and when I link to TI connect half the time it doesnt even detect the calculator, and when it does, it says all the files are invalid. what gives?

incase you are a bad lrn2bookmark pages ps heres that link



now go fave it nub.

so like, making progress, reworking the inventory system, that should be up and running soon again, and been working out the stat growth formula. things will grow kind of like in runescape (but moar fun imo). for those of you unfamiliar, runescapes development system builds your character around how you play, but with a grind factor. what im going for is sort of like this example:

Hitpoints
take 21 damage, and you have 30 max health.
max HP = max hp + 21/5MaxHP

so in this case, you gain a percentage towards your new maximum. to prevent "growth cheating" (ie, have a character with like, 10 health get hit for 9000 or so) is to make hitpoints value require that you SURVIVE the attack to get the experience growth.

doing damage (phys or spell) will increase strength or intelligence.

taking damage increases hitpoints, as well as defense and resillience (spell defense) based on a formula.

using special attacks increases maximum tech points, and using special "skills" (lol not spells) increases maximum "skill" points.

this will mean that the characters will form more so around what you play them like, which is awesome because players will eventually develop a dedicated healer.

as for the party system, you have all five characters in your team (if you get them all assembled together of course) and only three are allowed on the front line. you can switch them around mid fight, and healers can heal and buff those on the back line (not on screen) if desired. some special enemy attacks can hit the back row. if the front row is destroyed than the back row will switch to the front. (kind of like pokemanz though, you dont have to bring out all of them, you can choose to throw them out one at a time for meatshield action.)

its... complicated. oh and yeah, poison and renew will still be in play even when the unit is on the back field, so you can pull in someone, dispell the negatives off, throw renew on them and send them to the back for street fighter healing action.


the idea is, youll have to use all five guys (everyones got different skills) and youll have to be sneaky about it sometimes for particular scenarios.


its... gonna be way the hell better in planning this time around. glad I kept my notes, i see what caused it to wtfdie the first time, how i create files and create moar files on the same space and like, clusterfuck the xlib so hard that it wanted to freak out on me?

by the way, iambian, celtic III is freaking awesome. i reccomend it to ANYONE who is good with basic, this app. is a little tough to pick up (print off a copy of the documentation, trust me its worth it) but great when you start getting results.

celtic III is awesome. very neat little thing, and i printed out the documentation for myself. i kept my notes on the first run of PQ-FOM and found that i was abusing xLIB which lead to it crashing. my fault, stupid errors. gonna pick it up and try it again, with some changes [in gameplay too.]

attached - screen grab of the new potter sprite set, unfinished.

yarg, stupid printer printed TWO copies of the Celtic III readme file, so now i have an extra one on print for my own use (ill keep it here at the house, the other goes with me.)

gawed, gotta work work work work work


Oh hai2u anyone who has any ideas for the project feel free to throw them here, if I use the idea you'll get cookies and a credits thingy thing. anyway btw im growing plants IRL and theyre freaking huge! miracle grow is like plant sterorids holy shiester.
