Welcome back to another week of updates. This will be a small, but good update as I’ve made some effective progress.
For the past week I’ve been focusing on completing the end game titles for the daughter. I’ve already completed all the dialogue and visual fxs related to the unlocking, now all I needed to do was complete the back-end and redo the data displayed in the Records Menu.
Making changes to the title menu was the part I was the most worried about. I had originally designed it to only display the illustrations, but after working on the game for so long, I realized I needed it to also display the requirements for unlocking each title. But, I didn’t want to change the design because I really liked the way it looks now.
After much thought, I decided to just take the direct approach and added the requirements over the bottom half of the illustrations. I was worried it would cover too much of the illustration but it actually looks fine. Here is a quick video showing the changes I’ve made to the Titles section in the Records Menu. The highlighted text represent the requirements that have been unlocked so far.
I also decided to add the ability to change the default illustration from this menu. The option becomes available once you’ve unlocked the title.
With this part of the game (mostly) out of the way, I can move on to the Tournament Arc. This part of the game will have two sections, the city tournament and the world tournament. The city tournament will happen every year with the exception of the first year and post game. The world tournament will happen every year starting from age 16.
I’ve already begun documenting the fights, once that’s complete, I will create the menu that will be used for both the city and world tournament. Finally, I will put the fights together and script all the events so that it functions in game.
I’m hoping I can complete all this within the next week. If I can accomplish that, then I can shift all my focus into finalizing the game for a proper game testing session. The completion of this session will propel this project into 80% completion.đŸ˜„
Okay, that’s all I have for this week. I’ll continue to work hard! Stay well everyone!
