...Now on to business.
With all of the maps except for the dungeon maps finished (for the first world, at the very least) I have now moved on to other things before getting the events set up and the game actually STARTED. Namely, I have been tinkering in the database getting all of the characters, skills, and items in order. Whilst doing this I have had to take a few liberties, at least temporarily:
- I added one final character to bring the team number up to a nice even twenty characters, and to smooth out the flow of new teammates coming and going. Everybody meet the magical automaton, Shade!
- I named all of the yet unnamed characters. Most of them were mine. The ones that aren't--currently going by Richelle and Gaspard (belonging to Neon Firefly)--are subject to change if she so desires.
- I had to completely redo Harper's sprites (belonging to General Ritsuka) due to issues with sizing, file type, and color quality. I tried to recreate him as accurately as possible, including all customization. Hopefully it is satisfactory.
- I have been finalizing everyone's weapons and skills. There may be a few minor changes here and there (for the sake of balance), but I did my best to make sure that the characters accurately reflected the desires of the creators.
- Five of the characters are now "secret" characters, meaning that you have to fulfill certain requirements in-game to unlock them! I did this to add a little more variation to the game.
Anyway, that's all for now. I'm going to keep working on this. I am having a few problems with the skills, but hopefully that will all be sorted out at the end.
