#bacon dev

Hello, been a bit. I've been working on getting the dialog system working, here's what i got so far (sorry the video quality is a little rough)

Dialog is place holder (obviously). You couldn't see cuz my cursor isn't visible in the video but the windows are movable by clicking and dragging with the mouse

Still need to work on some extra functions and stuff but i think its coming along super well so far!

It's a webcore inspired rpg adventure game made in RPGMaker XP.

Current name for the project is "Viral Deleter"

We've been working on it sorta on and off for at least a year now i think, but now im focusing more actively on it so i thought it would be a good idea to start making public devlogs.

Viral Deleter Devlog #1

For this first post I'll talk a bit about the player character and the first area of the game.

*name used not final and my change during development.

You play as this guy

Viral Deleter Number 3

They work for the Admins of *Network City, dealing with Bugs and Viruses and the like.

This is the first area of the game, *Network City!

It acts as a hub connecting the other areas of the game.

And thats everything i wanted to show off for right now!

Sorry if this isn't much, I haven't done a devlog like this before so I'm not sure exactly how much I should post.

But now that I've started hopefully future posts will be easier!

See you in one or two weeks with another update!

threw together some enemies

Curse-R, a bug type enemy that inflicts status effects on the party (two on the left and right)

and Haxxer, a driver type enemy that uses powerful elemental attacks. (one in the middle)

Also did some other technical stuff like work on statuses, put together some skills, and work on some events! And i worked on some graphics, npcs, environments, stuff, some item icons.

Officially started work on Viral Deleter in Godot.

Didn't do much today, mainly re-familiarizing myself with the software.

worked on some maps for another area

underground area of the city

It's something I've been thinking about doing for a while now but some issues I've been having implementing certain ideas have pushed me to seriously consider it.

There's also a lot of assets I wanna redo and this is a good excuse to do that.

i did kinda get the character maker working, i might use the assets for something else later

here's one of the spite sets

they also had randomized colors instead of making one version of each body part in each palette i had something set up to change the sprites colors in game

can't quite remember how it worked, i just followed a tutorial i do remember it used the pixel's RGB value as coordinates on a texture and replaced that pixel's color with whatever color was at those coordinates

so the actually sprites looked pretty funky

this one is the actual size of the file i used in the game so it's pretty tiny and might be hard to see

here are a couple of the palette textures which are very small, only 8 by 8 pixels
