holy scope creep

can any jrpg fans tell me what kind of items typically drop from regular enemies (from your own game or favorite games you've played) and what role do those items play (equipment, crafting, upgrading, selling, etc.)

yellow = subject to change

i do plan on making honkai-styled cgs and hiring oomf to animate specific scenes, but largely it'll be rpg format. they each have their merits so i won't go ham on cgs if in-game cutscenes are perfectly serviceable

i like to think hex is deceptively strong bc she's used to chopping firewood

I CANT EVEN REMEMBER THE LAST BOOK I READ IM SORRY...

don't ever take my game ratings seriously btw u'd have to pull some crazy cocomelon shit to get my brain to light up like christmas

hahaha what if hex wants to find her Purpose not bc she feels listless but bc her dream is to become an angel after witnessing anima's return when she was 10

still a wip but i'm gonna update my demon classification so that they're more conceptually distinct by targeting the body, mind, or soul. fun fact arachne's aspect used to be corruption

it's so funny how game design has been the only thing on my mind since i started this game gauntlet. at least i'm almost done with fursona 3

i might give my ocs an ult/limit break after all for the sake of aura farming. but i dont want to dedicate a whole gauge for it so they'll prolly just be expensive to use lol

collecting my friends' goon lists

bru its been almost a year since i last drew levi?? i have to rectify this

i dont have a good narrative reason for this yet but i want to design an orchestra-themed void (dungeon) for eternal return where, during one segment, ur party gets split into 4 pairs. once you clear each pair's part their assigned instruments get added to the barebones bgm (like flute for yangyu)

rly good question. empyr would stay gray and lifeless, and neither game stories would exist

narrative's favorite in more ways than one

can i say playing pers0na 3 on merciless after many years of not playing a proper jrpg has been a funny experience

@zaraku.bsky.social *looks at larp*

i have no oc braincells rn but i want to design a kaleidoscope angel

suddenly thinking about hexmei yuri #gasleakinmyhouse

its so funny how the game gauntlet has given me 0% writing motivation but 300% game dev motivation. i want to make my game so fucking baddd

sry i forgot to answer this but i also dont have a good answer bc i haven't yet figured out the nether arc besides the ending LOL. but given by how competitive and stratified nether is, i think there'd be so much book theft by this point that it turns into a political hotbed(?)

sry for general silence i've been really busy and tired and sick 😿

idc enough to make multiple denominations but these are what dracoins look like. for those of you who know about the eeny meeny miny moe scene i'm replacing it with a coin flip lmfao

havent been in a drawing mood bleh

sev keeps spoiling me

well i technically still have fatigue system but it's where MP can go into negatives and the more negative it gets the more dmg you take. this is the point when u should switch to a backup unit as being in the backup party restores some hp/mp each turn. this would only happen in longer battles tho

i actually think i did some research into the game mechanics back when i was considering a fatigue system for my game (i got rid of it tho), unfortunately i don't like roguelikes or permadeath enough to play 😭😭 but ty for the recommendation!!

NEW KUROK*TEI SONG IN 47 HOURS I'M GONNA SPLOOGE

idk why im so excited abt game dev all of the sudden i just think it's rly cool to have a big cast of characters that can all do crazy themed magic that isn't just elemental magic
