So, I actually had a rocky start, mainly because some dumb bugs were being, well, dumb. And I wasn\u2019t happy with my pixel art, and also didn\u2019t feel like hand drawing everything. So I settled on an art style that I have been wanting to use for a while now:<\/p>\n

<\/a>\nASCII ART!<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n

Well, kind of\u2026\nI actually use traditional ascii art, but then print screen them, and use them as sprites. This is to help with more control over the layouts, and to prevent any weird font \u2013 computer incompatibility problems that would most likely happen. The maps are actually just tilemaps:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So far, I have movement, and interaction with NPC\u2019s (even though there\u2019s only one for the moment)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And I have a simple \u201cKick-Transition\u201d thingy!\n(Note: even though the gif is slow at the start, it won\u2019t be in game, this is caused by the program I use to make gifs, it tends to lag the game sometimes. Although, the super slow mo kick does look pretty baller.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Well, I guess that\u2019s all for. I\u2019m going to go sleep, and work on the main story, and combat\u2026 and enemies\u2026 and everything else\u2026 yay!<\/p>\n
