Gift of Hedone Subclass Idle animation & Sprite building
Added 2023-09-25 23:00:02 +0000 UTCHello sexy deviants,
So the one thing I need to start considering is how I am going to scale, there are 100's possibly 1000s of different variations of sprites I will need to make for this game, so I need to start considering where I can make my life easier, but also help ultimately speed up development.
So when I say "sprite building" in my heading, what I think im going to do is standardise on body animations for Warriors, Sorcerors, and Rogues - and what then changes is the head (to clearly identify characters) - and the colour of the body, and body outfits.
For alternatives outfits for say "The Maid" outfit, each subclass with have a unique style of maid outfit.
I hope this all makes sense, and you can understand where I am coming from - but if you have reservations or concerns, let me know :)

2023-09-26 00:37:59 +0000 UTCWell it being your first game it might be best to just go with color changing vs costume change. You could always release the game beta or alpha bare bones just to prove concept and build from there

2023-09-26 00:35:37 +0000 UTCUnfortunately for this game it will just be the 3 mentioned, but who knows if the project goes well and I can do a Gift of Hedone 2 - I'd like to add more subclasses π

2023-09-25 23:36:59 +0000 UTCI was suggest having 3 different idol animations For each of the class. So if you have a party of 3 Of the same class they're not all in sync with the same idol animation. This cookie cutter ideas definitely going to make your life easier.
