Sorry, I'm in Little Shop and we're performing this Friday. I've got it stuck on my mind.

Laughing yourself to death just sort of slipped in there.

Oh, okay then.


In other news, the program Kurai recommended is being really helpful. I've started writing each chunk of plot in seperate nodes using it, which is actually helping overcome the writers block a little.

Oooh. Idea!

This one came to me while working on the design for the battle system. Essentially, the design will allow for the following to work, but I'm interested in what you think.

Essentially, when certain techniques are used, a sequence of characters appear on screen for a few seconds. The more into the sequence you get within that time, the more damage you do.

It's too "typing of the dead" -- it sounds fun for a mini-game (and maybe for a few special spells) -- but having everything do that is like having the summon powerup thing in FF8. It's just an excuse to make spells long and drawn out. And since you don't have several hundred thousand dollars to blow on skill animation...

however, having random bits of text that characters spout out on attacking/getting hit is way cool, esp. if it's not overdone.

Yeah, so...I'll save it for a few spells. Not many, just a few.


Also, I'll have to consider the random dialogue thing. It sounds like something I'd want to do...Perhaps have them included as easter eggs.
