They havent been shown as off yet. So id assume not yet.. though in my defence, I did say when the battle mechanies were in place in my orignial post.

It's been a long time but in case you missed it, I posted a new video:

just awesome!

Good job! Didn't miss it, but that's only because Kyle mentioned it in the cbox last week... (If he hadn't, I wouldn't have seen it until now, most likely(?))  But anyway, keep it going...

Sounds like someone should be subscribing! 

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

Oh... It turns out I haven't subscribed yet...... *done* Hm... I don't always check my youtube for updates... so I've no idea how well it will keep me up to date or not if I'm not checking much...

[Rolina]

@Field jumping & pushing = By the way, have those been done yet? (I'm thinking most likely, but I just want to be sure.)

Either way, I think Rolina was referring to what's most reasonable for Battle Mechanics...

EDIT POST 666.... Number of the Beast!!

Muslim's holy number  ; Bible's evil number.. -- Which do you pick, holy or evil?  (<== Supposed to be rhetorical.)

Aye, I was.  Battle mechanics is what I know, you know?

Still, looks like at this point he's working on what could arguably be the more important part of the game to focus on, since you spend more time in the overworld than in battles.  Good idea, I think - once we've got working navigation, maps, tiling, puzzles, etc then we can move on to battle stuff.  I look forward to trying out the demo when it's out.

Great work, Mr. Opengoldensun!
I think I watched your videos at least 10 times each, :) !

I agree. The heart of Golden Sun is in the exploration/puzzles and the dialogue, both of which occur in the overworld. The combat, on the other hand, while needed to complete the project, is not particularly nuanced, I think, or especially different from other JRPGs, aside perhaps from Djinni.

Little shout-out to the forums in this one:

Emoticons or Emoji? Either way, nice work!!!

[Rolina]

Emotes.  Emoji are a brand name iirc, so they refer to something very specific.

Lol!

@What I was thinking:
Emoji is used for telling stories without using textual characters (And is usually hard to understand(?)) (At least on The Late Late Show with James Corden,) - A bunch of these are  actually Unicode characters themselves, but I don't think they display correctly everywhere. (May appear correctly in textbox, but blank when submitted.)  ;
Emotes are usually used for emotions/feelings.... but we end up using them for general purposes.. (PCs/objects/etc) ....so that's why I asked.


But in another way... I'm not sure if this is like comparing "cartoon" to "anime".... (Which I think? Is based on location?)
Maybe I could choose a less controversial term and call them "icons"....?

[Rolina]

I figure it's more of a "band-aid" vs "bandage".  Technically, a bandaid is a brand of bandage.  However, Band-Aid makes you think specifically about those adhesive bandages you put on cuts while bandage makes you think of those wrap-around bandages for larger wounds.  So while technically both are bandages, and band-aids even have those wrappable kinds, the brand vs the item itself makes you think two different things.

When I think "emoji", I think of that god-awful stuff that's popular now thanks to that one company and phones and stuff.  When I think emotes, I think of the simpler types you see on forums and in games.

...Actually...

Dark Dawn uses Emoji
The GBA games use Emotes

That's a good way to put it, IMO.  They have a different feel to them, you know?

Isaac: "Hey! I take offense to that."

You take all the fence you like.

Edit: Just so this post isn't spam: that's pretty cool. Also lol @ Jenna's head as an emote. And also reddit and youtube and twitter emotes.

[OpenGoldenSun]

I've been working on getting some of the puzzle mechanics working properly.

[Luna_blade]

Ahh... I didn't even see the update until now. Again, great work.

[Luna_blade]

Bunp.

Is this thing still a thing?

[Rolina]

It is.  Follow him on youtube - he's got several more vids than that.
