Old World Revamp

So, old world is switching engine and getting a total revamp when it comes to a lot of gameplay and all graphics.
The old version didn't turn out the way i wanted it, and depending on how much you enjoyed it, i'm sorry.
However, the new engine is going to keep the core gameplay BUT i'll be revamping the combat system and numbers.

Here's a screenshot of work in progress.


The overworld map. You'll be travelling from town to town here.


The menu system. You press ESC to access it. Cannot be accessed in combat, so put everything you need on the hotbar.


The main logo. This will appear on the log-in screen with the magic circle spinning behind the text.
Forgive the white background lol

Can't wait

Okay bruh. I'll continue to check in now and again.

Nice to get some updates, Ill be waiting. Hope its as good as the previous version or even better!

Working on the keyboard-controlled inventory, giving it more of a retro RPG feel. You can now USE/DROP items by selecting them with Z. Working on assigning to hotbar and going back/cancel with X now.



Working on code most of the time right now, but i made some overworld town sprites

Is that the map or is travelling going to be like FF I?

Yeah, travelling will be like any of the classic FF games, overworld style.
You'll be able to boat over oceans and lakes and airship over mountains and submarine into deep water.

Progress on the menu. fixed spells now

You should make the menu a translucent blue so you can still somewhat see what's going on in game. In many situations losing all sight of the game could be detrimental.

Using the menu will be an out-of-combat thing. All important menu interactions will be assignable to the hotbar so you won't have to go in to the menu while in combat or in a dungeon. You won't even be able to open the menu in combat.

Is it going to be turn based?

Nope. Live action combat, like i had in the old system.
There will be random battles that teleport you to a different map on the overworld though. when you clear the battle or run away, you are teleported back.

Some town tiles are done

Lookin good man

The wait is killing me

Like the Runes system from league of legends, you can apply one offensive gem, defensive and utility gem to your character. This will be your main source of stat gain. You can get gems from stores, treasure chests, loot, bosses.

Some gems will unlock hidden abilities and powers, kind of like materia in the FF series.

Fast question since i didn't play it when it was online and i'm waiting for the revamp. Will there be any flying ships like in FF? I wanna make the Red Wings like Cecil's army
