week5 update


Hello!

This is my first post on itch, so hopefully I can do it well. What I plan to talk about is what I change over the course of my 5th week making the Dream SMP fan game. 

The first and most apparent changes are with Tommyinnit. He has an animation for walking up, down, left, and right. I also touched up his leg coloring, so hopefully the feel like they have depth. Oh, and now Wilbur actually has a sprite in the game now!

The next change I made was with the battle UI. I decided to move it from the bottom of the screen to the left side of the screen. I also made it so it actually shows has an indication to which item is selected. The only problem with this though is the fact I haven't made it so it shows which element is selected first. Lastly, I added a song I made messing around in lmms, which should set the the tone for a battle. 

Now for the changes in the dialogue. It got a major overhaul. I found that the textbox system I had before just didn't work with actually dialogue between two people, which is pretty much all the dialogue in Dream SMP. People just talk over each other way too much for a single textbox to work. So what I figured I'd do is have multiple textboxes, giving one to each person speaking. This allows me to have multiple people speaking at any given time. However it also has the consequence of making the whole dialogue play automatically, which makes it hard to simply read the dialogue.  In the future I hope to fix this problem with pause, rewind, and fastfoward buttons. I also need to fix a few issues with the textboxes that make them look a bit glitched.

Anyways, that's most of what I've done and some of what I plan to do in the future. Thanks for reading.
