Mega Man X3 - Zero Project creator
Now working on: Tales of Phantasia (SNES)
Four months since my last post... Oof.

I haven't really made much progress on new content but I went back and refactored some ancient code and fixed several different bugs in battle.

Refactoring some of my old code helped tremendously with speed issues in battles that I created accidentally. (1/2)

YEEAHH!! Breath of Fire series are some of my absolute favorite RPGs! I'm so, so excited to see this series get even a little bit of love and recognition it deserves!
Breath of Fire fans, it's a Dreamlist come true! After campaigning for over a decade, and recent teases from GOG, the PC version of Breath of Fire IV has been FINALLY re-released and made available for digital purchase on GOG (Good Old Games)! bit.ly/FansBoF4

Something is wrong with this area... What's going on?

Got another mini event added from the PS1+ versions of the game! If you fail eight times, Klarth and Mint will dislike you just a tiiiiiny bit :)

Script is from the Phantasian Production PS1 fan translation with approval from Cless, the head of that project!

Still working on this steadily! I'm going through making sure all the events still work after doing a complete dump of them.

Buuuuuut it doesn't hurt to add more PS1 content into the SNES one while doing so! 😃

Did something completely unnecessary, but you know what, why not.

If, for SOME REASON, you grind until level 6 in the Sewers and Mint learns Antidote, the scene after will slightly variate. Honestly, it doesn't change by much. Meh 🤷

Major updates behind the scenes but not something noticeable to players.

All event code of the game is now in a "readable format", term used very lightly.

With that, I've been moving all the updated events back into their original data, which saves a lot of ROM space.

Been making different kinds of progress on Tales of Phantasia (SNES).

I've been exporting the game's events and dumping them, disgustingly, so I can modify them and have full control over the entire game's events without having hackney code that I do now.

Played through the beginning of the game up to the start of the Future arc.

Found a couple major game breaking bugs that are now fixed. One of them has plagued the project for years now and I wasn't able to figure it out until recently!

Fixed a horde of little annoying bugs as well.

I lied again, kinda. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about my projects or just want to chat!

I'm not the greatest at keeping a conversation going but I'll try to respond when I'm able to!

Actually I lied, I forgot to include.

Rhea Scarlet is now a playable guess character! She was legitimately meant to be playable, much like Brambard who HAD images, but got scrapped.

Aaaand we'll top it off with the Rheabirds (Techbirds) being completely dynamic now. Before, it was limited to only the 5 main cast.

It now supports all NINE characters in this version!

The "Tactics" menu has been 100% revamped in every way now. It's not the best, but this allows MUCH more control of what the AI characters do.

Although, the AI is still such a WIP. Shit is tough man.

Chester now has artes like later versions of him! He will have a few unique artes in this version too.

"Shuuga" or "Striking Fang" is one of them. This'll be his first arte learned. Basically a high damage energy arrow.

One of Brambard's unique spells. If anyone's played Tales of the Abyss, they'll know this spell instantly from Natalia.

Aqua Protection. This will grant 15% defense boost for the entire battle time. (Barrier from Mint will increase by 25% for 30 seconds)

Ice Needle has been redone to be more akin to Narikiri Dungeon 3/TOP PS1.

The higher level the user, the more needles that come out. The damage with each needle gets less but it deals, still, high damage even at high levels.

Arche now has Cyclone from later ports of Tales of Phantasia!

Arche now also has Black Hole that isn't an instant death spell. The SNES version originally did that, made it deal "Dark" damage now.

Also, hilarious, "Dark" element did not exist in the SNES. Shadow was actually considered a light elemental spirit. 🙃

Arche now has "Big Bang" in Tales of Phantasia (SNES). It's basically a super mini modification of "Extinction".

Another gag post more-so inside joke with a friend and I.

A joke video from 2020 back when I was playing Among Us a lot with people.

Back in 2019 I was working on Paper Mario for N64 creating mini things for my friend and I. I believe this project got taken over by others a long with my menu updates I had.

I was creating partner health and such in this game to mimic TTYD.

Another oldie but one I was super proud of. When I was using Game Maker Studio before I went into Godot, I was recreating some bits from Breath of Fire 2 but trying to modernize a bit.

Kid Bow/Bosch portrait was custom made by me.

Way, way back when I was first starting Godot, I was playing around with using Super Mario Brothers 2 assets. Very jank and abandoned, but I do want to get back into Godot in the future. Super fun stuff.

Mega Man X1 - Dash & Air Dash. X starts with a dash and now gains air dash like he does in Mega Man X2.

Unfortunately, this video doesn't showcase the air dash and I'm too lazy to record a new one.
