You ever turn an eldritch abomination into a puppy dog?

...Huh. This is starting to look like a game.
Today's focus is going towards making the backend systems work together with a user interface, so all of this won't have to be manual. From there, it's just a matter of adding monster moves and turns, and I've got a playable combat sim!

It wouldn't be a monster-capture game without some monsters, and every good Witch needs a Familiar or two!
Most of these doodles have been just about getting ideas to paper regardless of detail or unified theme. Once the overall design is a bit more locked in, I'll start posting more detailed shots.

Been mostly getting the backend for combat resources up and running, so that everything is fairly future-proofed. This meant a lot of iteration on code as I learned new ways to restructure it all. Turns out, Custom Resources (or ScriptableObjects) are your friend when making a database of stuff.

To start things off right, here's a look at my current project prototype!
I started on a monster-capture game about a week back, as my first proper foray into coding by hand. I've always enjoyed Pokemon games, so I figured that'd be the best place to start!
