I think you’re probably right. It was one of my favourite games this year, it’s just so charming!

Have you played Witch Spring R? I really liked it's handling of turn order and speed. Getting extra turns feels so good.

That sounds like a good way to do it! I was just struggling with that kind turn order stuff this morning and ended up using a gauge system because it was the only way I could think to make it dynamically update if speed changes in combat.

Looks pretty cool! 4v4 invites a lot of strategy.

BEANS

Oh yeah definitely. I'd want to go into a game jam with a skeleton of a system like this already in place. In fact...that might be my motivation here. Were you doing local multiplayer or going into the nonsense that is online?

My preference forever seems to be:
- Desktop = Windows
- Handheld = Linux
- Laptop = MacOS

Sorry, the hardest part SO FAR! I'm sure worse things are ahead hahahahahah

The hardest part has been getting the speed -> turn order thing working. I wanted a system where if you have 10 speed and the enemy has 5, you get 2 turns for their 1. That's easy-ish, but when you have 10 speed and they have 7 it gets a bit tougher.

Installing windows fresh on a OnexPlayer device is a very bad time. Otherwise love this thing. Looks like I’m sticking to Bazzite.

Sure is. Careful or you’ll get me explaining the whole scheme.

My implementation has a big if statement for each corner 😓 but smarter people than I have used bitmasking to do this. Performance is more than fine with my way so I'm happy to leave it.

There are a lot of guides online, I wrote this years ago www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/... which is a little high level (no code). Each tile is 4 tiles and the child corners get their mesh swapped/rotated based on neighbours.

Uhh wow that's pretty cool! And the cassette player mode??? 🤯

lol at the ferrite-less cores!! Wow.
