  • Working on the dictionary part is a little tough. I have to get things together in Construct 2 to make it search for a word, then compare that word to make sure it works. It's a little bit tough as either I have to add ALL the words to the dictionary file, or find something else to work.

  • Made the title screens better:

  • Today should be the first workings of the dictionary. I'm so excited to get it up and running - making it work and score words will be top priority.

  • Working on the title screen...

  • Another GIF, this time showing off moving the big block darkening to individual blocks - makes it look more appealing when damage will be dealt, etc.

  • Well the game utilizes the attack button to check the dictionary (when added) and also to set off the event chain that stops the word entry. Also, if it was automatic, it would eat all small words before you made a big one for huge damage!

  • Actually they will be hidden under a sweeping "flipping" effect, as if the letters are being torn off to replace new ones.

  • Here's another GIF, I've been messing with the temp graphics while working on finding an artist (which may have just happened!)

  • Another workday, another screenshot. This time, showing off I finally FINALLY finished the columns (transplanted to another column) and the inactive board intermittent darkening. Will be replaced with a neat train station flipping effect while they reload.

  • Thanks! You haven't seen anything yet! There's lots more to come when the basic mechanics are in play. Spells, Skills, Levels, story... it'll all fall like dominoes!

    Another day, another GIF. Almost done with the columns and letter replacement. Such a huge task is almost out of the way!
