The New Game is Already Coming Along Fast

I just thought you all might want to see the progress on the new game. This is only the first 48 hours of programming it, and even planning it out, but I have a ton already done. In this video, you will notice the enemy doesn't work yet until the player's ship gets within a one block range. That is because I have not been able to program the blocks outside of that range yet. But once done, it will know what to do from 4 block out from the player's ship, and anything outside of that range, it will guide itself to get into that range. It's a massive programming challenge to pull this off using only the events and variables, but fully possible and will run smooth and without glitches. Again, none of this is using plugins at all. In this demo, I am using a level 2 sails, so I only get 2 moves each turn. You will be able to upgrade your sails to get up to 4 moves each turn. Later in the game, you will also be able to get spread cannons, that will only hit with a third of the damage, but also include the two block next to the normal cannon target to get hit. And as this demo ends, all boarding ships in battle will set off a JRPG battle for the ship. If the enemy boards you and you win, you just don't lose. But if you board them and win, you take their ship and it's out of the battle. Afterwards, you get the bounty in all ships not sank. I still don't have a good name for this game yet, so if anyone has any suggestions, I can't promise I will use it, but please leave them in the discussion for this announcement. I was thinking Pirate's Bounty, but I feel that's too generic for this game. The on land missions that use JRPG are going to have storylines, so maybe I will wait until those are more clear to name this project.

Community31 Aug 2026I apologize for not having Dragon Leaf yetIt's getting done, but my PC for some reason is having issues now saving anything to Dimensional Gates. I already was having issues before with it not able to save unless I only added a few things. But now it won't allow me to do anything and save it without crashing and losing everything. This has to be my PC and not the engine, but I am not sure how to get around it. I can make the episodes o…Community14 Aug 2026Dragon Leaf is Coming Along NicelyThe show inside of Dimensional Gates, Dragon Leaf, is getting a second season, and it's coming along nicely. But with Water's Bounty in development as well, I am super excited to work on that as well. That game is a huge amount of programming just to get the system up and running, and that's what I love to do. Figuring out how to program AI and supply and demand economy systems is what I thrive…Esports5 Aug 2026The New Game Finally has a NameI know, it's only been 5 days, but we have a name now for Water's Bounty, and a theme song as well. I mostly did pixel art yesterday and a bit this morning, but the ship's deck is mostly done. I still have to add some filler item on the quarter deck, and add an anchor as well, but other than that, this should be the deck for a two mast ship. (There will be a auto run RPG Maker movie that plays…
