I'm putting Shark and Mermaid girls in my game because nobody can stop me. Fox Girls too. And Werewolf girls. And more.

Two shields. It's great, just ask the Dark Souls players.

Peak dialogue. I'm sure I won't look back on this writing in ten years and cringe. Having fun is my goal, this isn't Shakespeare and I have no illusions about it being Shakespeare.

Avoid reduces your chance to be critically hit. No, wait, that's "Dodge", and it's "Avoid" that reduces your chance to be hit. Having negative avoid makes your foe even more likely to hit you. My game removed random dodges and crits so I plan on removing them from the HUD too.

This is Fire Emblem: Rising Thrust, a FE fangame I am working on.

Yes, I got mad when in FE Conquest's Fuga's Wild Ride the enemies I defeated over bottomless pits weren't instantly destroyed.

I've thought about turning off battle animations and I've thought about reworking them to use large still images like Fire Emblem Heroes and Darkest Dungeon. Recently I decided to resize the screen again to use the 3DS's top screen size. But some things are still misaligned.

On a square grid you can be surrounded by 4 foes who each get one hit on you with 1 range weapons. On a hex grid, 6 foes can get you. But on a square grid with diagonal movement and attacking, 8 foes can surround and attack one foe in one turn. This makes juggernauting worse and 1-range melee units better, just like improving Attack Stance so it gets friends and foes within 2 tiles of the attacker and target. Really it's a bit silly that a swordsman adjacent to an archer can Dual Strike someone 2 tiles away from the archer and 3 tiles away from the swordsman but a swordsman right behind a foe couldn't help Dual Strike that foe unless he was adjacent to someone with a 2-range weapon attacking that foe in vanilla FE. My game has Attack Stance, so if we assume the first attacker's dual strike partner is positioned so he is in range to assist when attacking, without needing to move, so he can move in and attack next, eight attacks in one turn with 1-range melee weapons can turn into 16 attacks with 1-range melee weapons in one turn. The more places you can be attacked from with melee, the better melee gets. To balance this out, ranged weapons deny counterattacks even when the foe is seemingly in range to counter. Bows, Magic, even thrown melee weapons (which suck hard on purpose for balancing purposes and cannot double or crit), they all deny counterattacks unless your foe's weapon matches or surpasses their range.

Pair Up attack is a feature in Lex Talionis Maker, I'm using that Python engine.

Hahaha, more like FFXXX.

Thanks, I worked hard on that thumbnail! It was a bit of a hassle to get all that text visible in the thumbnail.

Ha ha ha, perfectly balanced as all things should be!

Yes.

This map feels open and empty because it's a big empty square for debugging purposes. The real maps will feel better. Even if I need to set the battles on small islands and surround them with water tiles to fit the screen's boundaries. Or set them inside caves and dungeons and castles and fill the sides of the screen with wall tiles.

yes

I'll draw them later. Probably.

Why ask why when you can ask why not?

2+ range weapons get fixed later.

I wanted crits and misses disabled. I set crit multiplier to 1x and crit hit and crit avoid to 0. Hit is 110 and Avoid is 10. I should probably set crit avoid to 1.

TH-cam likes recommending my videos more the worse they are at explaining what's going on. I'm making a Fire Emblem fangame called Fire Emblem: Rising Thrust.

It's Lex Talionis, not an animation.

@@JasonGodwin69 Ah Lex Talionis is the animation software you use? Nice. Personally I use Paint

Hahaha, no! It's not an animation, it's a real game.

Thanks! There was a bug where highlighting a unit's movement range near the edge of a map caused crashes because the game was trying to highlight tiles that didn't exist, but I fixed that.

Glad you think so!

It's not an animation, it's a Python-based game. I'm using the Lex Talionis engine.

Witchcraft!

Well in chess diagonals is still one as it uses metrics space, the best way to see is to test both in a full play through to FEEL which is best

It's not a visual thing. You can squeeze through diagonal spaces between enemies and around some corners. If a unit has 5 move, the unit can move 5 tiles in any direction. North, West, Northwest... Any direction.

@@JasonGodwin69 As cool as this mod is, this is also exactly why diagonal movement just doesn't work in a full tactics game environment. Looking forward to seeing this being developed, though!

On a square grid, your unit with 8 move can look at an adjacent foe north of him, move left, move up, move up, move right, move down, move down, move left, and he's back where he started after running a circle around the foe. Diagonal movement lets you do this with just 4 moves. It makes dancing around your foes too easy. However, I've already considered this. Zone Of Control is a new gimmick I'm adding to my game after Diagonal Movement and Diagonal Attacking at 1 Range are perfected. Zone Of Control will stop a unit from running past an enemy unless that enemy is dead or Broken. You cannot enter and exit the same Zone Of Control on the same turn unless that unit is dead or you have Canto/Canter/etc. I also plan on adding Gravestones, which will fill the space dead units occupy to block the path, and disappear at the end of a turn, ensuring the old "Suffering from success" problem where you obliterate many enemies you would rather wound nonlethally so you block the flow of enemies won't happen. Intentionally equipping worse weapons to become better at defense is just plain silly. "Won't this make long 1-tile chokepoints miserable to deal with?" It would if my game had any. Putting those in castle maps is bad game design.

"150mm is too big for a tank"? The American 152mm M81 Gun/Launcher says otherwise.

It's a Pokemon fangame I'm still working on. It's going to be called "Jason Godwyn's Pokemon".

Ah. It looks cool.

bait?

It's absurd. The moderator's justification for demanding the character's breast reduction was that "It's fetishistic". She's a drawing with big tiddies! There are people out there with fetishes for feet and hands, too, want me to cut off all the hands and feet of all the characters I ever make? There are people out there with fetishes for death and violence and "le unredditorific self oofing uwu" (Christ I hate censorship, being forced to mince words is an insult to everyone who suffered from real harm just to satisfy control freaks who enjoy pretending to care the most about harm) so should death and violence and the ability to hurt youself making stupid choices be removed from all of gaming?
