Thread: Pokebattle (WIP - work in progress)

THIS WAS A ROUGH DRAFT - PLS NO BULLY




Yo,

Edit: This started out as a small game that i wasn't going to finish but i've decided to actually turn it into a project. I'll kick myself forever if i don't see it through.
Big thanks to everyone with their input and ideas on this one. I wouldn't have bothered if people didn't see potential. Might move this to the project section.

It's VERY rough around the edges but i will explain it the jist of it.

Features:

• Every pet is given base stats of Physical attack/ Magical attack / Ability
• Abilities are entirely unique to each pet
• During battle, your pets base stats are rolled against the enemies stats. The higher the number on the roll determines if an attack is a hit or miss
• Each attack is turn based and works on a time limit - Taking too long will force skip your turn
• First to kill their opponent wins

To do list (old but i'll just update it slightly. Can't be bothered to reformat thread):

There are plenty of things missing as well as a huge list of unfound bugs i can imagine will arise .

Instead of damaging the players hp, it will damage the enemy pets hp. - Completed
Attacks will make npcs perform emotes and fire projectiles. - Completed
Not every ability has been added as theres a huge list of pets. - Not Completed
I haven't found an area that will look appealing as a battle arena. - Completed
The interfaces for this feature are still a huge work in progress. - Completed (I settled with dialogues).
Each pets attacks can be upgraded but i haven't balanced it properly yet.- Haven't Started


This thread has recieved updates, so i'm putting the newer media above the old.

Spoiler for Random updates:

Updates & progress in no particular order with no schedule

Spoiler for update 1.:

Decided to post a few updates incase anyone was interested in following my progress.

A desert theme has been decided for the battle arena.
With a kind offer from Chanston, an arena might be built for this minigame and we decided to settle for here:

Spoiler for update 2.:

I appreciate minor details, so i made a smooth transition into the battle arena before it begins.
(sorry, gyazo .gif's butcher the fps but it is smooth i swear)

Spoiler for Update 3.:

Thanks to Andrew ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) for thowing a pokeball idea.

Spoiler for update 4.:

Added in some audio just for "muh immersion"

Spoiler for Update 5:

Huge thanks to chanston for the custom map.

Background updates:

*Damage is done to pets instead of players
*Working on pet movement during battle but this is super early
*Created custom pathing for npc's for decorative features such as a cleaner keeping our arena spic & span etc. (Could be useful for quests/cutscenes in the future i suppose).
*Lots of bug fixes. Like... a lot.

Spoiler for Update 6:

I have moved the Pokemon arena from the desert into a minigames area where you can access all the games i have made.


You can challenge players to a pokebattle now similiar to how you challenge people at Duel Arena



While a pet is following you, it can attack enemies that are within 1 square distance from you. Pets will stop attacking the moment the player is no longer attacking. (Pets will not attack if the player is eating/stunned etc). Pets engaging in regular combat outside of the minigame cannot be hit by other npcs.
