Starting to prototype combat, decided to make it turn based, was debating between menu-based or full on tactical movement. I figure combat serves the survival and inventory management, so decided to go with quicker menu-based. Happy new year! #picotron #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Getting serious NEO Scavanger vibes from this, is it part of the inspiration? Looks fire so far 🔥
Chief, among many others! UI is dead giveaway lol. Reading Daniel Fedor's blog posts on Neo, I find the design thought process fascinating. The game itself is deliberately opaque about mechanics, so reading about the playtesting and revisions that went into that balance is quite illuminating.
Will have to look up those posts, never seeked them out before, might be a good resource for the future
