🎮 Young game developer: working on the cute greek mythology underworld jrpg, @HegemonePass.

Emilie has been redesigned. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

@play_pso2 #ARKShour According to PSE Outfit Bonus, this is Scare-Wear, therefore "spooky"... Oh, maybe she's a ghost from the past?

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

Long-time no see! Here's a status update on Hegemone Pass. #gamedev https://t.co/7spgfjzpP4

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

I think I had a Eureka moment in regards to the game's mechanics. I'll need to implement it, but I'm very excited and hope it's as good as I'm expecting it to be!

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

The approach to Stealth and story progression in the newer version of the game are going to be different.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

Instead of making stealth a easy-mode/hard-mode kind of thing, I'd like to make stealth something more akin to a narrative in the gameplay of field and battle.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

Previously, I stated that I was axing stealth… I don't want to promise anything too early, but I'm going back to experiment on it: but it will be executed differently.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

This new version of stealth will accompany the altered battle system/removal of titles.

Sorry for the very slow news on the game's rework. A lot of time-consuming IRL work. Mostly doing planning in spare time, but mid july, I should have some free time to implement the rest of the changes.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

(And it's also a way to save dev time and reuse more of a level by maybe from time to time issuing a backtrack where enemies/objects/other things are changed around)

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

Before anything else, my current objective is to work on the new objective system, in addition to finishing up battle system changes.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

Instead of a simple "reach the finish" before story continues, I want the gameplay to tell a story during the level through different objectives.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

There are other functions currently in works for NPCs: shopkeeper NPCs (personal inventory per NPC), quest giver, being attacked NPC...

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

Some NPCs can be recruited temporarily in a mission. #gamedev #indiedev #JRPG

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

Some recruitable NPCs will need to be bribed with money, however.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

One major difference is that Emilie is now being turned into a magic user, and now uses a staff. The staff needs more finetuning however.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

One of the big changes other than battles that I have to do is greatly revamp how NPCs work, and how Mission Objectives work.

[Ingénoire @ingenoire]

While on the subject, unlike Ethan and Yvonne, Emilie's new design is a bigger departure from her current design. There are a few more tweaks before showcasing her changes.
