Week 10 - 08/03/10 - 14/03/10

Week 10 of this year already.
Time goes fast!
Remember, this week, and next week, wont have much progress in Dirkels.
Because of the upcoming exams...

08/03/10
- Imported the edited tree sprite of Drew

09/03/10
Nothing.

10/03/10
- Made a new catogary, Dirkels Information.
- I also edited some part in some of the background stories.
- Put most of the stories I got on my computer in the Info Catogary.
- Added the new Master XYZ sprite to the game.
- Made a new spell, the Water Wave. The sprite is maybe going to be edited, but the spell works already :)
- two water spells now! :D
- Made the Swamp introduction quest. (so, someone sends you to the Swamp)

Cool! I am making progress!

- Made Jahn Dohnson as NPC, and you can deliver the quest.
- Made first conversation with Jahn, talking about his kid. You can accept the quest now.
- When you accepted the last quest, Jahn starts following you, you walk trough the swamp, and find his kid in a tree.
- Jahn is shocked, stops following you, and slowly walks to the tree.

Thats all for today :)
I dont alot of progress in my oppinion.
This was very important, making a 'start' at the Swamp quests.

11/03/10
- Made another talk with Jahn, when he found his son, he sends you further in the Swamp.
- Tweaked the following engine, not perfect yet.
- Fully designed "The Swamp 1"
- Tweaked the following engine again, now he follows good, but he jumps not smooth. But it isnt really a big deal.
- Changed something in that quest.
- Added the beginning of The Swamp 2.
- Made the room transition of Swamp 1 - 2. (this is a boring job to do, but I done it)
- Tested some random things. It all works now.

12/03/10
- Tested some stuff.

13/02/10
Improved Battle AI
I improved the Swamp Monsters AI again.
In the first improvement, it was impossible to beat the
Swamp Monster without getting hit.
He hitted on the times you couldn't dodge it anymore.
But I removed it, because a enemy who is impossible to beat,
ain't fun.
Then I edited things.
And now he is still improved, and way harder to dodge attacks.
(so, by level 8, you need to have some skills)
Prepare... for the Swamp Monsters...

Tadari Clan Design
Made some concept art of the 4 other Tadari Members
next to Ruden the Warlock.

Hope things are more clear now.
