Timespinner Development Livestream!

Yeah i was surprised. You got all those fancy applications like photo shop idraw and then all sudden I saw windows paint

Did you notice that in the last minutes of the stream you destroyed the floating platform with your charged green sword, is that intended? seemed like a bug to me

also reshaper has a "move to an other file" refactorting for moving classes to their own files

btw if framework limitations wont allow you to use enum's as dictionary keys, (wich is wierd since the base type of a enum is a int)
then why not implement your own dictionary that does suopport enums, but stores it as int's internally

Code: Select all

      private static EnumDictionary<Orbs, int> damagePerOrb = new EnumDictionary<Orbs, int>();
      
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         damagePerOrb.Add(Orbs.Red, 10);

         damagePerOrb.ContainsKey(Orbs.Red);
      }
      
      public class EnumDictionary<Tenum, Tvalue> : Dictionary<int, Tvalue> where Tenum : struct, IConvertible
      {
         public void Add(Tenum enumValue, Tvalue value)
         {
            Add((int)(object)enumValue, value);
         }

         public bool ContainsKey(Tenum enumValue)
         {
            return ContainsKey((int)(object)enumValue);
         }
      }

I saw so many orb colors in that steam, makes me exiting

Can you paint with all of the colors of the orbs~~~~

If there's an orb that allows me to paint, sure!

I'm reminded of Goldeneye's paintball mode cheat for some reason.

Maaan, that's too bad. I only had Gamecube, SNES, and PSX stuff in there. It's odd that the mute got triggered (((

i saw the stream today (was on holiday so i am late i know )

i would like to suggest to make the rotation direction of the eye orb depending on what direction lunias is facing when you throw it

because right now if you throw it to the left its rotates clockwase and it looks cool when it comes back to lunais (like a spinning wheel on the floor)

but when you throw it to the right the still spins clockwise and that kinda gives the mental idea it would move away from you but then it comes back

i think this be a small change by changing the rotatino to a -value, so i dont think it will delay you to much

and btw i am a bit concerned about the royal orb, its a melee orb that hits enemy's anywhere on the screen (even targeting then), to me it seems like its a bit to strong, but i am sure you will balance it

an other thing i am a bit concerned about is the difficulty, ofcoursre you put a lot of time on the caste enemy's but you know that soldier is realy slow and you just over him

Good suggestion on the rotation based on direction! I totally missed that, haha.

Yeah, the Royal Orb will definitely need some balancing, as it's super powerful right now. Order of Ecclesia kept a pretty good cap on how effective spamming certain spells were by having melee abilities use MP. So, for the tracking lightning, you could blow up 1 strong enemy, but then you'd have to cool down for a little bit. I'm hoping that's not something that we go with, but it's always an option.

Haha, I'm glad you noticed the soldiers are a little easy right now. My approach right now is to "Finish everything to 75%". So the enemies are in the game, have most of their animations, and do their primary attacks, but aren't polished to 100% yet. This guy will likely be much faster and challenging
