Just another day in my life!

So as you can see I’ve added another feature. Now if you right click an NPC in game the player will move towards it and talk to them. I’ve had the dialog system done for a while now (although not perfect) it was just a case of implementing it. There’s still a bit to do in regards to NPCs, like shops and quests but I need to get player stats and the inventory out of the way first before I touch on that. Also little heads up, Benji has been messing about in Maya lately so hopefully soon we’ll have some models instead of cubes!

Finally I have this pathfinding thing down, check out the video for a working example. There are still a few problems with the player bumping into the wall occasionally but I’ll have that sorted in  no time.
Progress is being made… Time to continue with the Character selection then merge it with the pathfinder!

Ok, so I’ve started working on character selection and it’s going relatively well. I’ve implemented a selection box like the image above but 3D. You can also; left click to select a character; left click again to select all characters. With one character selected, you have the option to attack, use a skill or use an item. With all characters selected you can group attack.

I’m currently in the process of adding a skill bar for when a single character is selected. At some point I’m going to have to map out a GUI layout for displaying stuff like characters and their health etc. It’s all a little bit long winded but it’s getting there slowly!

This is an example of my Dialog System I’ve been working on.
It is still a work in progress but it’s getting there.
It also has an Editor to make the process and viewing a litle more pleasurable!

Yet another example with no use.
Thought I’d try and recreate something like Mario Galaxy.
I got bored before adding the ability to jump between “Planets”.
