These events don't have to strictly be controlled by switches.
They can be scripted, or even set so that individual tiles can be destroyed/attacked in such a way that renders the bridge useless.
There are already abilities to create/destroy 'props' which are objects that are on top of tiles. This method can be applied to create/destroy tiles themselves via abilities.
Of course the latter would be more difficult to bug test, so it's more of a long term goal.
Going forward I'll try to post more updates here.
-
Today we are showing a mechanic for destroying/creating map tiles.
This would be used for things like bridges, or ice & most likely be operated via switches.
The gif shows a bridge being destroyed while another bridge is created. Pathfinding updates in real time so the AI will react to it.
I've always loved bridges in SRPGs, especially when they're dynamic & can be used tactically.
The 'Warp' movement type has been given a proper animation.
Warp, or Teleport, moves the user to whichever tile they choose instantaneously. It abides by move range, but has no vertical limitations.
It took me longer than it should have to make this effect (<3 Effekseer), but I think it works.
Has a nice whoosh sound that definitely wont get annoying after warping several times in a row...
Added a quality of life feature: Optimize Equipment!
It automatically equips the unit with the best equipment in your inventory.
This takes into account the unit's Job, passive boosts, and can be used to optimize into 4 different categories: Physical Attack, Physical Defense, Magick Attack, Magick Defense.
I sort of ran out of weapons for this gif, but it's in real-time so it's a very fast method to equip your units!
