May-bel week 4: Your Pick! 🌟

Of course, I HAD to do Drifting Stars for the free week---and I am SO proud of how this turned out!! I had no idea I could render this well, and now I'm super excited to try it some more!

This is the last May-bel prompt, hosted by @hkthatgffan. Thanks for motivating me to make this cool piece!

October 8th: Take any fairy tale re-imagine it as a science fiction… (Thank you to my friend, Aleks, for this suggestion!)

The Princess and the Pea... Or rather The Princess and the Nut. No matter how flexible or squishy your body may be sleeping on a metal nut even in antigravity will probably still be uncomfortable.

Told one of my engineering classes about the giant jigsaw puzzle we'd be receiving soon. Asked them to go ahead and think of some ideas for how we could assemble a puzzle on the ceiling (the only open space large enough for the task).

Once student suggested we invent an antigravity generator that would allow us to float to the ceiling while we worked.

Another student suggested we use a ladder.

There are two kinds of people, and I guess both of them are in my class.

HERES THIS ONE SIDED ANTI-GRAVITY(Gethsis x Colress) ON GETHSIS END THAT I MADE A MONTH AGO-

ALTHOUGH THIS FEELS SO OUT OF CHARACTER FOR GETHSIS, I THINK ITS FUNNY BECAUSE COLRESS GETS TO SUFFER. OH AND HERE'S COLRESS EXPLODE BECAUSE WHY NOT???? I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THAT"S HIS EXECUTION LOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOL 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

(// I think that was @//Squidkola's idea lmaooo)

Working on the next part of Antigravity in bits and pieces. Right now I'm trying to increase interactivity beyond the main battle loop cuz tbh it's a bit boring.

Thinking of locking the chapter's end boss behind a gate of 7 to 10 A-ranks, which you can obtain by finishing battle with no damage taken. A-ranks are persistent variables, which means the game will remember how many you've earned regardless of whether you save.

However, as it stands, it's incredibly difficult to get an A-rank through battle alone because even weak enemies hit for 10 HP, and damage output depends on probability besides that.

Because Maria is accompanying Shadow in this chapter, she gives you damage negation moves like Chaos Shield (receive 0 damage on the next turn) or Meteor Shower (falling stars confuse enemies for three turns - probably helpful for farming Chaos Drives).

Grinding gets very tedious very quickly, so I decided to implement alternate ways of obtaining A-ranks: via puzzles, pop quiz answers, and perhaps a Chao Clicker minigame.

Chao Clicker will probably function a lot like Cookie Clicker: click the Chao, number go up.

Ideally, I'd like for there to be an assist function where you can tag Maria in if your hand starts to cramp. But we'll see how long it takes before testing the loop drives me insane lol.

It'd also be cute to include Maria and Shadow's Rumble stickers.

Yeah a skill gate is a good idea but trying to figure out how to stave off players getting bored from forced repetition can be a challenge. Maybe you could also tie A ranks to optional combat challenges, like using a certain move or combo of moves a number of times, so that way players can still accumulate A ranks without needing to do like ten no damage battles in a row. Or something like that, in addition to the mini games earning a few. Theoretically Players should be able to get all the flags they need to progress either by doing ten flawless victories and nothing else, or without doing a single flawless victory at all.
