2000 errors updating to the new engine version… legacy code causing issues with being able to pivot based on iteration… and a wild idea to have the players take their turns at the same time to encourage communication.

As the players move about the grid of an encounter their light source will uncover the tiles hidden in the shadows. Treasures and enemies can be hiding in the shadows; if they are in a player’s light radius, they won’t be added to the turn order array.

Last semester we were the underdogs challenging the taboo of making a fighting game and we came out victorious and arguably a fan favorite among our cohort. If last semester was Rocky 1 or Karate Kid 1 were no one expected us to win, but we worked hard and we succeeded anyways– this semester was the sequel. The expectations for our success rose tremendously, we got maybe a little over confident over winter break. When we hit our first major road block of figuring out our new art direction the team’s morale dropped off the earth, communication went out the window, and there were days to me at least were it felt like we were living the sequel that didn’t need to happen. But eventually we came around, we rose up from the ashes of the first half of the semester, and we started to live the sequel that everyone always wants– the sequel that is better than the original. 

We did it! We finished Lucha Megadrive and everything is all set up for the show!
