Version 0.0.029: Health Meter and Buttons


More button updates!

Health Meter

Above the Action Point Meter is a Health Meter. Had a lot of fun styling this. The bar will pulse faster when you are low on health.

Health Meter

Nahla is at full health, 3 out of 3 Hit Points

Health Meter (Low)

Slither Demon is at 1 out of 3 Hit Points.

Confirm/Cancel are next to the target

These buttons used to be near the bottom of the screen, but I moved them to near the target. The OK and Cancel buttons also react to you hovering and clicking them.

Hover over the OK Button

Hovering over the OK button produces a red border.
Hover over the cancel button
The cancel button gets a red border when you hover over it.

Button Update

I rewrote buttons from the ground up. Many will react to hovering over and clicking them. The start menu and load/save buttons are updated.

When previewing movement or actions, other actions will tint yellow. If you commit to the movement or attack you won't be able to use the action. I'll point this is out closely when I update the tutorial.

Button styling

Hovering over Water Cannon, disabled Healing Touch, and Torrent Surge is ready to be clicked.

Loading Bug Fix

Race Conditions suck and you can start the game before it finishes loading resources. So I added more checks to not start the game until the resources are ready. Hard to test, but it's more stable now.

What's next?

More button updates, the cutscene updates are the last of the old kind. There's also a different button style I want to create.

A temporary patch to explain Hustle & Elusive.

Some visual fixes at the end of turn and when loading save files.

I'm trying to clear the field to change how moving works.
