Tastynauts, the train is evolving for a better experience. Last poll was about the resolution of the game. A majority (only 41 votes) was for a bigger resolution 640x360 for the next adventure.
I believe it's an evolution in the good direction. We'll see where it goes in term of graphics, that's the main issue for me. 320x200 allows to blur the ugly and leave a doubt about my drawing skills. But when building the new game system, I realized how much better was the quality of play with the newly found space.
There was a story idea in a bowling but I don't see myself making something good at that resolution for now. I'll keep it simple to test and find my graphic marks at 640x360.
Here are a preview of what it looks like! It's a work in progress prototype, nothing means anything.
You already know the basic tools. It will work for mobile phone but that's not how it should be played! The cursor tells you the action possible. When you interact with something, the character's reaction doesn't block the player from doing something else. The sentence shows who's talking (the player's character)
Look at that dialogue system!! I will so regret it later!!You can ask up to four questions, and from each question, four new ones can be asked and it can go forever. Then, you want to go back to a previous batch of questions? YOU CAN! (unless it's blocked because you did something) BUT WAIT, DID YOU SEE IT? The character you interact with has a REACTING AVATAR! It says the name of the talking character too, just in case.
I hear you in the back, how's the new inventory? It's big, 29 items! And it works with the dialogue system if needed! The items can have a big description too.
I kept the best for last... It's a feature I want to use in the next adventure, the ability to switch between two characters. One is normal sized, the other is a tiny. They're both on a mission together. (Two inventories : 58 items!)
The reason why I show you that is because I have to build the game system for the 640x360 resolution then I will be able to make the game. It's a work in progress. More information next month. Code name for the new adventure: Mission Stinky Shoes.
Next Wednesday's update will be for Paige's Footman. And don't forget Miss ZBZ 2026 starting the 20/01/2026!
