Intro

I’ve always wanted to make a JRPG style video game, this is my attempt at making one. It’s about nine months of sustained effort and was a great learning experience. The engine is MelonJS and the game engine is mostly from scratch with a decent list of features:

• Cut Scene event scripting and custom creation tool for building scenes
• Sophisticated pipe puzzle combat game with lots of mechanics
  • Recursive algorithm that can detect many conditions
    • If all exit pipes are connected
    • If there’s open holes in the piping
    • If water is hitting enemies
    • How much water pressure  is available
  • Varied enemy types with different strategies
  • Boss type
• Dialogue with icon types indicating whether the text contines, is at the end and custom types for locked doors and other conditions
• Inventory with outfits, weapons and event objects that affect the characters appearance and abilities in combat
• Uses Tiled for map creation, NPC and puzzle placement, dialogue and event markers, custom events
