SkullDive Dev Diary #9 - Magic points consumption and new functions. news

Hello everyone!

Hard times here, I'm working a lot to get fixed the joystick and rotation system of SkullDive, and now it's taking the shape that I wanted!!

Today I will talk about the Core of the Skill System, AnimaPlasma(MP).

But first:

• New event based control system.
• New dialogue controller schemes(Exit conversation, fast forward, accept, response selector...)
• Added a new core function for the Skill System : AnimaPlasma.
• Added a lot of new sounds to the interface.
• Added a new animation and fixed speed while walking backwards.
• Added AnimaPlasma spheres into the game.
• Updated lighting system.
• Added new puzzles to solve.
• Added new conversations and quests.

Atleast every RPG has MP, well SkullDive is not an exception, AnimaPlasma is something like it with an exception, you will find this "MP" extended all over SkullWorld.
AnimaPlasma is the source of SkullWorld's magic, every dungeon core is filled with it.
Leo will need AnimaPlasma for giving Annie the power to do a lot of amazing magic tricks.

AnimaPlasma is required to do every magic trick that Annie knows, using a spell requires a certain amount of AnimaPlasma, this means that if you want to , for example: Light the way you will need periodically a very small amount of it, but if you want to Slow the time you will use a very huge amount of it, so watch out, this resource is very difficult to gather.

I've updated the way that you move Leo, now he will respond faster and the camera will smoothly damp when the rotation stops.
Also I've added a new animation for Leo, when he walks back now he will play a Walk Back animation.

The Alpha version is really near and I'm very excited about it!
Thanks for all again!

This is all for today, as always, thanks for reading and I hope to see you soon!
