Fugsnarf's Guild

I just keep updating, don't I? I'm trying to come up with different and similar names for the posts. Mind as well just name them all the same thing.

Today I have a huge milestone to announce. Enemy AI and combat against them is completed!

The first enemy that I created is one of those spinning digger enemies. You can see what they look like in the screenshots below. Their AI is basically completely random right now. They aren't offensive, they are more like punching bags that can sometimes fight back. Good for testing nonetheless.



I've tested and tested and tested the AI and combat. Everything is working perfectly right now.

Another nice addition I've made is moveable rocks. Most Zelda games have had rocks which you can push to move out of the way. Some rocks are pretty obvious that they are moveable, others look less suspicious and can conceal special secrets and caves.



That's all of the updates I have for today, but I'd also like to discuss something else.

It would be much easier and allow for a better storyline if I took out the ability for you to choose to start out as a Zora or a Goron (two different races in the Zelda series). Up until now, I had planned for them to be playable characters. I've started to have second thoughts. Now I'm thinking about taking them out, keeping the four human-like characters as playable so that they can use swords, and making the Zora and Goron characters into rings. These rings would transform you into the Zora or Goron when you wear them. Once in the certain form, you'll attack with their attack.

That system is already in with the Nintendo Link ring. He uses his little 8-bit sword. It doesn't matter what you have equipped. If you're wearing the Nintento Link ring, you're using his sword.

So there's my idea. I'd like it if you guys commented on that matter. That's all I have for today though.
