Esa Engine
No game content, just a demonstration of an interface I am building for a gesture-based mobile RPG in Godot. This engine also has Tiled integration, i.e. all room-related data is designed in Tiled and Godot reads the .tmj (Tiled JSON) files.
Controls (still thinking about the best way for new players to digest this information):
Tap edge of screen | 1 step in cardinal direction (N, W, E, S) |
Swipe away from edge | Up to 8 steps (or until stopped) Note: while you are in transit you can queue up another gesture (tap or swipe) to execute once you have gone as far as possible. You can queue as many gestures as you want. |
Single-tap center | Stop |
Single-tap (or swipe) direction opposite current movement | Stop |
Double-tap edge of screen | Attempt to interact in that direction |
Double-tap center of screen (while at rest) | Open/close menu* |
* Menu appears, some options are disabled for lack of content. There will be a Secret-of-Mana-like radial menu for party/inventory management, controlled by a "virtual cursor" (you'll see.)
Character sprites are palette swaps of characters from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest which is owned by Squaresoft. All other pixel art & assets are my own work. All graphics at this point should be considered placeholder.
Constructive comments welcome. I've been building this on my Twitch stream https://twitch.tv/GreenCastleBlock so you can catch me there as well.
