[03] A Wobbly Vertical Slice

Hoo!

At the time of writing, it is Saturday, 21 September 2019, 07:57. I haven't slept yet. I mean, I usually wake up at 14:00 or so on the weekends anyway, but I'm usually asleep before, you know, 08:00.

Anyway!

I present a huge update to The Odyssey of the Nine, version number 0.1.4. This is what my Trello board's column for this release's notes looks like:

A little nuts!!

I'm a little later than I wanted here with the bulk of the update, it being 9 days after the last new version, but please understand: This was a massive undertaking lmao

I've reached near feature-completeness with this title. Mechanically speaking, all I'm missing from my design outline is the ability to rank up your characters' special attacks, which honestly, would only take me another day or two's worth of effort to get wedged in here.

This version is, like the ones before it, a little rough around the edges, visually speaking. The functionality is there (I hope!) but it's Not That Pretty. I'm hoping to address the Pretty sometime later. Soon? Probably later.

Imagine it: actually having spell animations. Sprite states. The thought makes me salivate.

Anyway, I've been sitting at my desk preparing this update for 10 hours straight now, and I really need to get some sleep. I'm freakin' praying that nobody stumbles upon some enormous game-breaking bug within the next 24 hours that I'll need to up an emergency update for.
