Contribute

All types of contributations (art, programming, music) are greatly appreciated! Even if you have no programming experience, you can contact alfaroeric127@gmail.com to propose ideas or transfer assets to be implemented in the game. If you are familiar with Godot, follow the instructions below for the specific content you are creating.

Rooms

Create a folder with the name of your room (using snake_case) in res://main/world/room/
Create an inherited scene of res://main/world/room/Room.tscn
Make any changes and save the scene to your folder. Keep the name of this scene as Room.tscn. Your room is now ready to be loaded in game!

Collision

Ensure your props and TileMaps are set on the appropriate collision layers (visible in the Project Settings)
No node should be on the player collision layer

Beds

There is no strict requirement for what or where you place any nodes, but all beds should be placed as a child of Props/Interactable/Terminals
Make sure any bed's Room variable is set to the root of your scene

Enemies

Instance an enemy from res://main/world/enemy/
Set the enemy's Creature variable to an array of creatures of your choice from res://main/battle/creature/
Keep Anim Name to the name of the animation you want to be looping on your enemy
Configure any other variables with sensible values

Music

Compare your music files with others in-game to make sure it isn't too loud or quiet. A range of -15 to -8 db is recommended
Reimport any music files with loop enabled
Attach music files to the room's Music variable

Combat

Creatures

Create a folder with the name of your creature (using all lower case, using spaces instead of underscores) in res://main/battle/creature/
Create an inherited scene of res://main/battle/creature/Creature.tscn
Set its Creature Name variable to match the name of the folder but capitalized (eye worm -> Eye Worm)
Set its stats to any integer value above 0
If wanted, set its Def Offinity to a dictionary (String : String) with affinities as keys and a resistance as values Affinities: "phys", "fire", "water", "elec", "wind", "light", "dark", "flesh" Resistances: "resist", "repel", "absorb", "null", "weak"
Do the same with Off Affinity, but replace the value with an integer value in the range of [180, 110] or [-110, -180] for negative boosts. The middle digit and the sign represent the actual value seen in game (ie. -180 -> -8, 140 -> 4). Keep your value in multiples of tens
Instance skills from res://main/battle/skill/ and place them into the appropriate skill nodes of the creature
If this creature will learn skills at certain level ups, place them in order as children of UnlearnedSkills and configure the Skill Levels array to hold every integer level at which this creature will learn a skill
Attach any ai script from res://main/battle/ai/ to AI. The default ai script will choose skills to use at random

AI

Extend res://main/battle/ai/ai.gd script and place this new script within a new folder under res://main/battle/ai/
Overwrite the do_turn function with the logic your ai implements

func do_turn(same: Array, opposite: Array, controller: Creature) -> Array:
	# opposite: array of opposing party creatures
	# same: array of team party creatures
	# controller: the creature calling this function

	# return array 0: tag of current action, "Skill" or "Pass" in most cases
	# return array 1: reference to skill of creature if tag is "Skill" 
	# return array 2: an array of the targets of the skill if tag is "Skill"

	# example:
	return ["Skill",  controller.get_node("Skills/Active/Cleave"), [opposite[0]]

Attach this script to any creature's AI node
