Other Developments
Ive decided a name! at least for now im calling it oscimons (subject to change). "Oscilation" was the only word i could fit well with "mon" that had to do with the creatures. In addition, I plan on redoing the battle system again but with better a designed turn system. Thats going to be on a waitlist until other features are ready. I'm starting a job soon so please be patient to all 2 people that are keeping up with this.
Next Time
I plan on going ahead with adding the image loader ive been working on, so im pretty excited! Ill also add a mon info screen for the worldmap. then a few smaller things i havent gotten around to yet like structure collision, trigger zones, etc. but some of those features are pretty big and will wait longer.
Anyways
