Character heart meters #7

Open ExcaliburZero opened 9 years ago

ExcaliburZero commented 9 years ago

With dbe2d2484ed074536e3c3f235250118b5d2c8aac I added character heart meters to the game. Each character that is romance-able will have a heart meter that indicates their closeness to Haruki. (Except for Kosuke, because) As the character becomes closer to Haruki the color of their heart meter will change.

For the heart meters we will need to decide on the colors that will be used and what order they will be in. And we will need to get together the artwork for them.

For the colors of the heart meter, we can use any set of colors we want to indicate the heart points. Though one example we can go by is the Harvest Moon series, which uses this order: Black < Purple < Blue < Green < Yellow < Orange < Red. We can go with that color system, alter it, or make a different one. However, I'm not sure how many levels there would need to be, and thus how many colors we would need.

We will then also need artwork for the character hearts. I'm not sure what you all want to do for that. If you just want to have a set design and do re-colors of it, have the heart get bigger for higher heart levels, have more intricate designs for higher levels, etc. We will need to come to decisions on those things and get the artwork ready.

This issue isn't very important currently, and will not need to be finished for the Proof of Concept.

We need to:

which? egg or the flower heart? I think both are true works of art

So what should we do in terms of the heart meters?

I think we've decided on the colors, which is good. But we will need to wait till later on to see how many different colors we will actually use.

juanitayor has come up with some designs for the heart meters, however the sprites in the game will need have a transparent background. So I'm not sure if anyone wants to re-draw the hearts with a transparent background, or if we want to try to modify the existing files to have a transparent background. I'd recommend the former, as I tried making the backgrounds of the current images transparent, but it didn't come out very well.
