[x] Fix travel map track (pick 1 of the 4 to use)
[x] Customize AI of enemy sides
[x] fine-tune enemy gold/income amounts (might actually be okay already)
[x] give enemy leaders names (need to check lore for this)
[x] do a better job controlling which monsters are allowed to do monster infighting (or just remove monster infighting entirely?)
[x] modify notes in objectives
[x] ~~fix issue with there being 2 Dulatuses~~
[x] write some more opening dialogue
[x] write some more dialogue for encountering/killing various enemies
[x] script cutscene for finding the Hammer of Thursagan, and introducing the secret final boss
[ ] investigate final boss event being triggerable multiple times
[ ] script separate (longer?) end cutscene, for after you kill the secret final boss (WIP; more text might need to be written)

[x] adjust color to look more fiery
[ ] commission an additional story image

For the last one, I need to figure out which enemy is the one picking it up in the first place... @knyghtmare thinks I should copy over the definition of the {OBJ_POTION_HEALING} macro and then reimplement to fit my needs, but Myrian (on Discord) thinks I should just hardcode the coordinates of the potions into the [avoid] portions of the enemy AI... for the latter, I'd need to find out which enemy was doing that, so I know which one to adjust the avoidance patterns of... unless I just do it for all of them?

cooljeanius commented 3 years ago

ok so Myrian is @ashmyr now

cooljeanius commented 3 years ago

The whole "2 Dulatuses" thing is pretty much the only one that's preventing me from releasing it as-is; the rest of them can all be worked on after a release...

cooljeanius commented 3 years ago

timeline.txt has some info on some stuff this scenario will need, both in terms of gameplay (a dwarf-Lich) and the closing cutscene(s): https://github.com/cooljeanius/The_Earths_Gut/blob/master/timeline.txt (some can be put off for an epilogue scenario after this one)

cooljeanius commented 3 years ago

So, I went and released 0.3.0 despite still having a few unchecked boxes here... those can be fixed in a followup release...

cooljeanius commented 3 years ago

@knyghtmare gave me one more: adjust the colors to be warmer, so I've added that to the list...

ok that ought to be done by b64c92520d9996186101103955251b6f9a651367

I don't think I'll be able to fully finish this until a post-BfW-1.16 release, so, postponing for now...

cooljeanius commented 3 years ago

I made a bit of progress on the end cutscene recently, but there's still a lot to be done on it, not to mention the entire epilogue scenario that's supposed to follow...

cooljeanius commented 2 years ago

as of df8fcf4 I'm going to say the first checkbox here is done

cooljeanius commented 2 years ago

Tempted to close this, but I'm not quite sure yet...

cooljeanius commented 1 year ago

So, for the closing cutscene, I need to decide on someone to ask Dulatus about the book that's supposed to go with the hammer... @Konrad22 any suggestions? Also did you notice any enemies picking up potions at all?

cooljeanius commented 1 year ago

Some of the stuff from #33 might actually go here instead
