Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

I updated the Android and iOS versions (v1.0.19) to include the new UI improvements from above. So now IBbasic v1.0.19 is available for PC, Android, and iOS. Now I can get back to my Hearkenwold Let's Play, updating IB, importing Hearkenwold to IBbasic (updating the import tool for that), and maybe ...

Make sure to record it so we can watch :D

Re: Hearkenwold

Looking great! Sounds like you have the conversion process down pretty well if it only takes a month or so. Is everything done manually in the conversion? Is KotC2 tile based or are the maps a single image?

Re: Pescua [title work in progress!]

This is great and I love hard to find quests because I am always trying to find them and I very much appreciate them :P Most of the great RPGs have lots of content that many (the ones who play fast and are not thorough) never see, but the "true" RPG players appreciate :D Chapters 1 and 2 i...

Re: Saving throws in convos

I can add a saving throw check script similar to the way skill checks are done. For IBbasic, I want to add a pop-up dialog screen that does the dice roll for skill and saving throw checks in conversations. It would look similar to the IBbasic d20 screen in combat. I could do something similar in IB ...

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

I finished the UI rework of the game and the toolset. I went with a slight combination of Options 1 and 2. All UI elements can be toggled on/off for the most part. I posted v1.0.18 (PC version) to the NW Vault for those wanting to see the changes and provide feedback. https://neverwintervault.org/pr...

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

I've tried smaller buttons before, but it is hard for phones and fat thumbs :lol: RPG Crawler made me a video with a bunch of feedback and suggestions (is unlisted so non-public) on how to improve the UI for an app that is trying to work well for both PC and mobile. Of course that isn't really easy ...

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

So RPG Crawler mention that one of the largest weaknesses of IBbasic is the interface and clutter. I'm not as experienced or well versed as Dorateen, Pongo, and others. Do you guys have any suggestions (maybe a mock up or description) of how to improve or revamp the interface to be more intuitive an...

Re: Pescua [title work in progress!]

It's funny how certain mannerisms will creep into descriptive text. A little repetition/exaggeration is OK I think especially where most of the "action" takes place in a text window, it helps the reader visualize the scene. Also, it is possible that a group of people in a small town will ...

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

We got a nice review from RPG Crawler about IBbasic. He has some good insight and feedback on needed improvements and the parts he liked.
