Development Blog for Colorless
this blog is mostly regarding the core mechanic of the game which is the follow target mechanic
when I start the transition from beat em up to a roguelite my vision was to have the player in a map and the enemies would just follow wherever the player went.
so when I started, I did some research and found the follow target behavior from Stencyl. it worked wonders for the first version.
After adding the behavior, I tested it out it was ok but there was a problem, the enemy has to be on the scene only then can I make it work why?
because it requires me to click on the enemy, then go in to the inspector mode, refresh the customize section, only then would I be able to set who the target actor is. This was fine for the first version as I was just testing out mechanic and stuff.
However to make my vision happen I had to find another way to make it happen. As I intend to make it so that it spawns as waves.
With the help of the Stencyl discord, a member of the server was kind enough to help me with the problem and the fix was so easy i didn't know why I couldn't figure it out.
This was the fix that made it work the way I want to. Basically this made the player to always be the target.
and that is the journey of making the core mechanic of my rougelite.
