Ponpai Update 7 - Layering Sprites


Hello! Things have been hectic in real life, per usual. I have a new job now, plus I got burn out on Ponpai so I took a few weeks vacation. I'm honestly surprised I got this much done in how little time I was actually doing anything! Here's what's new:

  • At long last, objects, NPCs, enemies, and the player are layered with a YSort! You can now stand in front of, and behind, people and objects depending on where you are! This was embarrassingly simple to add, I'm not sure why I didn't do this before... Also, this will stop working if you climb the bridge in the forest. I'll fix that another day.
  • New ponpai!
    • Ogreech, an ogre that won't stop screaming!
    • Wonttell, a ponpai that refuses to spill their secrets!
    • Zarklaw, a super powerful being made of nightmares who appears if you lose enough times! Right now it's set to two losses, but it'll be more in the final game.
    • Strawfish, a somewhat amphibious creature that breathes in air and water!
  • With this, we've hit over 100 ponpai in-game!
  • Hovering over an attack in the attack selection screen (in Friendchip) will let you see what it does, and its range!
  • 00000000 now has options to change its ability!
  • Jasmine will now be in bed after a steamy Chipper date, or if you game over!
  • I can now give certain text boxes a bigger font!
  • If you click on a sidequest in the sidequest menu, it'll display some more information!
  • Nyoko-Chan now has an animation for getting out of the trash bin :3 uwu
  • Some more ponpai have full directional sprites!
  • Got rid of the thing where large objects would turn transparent when you move behind them. It didn't help at all really.

I hope you enjoy!
