My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
I’ve been working on my Shadow Monsters project. I added in the ability to bind shadow monsters similar to capturing pokemon in Pokemon. It is working okay. I will probably change the animation but it works for now. Here is a short video of the battle engine with the binding process.
