Party Menu Update

Here comes another major update. This adds the new party menu that allows you to switch out your valomon whenever you want in battle. It also adds a new creature to the game, Whispurr, the Grave type cat valomon!

So, this update added a lot of complexity to the battle logic and how things are handled. Switching in a valomon that has not been knocked out lets your opponent get a turn to make a move while your bringing out your new creature. Status conditions are held over between being switched out and in. The new win condition also changed and now the opponent needs to knock out both your valomon to win. The party menu shows you all the entries you have for your party and it will include your creature’s sprite, health bar, health numbers, name, level, status condition, and if they have fainted or not.

The next update is going to be UI updates and I’m going to add back sprites and change the orientation of the battle UI to make it clear where your valomon is in battle. I’m also going to add some togglable menus, one that shows your current stats, like you used the move metal coating and you have increased defense it shows you that, or if your speed is decreased it shows you that as well, in addition to the current stage those stats are at. Another is going to show you the weaknesses, resistances, strengths, and immunities of the opponent’s current valomon. I might also have it do the same for your current valomon as well.

Try it and let me know what your think!
