Progress #2

I have an idea for three more character. Two of the villains might make it into the first version. The other playable character might make a cameo in version one. Two of the new characters tie really well into my overall story idea.

The game play dynamic is working pretty well now. There's still one little bug that keeps repeating on me, but it causes one of two clear outcomes so I should be able to solve it.

I lowered the Autobot's HP and found that Decepticon wins don't work properly yet.

I started coming up with trivia questions but I have a lot more work to do on that. I'm going to get out the books and DVDs and find more.

The other thing I'm keen to get working is the AI, both for the Decepticons (who currently either randomly attack or use a default attack) and for the team leader (who currently just calls out Block! whatever the attack).

After that it's the fun stuff: special powers, events, some simple animations, and the design.
