I just started working on a game just to see if i could do it and its fun working on it but now I’m not sure what to do next.
The game so far is a turn based fighting game similar to pokemon on the game boy.
My question is whats the best way for me to have many different characters to choose from? My only thoughts were to make a movieclip for each one but this I'm guessing is not the best way to do it. the game is all turn based so speed should not be a factor in the decision (opposed to a shooter game where one way might get laggy). I would think having tons of movie clips each with many animations might get the file size pretty big, but i have no idea and don't know what the typical size of a flash game should be.
Also, any ideas on how to load and keep the individual character data, like Power, Strength, Defense? Right now I’m just loading it from an XML and seems to be working good. I plan on having a bunch of characters and keep adding them to the game.
