Antinomia: FF6

So if you want proof that I'm actually working on this again, here's the event that had been giving me such a headache now that I've gotten back to it and smoothed out most of the bugs:



So, now in the World of Ruin we're staring with Terra instead of Celes.  Terra gets to Mobliz right after Kefka destroys it and there's still corpses of the kids' parents floating around, because the world is horrible now.



Terra may not have figured out the whole "love" thing yet, but she's not a jerk, so she offers to help out around town.  If only she knew what she's set herself up for...



Katarin is there to dole out the chores.  The fishing event has been repurposed here, but even though there's water around, there's no "beach" tiles in this tileset to allow Terra access to the water, so she's stuck with the other NPC mob that has an overworld sprite: rats.



And just like in "Demolition Man", rat burgers are what's on the menu here.  However, this time around she's not just picking up the rats, she's fighting them, too.  And because this also serves the purpose of keeping the rats out of the crops, it's prudent to kill all of them whether they're edible or not for maximum points.  Therefore, there's at least an option whether you want to keep the meat to not unfairly hurt your score.




But because I'm a masochist, pest-control isn't the only chore Katarin might randomly dish out to keep Terra on her toes.  Because I love dozens of branch statements whose address references all get thrown off if I decide I need to set an extra bit flag somewhere (like realizing I needed the scoring to differentiate between Terra killing all the rats on the field and the 1/16 chance that it doesn't spawn any rats to begin with and therefore needing to insert a flag, causing everything to shift.  Gaaahhh)



And if Terra isn't up to snuff, we're killing little Timmy.  (ignore the "0" at the end, I currently have the scores associated with each dialogue option written on them to keep track of how the score is progressing more easily)

For some reason the background timer that ticks down the score every second in the original Solitary Island event doesn't play nice with the Mobliz map, as it causes the map to shift one tile to the left every time it resets, and disables Katarin's speaking event if it resets while she's on screen, which was causing weird softlocks.  So for this version, I ended up getting rid of the timer and now there's just a set number of points you lose every time the score is calculated which is equal to the average amount of time it takes to perform the collection of tasks you're given for any given round.  So if you really wanted to you can lose really fast by talking to Katarin repeatedly and doing nothing else.
