Tactics Exploration

Hey! My favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy Tactics. I've always wanted to build a multiplayer version, and I don't have a job right now so why not!

Setup

Assets

This project uses git-lfs to track assets. You'll likely need to install git-lfs to get started.

Building the project

This project is written in Rust! Use rustup to setup Rust.

From the root of the project, run cargo build which will take a fair bit of time on the first go, as it needs to compile all of bevy.

After that, you should be able to run cargo run to run the project with a fair bit of speed.

Testing the Project

cargo test is your friend!

Building for "other targets"

WebAssembly

Check out this guide: https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/platforms/wasm.html

One time installation:

rustup target install wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo install wasm-server-runner

Then run cargo web which is an alias configured in .cargo/config.toml

Steam Deck

Building

Use this: https://github.com/paul-hansen/bevy_steamos_docker?tab=readme-ov-file Used docker cli version 29.1.3

Steam Deck Configuration

Had to enable sshd via systemd directly on the steam deck since I couldn't get the steamoskit thing to work.

Once you have that, it's easy to copy the release files directly to a folder, create a desktop shortcut, and then from there you can add the "non-steam" content so that you can see the game in playmode.

Add something like this to ~/.ssh/config

Host deck
  HostName <RUN ip addr on deck to get your ip>
  User deck
  Port 22
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/<YOUR_IDENTITY_FILE>

Then you can just scp contents over

Asset Attributions!

I'm using a fair bit of community assets here and there. This section is dedicated to attributions for those! Thank you all so much! It'd be so much worse making a game without all of these!

Sprites

I'm using a collection of different sprites.

For tiles and some characters for now, I'm using the TinyTactics Battle Kit here by Tiopalada. See the license here

VFX

• Fire Effect Explosion I got here
• Acid Effect I got here

Fonts

In a few places, I'm using the tinyRPGFontKit by Tiopalada. Check out the license here and the pack here.

I'm also using the pixelify_sans font which is licensed here

Sound Assets

SFX

I'm using JD Sherberts Pixel UI Sfx Pack! You can see the license here

I'm using some sfx sounds from Leohpaz! Check it out here

Battle Music

I recorded this actually!
