Been taking time in the mornings again to work on the game. It's just been falling behind and I have been okay at work so just have to juggle which one comes first depending on how I'm doing at each. Very grateful to work from home because it allows me to prioritize and shift the order of things. Flexibility.
Anyway today I spent time implementing more interesting passives. Previously I just had stat changes based on the passives they take, but I thought it would be more interesting to restrict things and add whole new behaviors. Right now, these are the things I came up with (and implemented pretty quickly I must say)
- Oath of Courage
- Free attack per enemy adjacent
- Cannot disengage while adjacent to living enemy
- Oath of Perfection
- -4 to crit roll (way better odds)
- 1 damage to self upon missing attack, to a minimum of 50% HP
- Oath of Endurance
- Downgrade all critical hits and reduce incoming damage by 1
- One attack per turn
I feel pretty good about these. These seem at least on paper to be quite a bit more impactful than my original ideas. And it's kinda neat, I'm using some of the older ideas I had too.
Anyway I'm just keeping up the work. I feel inspired again to finish this thing and I'm starting to get better at putting in the work. I need to start posting dev logs and advertising more now that I have the Steam page up. But one thing at a time; I really need to get these abilities nice and solidified. I think a lot of the game is becoming more and more clear and I'm glad I've cut features that I have. I feel like if I can just get this system ironed out, next up would be probably tuning the combat to make sure everything is good, then the complete UI reworking. Idk, maybe I should wait on the UI rework until I have ironed out all major features (like strategy layer progression)... we'll see.
Anyway it's off to work. Later.
