Game Shutting Down
No surprise here but I have been unable to continue working on this game for a while now for various reasons. This is just the official announcement that this game is closing down. I think some of you who have tried playing this recently weren't even able to log in or were experi

Major Bug Fixes
A lot of code was redone for how abilities are used and queued up. This was tedius but the result is that some major bugs have been squashed. But there might be some new ones showing up now so we'll see how that goes...

Fixed bug where abilities would sometimes cast twice
Fixed bug where an ability would only be casted half way and the queued up ability would then start up
Fixed a bug where ability casting animations would sometimes play twice
Fixed bug where Recharge would cast twice resulting in the Recharge visual effect being permanently on your monster
Fixed bug where queued ability after a Recharge command would result in the queued ability casted while still Recharging the entire time

WIP New Health/Mana/Stamina and Active + Queued Abilities UI
imgur More attempts to update the UI to be more simple and clear. This is the Spectator view so no controls are displayed and the Fireball queue UI on top of the dino(Brydon) is part of the old UI that is replaced by the slicker ability bars right on top of the healthbar

Dev Preview - Techniques
Lately I’ve been working on giving players other options rather than forcing monsters to have the base ability Recharge. The idea is that there would be another ability slot that you could customize and only certain abilities would be available for that slot, and that slot only.
Lately I’ve been working on giving players other options rather than forcing monsters to have the base ability Recharge. The idea is that there would be another ability slot that you could customize and only certain abilities would be available for that slot, and that slot only. This means that you would only be able to have one of these special abilities equipped at a time. For now I’m calling these special abilities “Techniques”(couldn’t come up with anything better).
Being able to swap out Recharge is something that made more sense after introducing Dugo to the game and wanting there to be a dive mechanic for him. Following the last patch that made Mana recharge over time, letting go of Recharge is now possible. With this change, you now have the option of swapping Dugo’s Dive for Recharge if you wanted to.
At this time, Techniques work just like regular abilities, except that they do not cost any resources to use and have no EX versions. Here are the Techniques that are currently in the development build.

Recharge
Dive
Focus(no longer an Ability)
Flame On
Psych Up
Recharge lets your monster regenerate Mana at an increased rate that scales with your monster’s Mana stat.
Good for heavy Mana users that want to dish out more ranged abilities.
Dive is a Technique available to monsters that are slower on land than in water. While in Dive stance, your monster’s speed is greatly increased but Stamina regeneration is halted completely until your monster surfaces again.
Great for slow monsters that want to be more mobile and have an easier time landing melee abilities from a distance.
Focus gives the user a Focused status effect. While Focused, the next ability used by your monster consumes the Focused status and the damage from this ability will be boosted by 50%.
This is good for hard hitting monsters that want to multiply their damage.
Flame On is a Technique available to all fire types. It gives the user a Flame On status effect which lasts for 15 seconds. While affected by this status, all fire abilities used will have their damage increased by 4. Any physical contact with the enemy monster will also apply a Burned status effect to them.
This is a good choice for a fire type monster with quick and multi hit fire attacks as well as monsters who want to get some extra chip from non fire melee abilities.
Psych Up is a Technique available to all Psychic types. It gives the user a Psyched Up status which lasts for 5 seconds. While Psyched Up is active, all non EX Psychic abilities that are blockable will activate 3x faster.
This is a powerful effect that is great for creating lot of pressure but it will also drain your resources pretty quickly.
These are the ideas behind each Technique, though there will probably be some that are stronger than others for now. I’ll balance them over time.
So that’s what I got going on right now. There is lots of room for more Techniques to be created. These Techniques should open up more styles of play and make monsters feel much more different in battle. I’m going to have to work a lot on AI though since there’s a lot of logic in there that was based around Recharge being available, but that can come after I patch the game since it’s been a while.
