🪱Juice Galaxy 0.2.13 ⚡~ Fleaches, Damage Numbers, and Lightning
Hello! I hope everyone has been well!
I ended up taking a pretty long break since the last update, and now I'm gearing up for the next wave of updates. For this one, we are starting small just to make sure I still know what I am doing.
Fleaches!
A brand new monster! The Fleach is a leech-like creature that latches onto living things and drinks their Juice. It will also seek out and gobble up corpses on the ground. Once it latches on, it deals continuous damage and sucks Juice based on the damage done. You can get your juice back by killing and eating it. It spawns in the wilderness and from Rocks that are destroyed.
Damage Numbers
Finally you can see how much damage you are doing. Enable them in Visual settings tab. Next up I'll try and add health bars!
Lightning improvements
I took some time to polish up the electrical system, making its animation and sound more dynamic while also improving its chaining capabilities, visuals, audio, and level scaling.
Added a proper animation. Lightning arcs now take time to travel through the air, instead of all happening instantaneously.
Arcs now deal slightly reduced damage (75%) with each bounce.
Chain range increased 60 => 100, and chain logic fixed so it can hit more targets if they’re close together.
Arc width and pitch now depends on the amount of damage it’s doing. Massive zaps sound pretty crazy.
For the Grimoire: Arc spell, # of chain bounces now scales with item level
