Hey everyone!
Want to go back to some show, don't tell, so here is a quick glimpse at the past month of progress.
Chapter 5 map:
New weapons with powerful abilities:
New elite enemies, kite and tower shields:
I'm now working on chapter 6, but ran into a bit of a roadblock where all my units are promoting, and not all promotions are finished yet. So to be able to correctly test chapter 6's balance, I will be implementing all of the first promotion tiers (Advanced). So far I have 2 of 14 advanced classes completed. Depending on the complexity, I usually finish about a class every day, so I'm confident I can get all of them done this month.
Changelog
- Chapter 5 events and balancing complete.
- Chapter 6 map creation started.
- Kaelith introduced as an enemy with the new Fury ability.
- New stat growth items. When equipped, increase a specific stat's growth rate by 25%. Tradeoff between future pay-off and using the weight for more item flexibility.
- New playable unit Cedric with a non-lethal ability "Salvation" that allows you to spare enemies with under 50% HP.
- New side quests and events involved in sparing enemy units.
- Kite and Tower shields introduced. Reworked the defender class ability to synergize with tower shields.
- Fixed issue where game would freeze on the death of a player unit if they initiated combat.
Future
- Complete chapter 6 map.
- Finish all Advanced class promotions (14 total).
