Ok so it was a pretty good week I made major improvement to the combat system making it so armor actually block damage, and all the heroes have ability's that hopefully make team building much more strategic and fun, I've also made it so that enemy's and heroes have the ability to miss and dodge.
the game is quickly approaching what I would call beta if this week goes good then ill consider announcing it officially and putting together a demo.
in this upcoming week I want to take my first pass at adding juice to the game, my plan is to try to make combat have a lot of particle effects (started particle system today) and also have messages telling the player everything that's happening and damage numbers everywhere. I also have to do another pass over combat and make sure hero stats effect all the stuff that's happening.
in this post I'm including pics of all the steam art assets I've made (which I'm actually pretty proud of) as well as some enemy flavor text since I've finished all of it.
hopefully all of you had a good week and another good one this week!
