Update: Points Re-Allocation Limit and Choice Effect UI Options

13 Dec 2021Developer post

Hey everyone!

Points Re-allocation Limit

The first big change in today's update is the limiting of re-allocating points to once per chapter.

So the story flow is not interrupted by the temptation to re-allocate the points yet again for yet another dice roll
But you never feel like you made a mistake and can’t get your points back
We also allow to remove wealth upgrades on a story step with choices costing wealth, so you never feel like you can’t allocate your wealth points out of fear of a choice coming up that costs more than you have left

UI Options: Hide Choice Effect Value

Second, you can now hide the exact values that choices can have on stats separately.

You know the choice affects a stat, but you have to read the choice text to know which way
So that you both rely on role-playing and not clicking choices based on stat effects only
But at the same time don’t feel like a choice had an unexpected effect
