All right, first big update since publishing the project! This one has a lot of refactoring and QOL, but we're still on the road towards something fun with a complete game loop. A lot of things are still pending, but I'm pretty happy with the direction we're headed!
This update also includes a lot of content, although it's mostly stubbed. I was hoping I'd get to add only finished -- or at least completely functional -- content by now, but this turned out to be quite a bit of work that I still haven't gotten around to doing.
I've made a lot of progress laying down the basics, but each step forward opens up three new paths I'll eventually have to go down. Also, the roadmap I had on the last update was mostly reprioritized throughout the week, so the things we saw there are mostly still pending or underway. I have a full roadmap that I hope to share one day, but for now these are the highest priorities:
These are the status effects that have already been implemented:
Below is the in-game move data for the existing moves. Note that most effects listed are still not implemented, but I do have an ongoing task to implement all of them.
