Posted May 18, 2025 by Greah
- What's New
- 3 New Zones.
- Completely changed the song for Horde battles
- Adjusted the music.
- Added text sound for the companions Ves and Wes.
- Added an affinity system for companions,
getting to 100 points will permanently increase a stat.- Building affinity with Ves will increase Defense.
- Building affinity with Wes will increase Attack.
- Added an Armorer in the Artisan District in all towns,
you can pay for a temporary attack boost in battles there.
- Added sound for battles, but only for the player's actions for now.
- Overhauled enemies paradigm arts, the key to avoiding damage is by
changing your stance (By going into OR leaving your guard stance). - Overhauled the Combat Menu to streamline battle.
- The first menu is the active menu.
It contains the three attack types (Rush, Break, and normal) - The second menu is the passive menu.
You can change your stance or flee from here for now. - Press "B" to toggle between these two menus.
- Removed Brutal strikes, I plan to replace them with Tag Combos next update.
- Using a break attack when the enemy would raise their guard
(which would lead you into breaking their Guard),
now doesn't clear their break debuff. - Adjusted Enemy stat generation.
- What's Next
- Work more on the map of course.
- Add a fast travel network between towns.
- Adjust the road signs in Lavrys.
- Some of the older signs are baked into the backgrounds,
while I adjust the directions i won't move those yet. - I'll add road new signs that are not baked into the backgrounds
to help with navigating Lavrys.
- Introduce Tag Combos to replace Brutal Strikes that I have removed.
- Make the 50/50 chance the Partner buff stat might be added,
happen per attack instead of per fight to make it more effective while still balanced. - Work on the affinity system to include multiple levels
and improving your paradigm arts by leveling up your affinity.- This will pave the way to include more companions.
- Introduce the foundation for a Reputation system.
- The groundwork for other things.
