New stat system coming!

Chat, I think I’ve gone a little loco but let’s all pretend I haven’t, okay?

So, why is this update taking so long? Well… the old version of the game had a little 8-stat personality system on a 4-axis model. 

And then I thought: what if I ditched the numbers entirely and created a fully customized character psychology sheet for every possible MC?

How many stats would I need? Eight? Ten? Twenty-five??

Well, doctor, I can't really remember the rest, but I ended up with this.  

Introducing the new personality axis system!

Every in-game choice subtly shifts your MC along these 25 spectrums, creating your unique personality profile. 

Attached above is a peek at the new character description sheet I’m adding to the menu; each trait has three possible descriptions based on how far you lean in either direction.

Emotional – How the MC feels

• Passion (0 = apathetic / 10 = passionate)
• Composure (0 = anxious / 10 = composed)
• Confidence (0 = insecure / 10 = confident)
• Temper (0 = volatile / 10 = steady)
• Outlook (0 = pessimistic / 10 = optimistic)

Social – How the MC interacts

• Empathy (0 = cold / 10 = empathetic)
• Wit (0 = earnest / 10 = witty)
• Attachment (0 = detached / 10 = attached)
• Trust (0 = suspicious / 10 = trusting)
• Tact (0 = blunt / 10 = tactful)

Worldview - What the MC thinks about society and power

• Altruism (0 = selfish / 10 = altruistic)
• Individualism (0 = collectivist / 10 = individualist)
• Authority (0 = conformist / 10 = rebellious)
• Justice (0 = pragmatic / 10 = principled)
• Idealism (0 = cynical / 10 = idealistic)

Philosophical – The MC’s beliefs about existence

• Faith (0 = skeptical / 10 = faithful)
• Hedonism (0 = ascetic / 10 = hedonistic)
• Stoicism (0 = emotional / 10 = stoic)
• Materialism (0 = spiritual / 10 = materialistic)
• Meaning (0 = nihilistic / 10 = purposeful)

Behavioral – How the MC acts

• Patience (0 = impatient / 10 = patient)
• Eros (0 = reserved / 10 = lustful)
• Curiosity (0 = incurious / 10 = curious)
• Playfulness (0 = serious / 10 = playful)
• Honesty (0 = deceptive / 10 = honest)

*Still WIP of course, but will love to hear what y'all think!
