Late last night/early this morning I decided to throw away almost all of the work and try something else. Three things happened in this order:
- I was really surprised that the new mechanic worked really well with the theme and was a little sexy.
- The game seemed more or less complete.
- I realized I have time left over for polish.
So things went from pretty bad to actually surprisingly good. I just need to figure out where I want to add polish. I’m worried that if I add odd encounters it might throw off the balance in the late game.
