What have I been up to?
Hey guys! It's been a while since my last post as I needed to take some time away from actively developing the game so I could have some time playing it and also just get a break for a bit to get to work on other things going on in life. Well, there's no way I'm giving up on this game in case anyone was wondering. In fact, I would like to share a sneak peek at what I've been up to!
I'm currently trying to bring the tables from the Adventure Book back to their original card forms (fonts will need some changing for readability... I mean, just look at that 'M' for 'Monster' for the Gaseous Spore), Here's what they used to look like:
What's the plan?
So, yeah, definitely a pretty big upgrade will be coming at some point. I wish I could say when I'd have all the cards done by, but it's hard to say at the moment as I've been quite busy with other responsibilities as of late. At the very least I would like to share my plan for the next update:
- Turn all encounter tables into encounter cards
- Turn all dungeon related tables into dungeon cards
- Turn the quests, reactions, and some of the character tables into character cards
- Turn the spells, enchantments, curses, goods, treasures, and artifact tables into loot cards
So, in total, there will be four decks of cards. It's possible that an oracle deck will be coming at some point, but that's going to be very low on the list of priorities. I'm also going to create the sky encounter deck separately as (1) there's no way I could fit it with all the other encounters on the encounter cards, and (2) the sky encounters are insanely difficult so I'm thinking they will be more like an optional addition to the game for those seeking an even greater challenge (maybe it will be a part of a 'Challenge Deck' that will have some other terrain like water and the desert).
Keeping these cards constantly up to date with the latest version of the game will probably be a huge chore that will take away precious game development time, so I can't guarantee that I will update them all that often if at all after creating their first versions. For that reason, the Adventure Book will be staying for those who wish to have the most up to date encounters, loot, etc..
