Yeah I think there's something with the idea!
I've never actually played armoured core but I listened to the Into the Aether podcast discussing it after I had this idea was surprised of the similarities.
There's a whole bunch that I didnt get done like Cloverpit like 'boons' that last for different lengths and stuff. Also I was toying with equipable armour and different weapons and melee weapons etc.
The end goal would be to be like 'oh I've got some good boons going for flamethrower, burn damage and multikills so I'm going to buff those stats and grab multipliers that feed into that'
Can't claim the design, that's def a pre-bought asset. I've only got coding bones... no artistic ones :P
