Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely check out your game too, I’m curious to see how others handled a similar concept.
As for your questions, yes the portraits are randomly generated based on premade parts. The success rate isn’t actually capped, and because of the way I’ve set it up you could technically ensure 100% critical successes if you have a 20 in a skill. This is a bit of an oversight on my part, but I thought it worked well enough for a jam project.
I was glad to hear that you came up with a personalized way of setting up your things. That was my intention and I’m very happy it resonated with you. I think there are many improvements to the UI that could be made, but keeping the heist menu below other items definitely makes sense. If I get around to making a post-jam version, it might be something I implement.
The negative heat is not intended, I just didn’t do a very good job of ordering the different things that happen when you transition to a new turn. Again, something to possibly polish.
Thanks again for your thoughtful comments!
