Thanks. I have more updates before then though. Steam will be special though. Any release funds are going straight into more assets and developing art to make the game better. - Thread starter Dergeproductions

Irony of implementing a new battle system.
Implementing it is a battle.
Here is an example of the new system.
You now have care and control over battles with:
5 actions: attack, inventory (since I know some of you cheated and pulled it up anyway lol) guard (lose turn, restore 10% hp), run away, and cast magic.
There are also a few fixes: monster def and mdef now affects damage against them
Monster types dictate their def and mdef, ie: normal creatures which have good def, and high mdef, summoned creatures which are balanced between them, and magical creatures which have very high def, and very low mdef.
The magic system is just a taste leading upto chapter two, but it completely rewrites how you will approach battles especially with slimes who now have high def, and a standard 5 mdef, which is a racial characteristic.
Group images now show the group (i see some cut off. I will fix later.)
And... weapons now have primary and magical types. Same with armours. Some are naturally more magical. -Derge

Hey all. A little update. I have done a ton of polishing, and taken Jakus to the next chapter. I would be polishing Lucy off, but I'm not. The new battle system is taking me forever to finish upgrading fully. Especially because all the old battles need to be replaced, and some jackass made us walk six maps into a 30 map dungeon full of monsters to battle.
That guy is an A-hole. And I don't like him rn. Its been 16 hours. I am on Slime dungeon 5. Anyway I am off to bed. I will finish tomorrow so we can do at least one of these updates.
On the plus side the new battle system, atleast look Breath of fire inspired. I love it.

The....
Son of a beotch.
My internet died while writing this.
I have to run to the store for a new modem code.
Virulent, the universe is being a dick rn and not letting me finish haha.
Soon. I will go get the cord, come back, and finish this damn thing.
The good news is once it's done you will be busy with Lucy.
70+ maps just for her
Hundreds of battles and stories.
City building.
New, new battle system.
More features. Back in 10.
Let me know if you wanna see some screen shots while I work as teasers.

Vague guess is I have 30 hours of work left at minium. Before both Jakus and Lucy are done their Chapter 1s with all the new bells and whistles.Hmm...any idea or a vague guess when i can play or test lucy?

The amount of fixes I have made in the cavern of slimes is over 1000 lines. How have you all not complained more. 23 endings, literally ended the game instead of returning to the map. XD

Dont worry, once lucy is done i will complain about every single bug and possible improvements i find ^^
Finding problems one of my strongest points...in other areas i am also good in solving them with the most unconventional ways, sadly coding is not my area.

Okay. Thoughts on this. As it will help to lengthen the game. It's not really about grind, but to make sure we dont have people skipping battlle 10000x. You can only level up once per battle. You store the rest of the xp. So if you want to access all those levels, you have to return to town and sleep to do it. Thoughts?

It's definately better. And it feels like a video game now; however, for polishing I am going to need a belt sander. Tomorrow I think I am going to focus more on a forensic kind of line by line check of the code for impurities, and some "Breath of life" improvements, to make the town and city more lively. Then I will continue with the regular work of completing everything else.

Hmm...not really a fan of the sleep to level idea...the first mod i ever downloaded for oblivion was one to skip that step and auto level up if the xp allow it...now i always have around 100, but this mod is still the first.
It just dont makes sense. You gain xp on the battlefield, so you get better there, not in a bed...well, except you earn xp for sex too, but that would be a separate skilltree ^^
However, flip-flopping is annoying, its enough most games have most questgivers in towns, no need to run there more often.

this issue is also in the code. I had a friend consult on making our level up systems more concise. They did. Now it takes half the space and works half as well. XD damn it. I will adjust to sort it out.
