Here it is!! The big overhaul I've been teasing for a while now! Evoria's entire battle system is going through a change!!
I've taken a lot of inspiration from the Paper Mario series- HP, MP, and Attack stats are all WAY lower to start (We're talking your default attack does 2 damage with a successful action command, 1 damage with a bad one, and 0 if you miss it entirely)
There's also a ton of changes with other stats, HP-based skills, a full-on EXP/level up system, skills that change depending on your equipment, and a whole lot more! I'll talk more about everything in-depth later on, but for now I just wanted to give you all an overview!
This new battle system is something I've had in mind for a while, so I decided to just up and go for it! Like I said, there's a LOT more to share (I mean, think of all the stuff in the video I haven't talked about yet!), and because of that, you'll be seeing posts on here a lot more often than usual! So look forward to that!!
Just to be clear as well, even though this is a huge overhaul, you WILL be able to use your old saves with this update! There's gonna be some heavy debugging and it might turn out ever-so-slightly janky, but I've taken care to make sure that all your old saves will still work!
(Or, if you don't wanna deal with the ever-so-slight jank, you could always use the new in-game chapter select too! This update is actually the big reason why I wanted to prioritize that!)
Lemme know what you guys think!! Of course, all this is still in development so plenty of stuff might end up getting tweaked or changed before release! Also look forward to more info coming your way very soon!
