Figured I'd make a little status thing 'cuz you all care so much. Nah seriously maybe you do... anyway.

It's taking a bit longer than I expected. I had no idea it would be this much work but the result is going to be seriously amazing. Like, brand new game amazing. I hope to be done by next Sunday.

I'm pretty sure the buffs we have now are simply going to be passive. I see little reason to keep it the way we have now... even though it is fairly balanced. Right now you have to manually cast Demonic Flesh in order to get its buff, which costs energy. I'm not entirely sure how I"ll handle it but I'm thinking all buffs will just be passive.

Progress
Attempting to bring new skills to PvE and then I'll have to translate them to MonBre's system. When I'm done: in theory, the new skill system will be in place, and players will notice absolutely no change.

When we go to evolve our monsters, that's when we'd get to pick new skills, right? Will they be attached to the different monster pictures like they used to give different stats, or just pick a skill and a picture?

But when that call never comes, it's time to face what you've become - there's no point doing all of this, unless you know you're having fun.

Personally I'd like the pick a skill and a picture method better.

They'd be tied to the type of evolution you have. One, it's simpler for me, but that's not a good reason to not code something. I think "dealing with" a monster picture that you don't really like is part of gaming a bit, for example choosing a better robe in WoW because it is better, but really it's ugly shit and you can't wait to find something better.

If there's enough people to whine about it, instead of changing it I will just draw cooler monsters.

lol sunday.

Whoooooey anyway so yeah this is like totally taking forever. No I don't regret it, because it's amazing, really. But yes I wish I had made the game correctly to begin with.

I hate to say it, but I might have to delay until Sunday because of the training center.
