Hello! I know I been quiet this month and well, thats because I was really focused on getting to feature parity with the new grid-card combat system. Well... I almost did it, everything works(TM) except for 3 things.
The things that are not working in this build are:
- The "Correctional" free-play mode, because I don't have the hotbar anymore and need another way for the player to engage in grabs.
- The grab selection menu (right now grabs are picked randomly) because undecided if I want to re-use the old selection menu or do something with cards to be more uniform with how rest of the UI works.
- Devices and carries, because they are not utilized very often yet and haven't got time to do it.
Everything else should just work(TM) tho, so give it a try and let me know what you think.
In addition to various bugfixes, I also introduced two new features:
The first is an "Encore" special effect when an "Attack" is used on a grabbed enemy. This causes the ally that is grabbing the enemy to resume their grab and make grab progress (deals lust damage and so on.) I noticed that when you are trying to finish off enemies with grabs, often the rest of your party doesn't get anything to do and is just standing there fiddling their thumbs. Now everybody gets to participate, even when there's no room to join in the grab. (You can still join in the grab with a "Grab" effect when there are valid threesome+ grab positions to use)
Here is how it looks in action: https://twitter.com/Enlit3D/status/1332962726092554240
The second feature is the "Automatic grab joining when attacking on downed enemy." I'll be honest, this is primarily motivated by AI considerations. Because the AI does not pick their action/card in any intelligent manner, if this feature doesnt exist, then "interesting" things can only happen when the AI draws a "Grab" card randomly. Obviously, that is less fun. So this is a feature to make those "interesting" things occur more often.
