V6.2 is here! First build in 2021! (Public)

 

Hope every had a good holiday and New Years. Here is my delayed Xmas present, an early public build! 

EDIT:

New Download LINK.

Updated to v6.21, fixed the following issues:

• fixed certain attacks not working (only plays animation but no effect)
• fixed push/pull cards not ending grab
• fixed card pool for Nera to be much smaller than intended (although the DEX card poll is still small)

This is a preparation build for the equipment and character progression system to come soon. One of the new features is card colors, which will have an impact on how the progression system works. What I don't want to do is having to create a card-only progression system where there are better and better cards like Strike, Strike II, Strike III and etc. Instead, character will have stats, like STR, DEX, CHA, etc and those stats will make card effects stronger. However, STR will only improve the effectiveness of red cards, DEX for green cards, and so on. 

You can also use the resting spots to remove a card from your deck to make it more lean and efficient. 

I also felt that the gameplay was a tad on the slower side so I want to make an effort to make it play out faster. So in this patch, you'll find characters have a significantly greater move speed and some animations were sped up. (More to come on that)

Changelog:

• added new feature that allows different prompts to be shown when interacting with dungeon objects
• added card removal option at rest spot
