Alpha v0.1.4 Released
This week, I've implemented a hover-over highlighting/lowlighting system to make encounters more clear. You should now be able to see exactly where your foes intend to move, and who they intend to attack.
It's been fun designing cards now that I've fleshed out their coding a bit -- hopefully Cricket and Crow will catch up in card count to the other characters soon.
Changelog
v0.1.3 -> v0.1.4
Bug Fixes
- Fixed behaviour of cards that simultaneously retreat and pull.
- Fixed discard cards not being able to discard the last card in a hand.
- Fixed target indicator arrow not rotating with camera.
Clarity
- You can now hover over a unit to highlight all units that are targeting it,
or what it is targeting.
- You can now hover over an enemy movement circle to see which unit will move to it.
- Hovering over a player unit shows where it can move in one card play.
- Hovering over an enemy unit shows which tiles it can attack.
- Difficult terrain now has a different movement preview icon.
- Attack range preview icons now have a different shape from movement preview icons.
- Enemy intent icons no longer indicate a buff if they're actually self-debuffing.
- Hover-over previews for drawn cards now stack horizontally rather than vertically.
- Rewrote many enemies' end-of-run flavour text from hovering on the "enemies defeated" tiles.
- Cards that are modified by other cards now pop up briefly, similar to cards that get overheated.
- Cards drawn by other cards now appear in the battle log.
Gameplay
- You can now play many lunge/retreat cards on the floor just for their movement effect.
Cards that still require targets will specify that they require a target.
- Reduced several enemies' movement speeds to make out-ranging them a viable strategy.
Quality of Life
- Removed "% done" text from character select. I probably wasn't going to be updating that.
- Moved slow-mo/fast-forward buttons next to the pause button.
- Added clickable buttons for camera rotation.
- Added hover-over messages on the above buttons that list the equivalent keyboard button.|
- Minor performance improvements.
Cards
