I managed to get this update finished, but it took quite a bit out of me. There's nothing insanely complex in this part, but I might need to take two weeks to release the finished Gathering publicly. Tired.
I am sure that the conclusion of the second gathering will blow our minds. Perhaps you should take a break after this. You have more than earned your rest. Take care and don't burn yourself out.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm having a lot of fun working on the release, and I look forward to getting it out to everyone, but after that I may need a break, yes.
DeleteSo, is the balance finished or will it change later ?
DeleteI'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but the balance of 0.54.0 is definitely not final.
DeleteThank you for creating such a fun and addicting game, Keep up the good work, and rest well
ReplyDeleteOooh, going to look forward to seeing the new scene art so much :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's too late for suggestions for the first half of the gathering, but since Nalili's room seems a bit empty, why not have a line from Carina wishing she was here to show them around. Or something to that degree?
ReplyDeleteSorry I just always felt like the two's BFFness was adorable.
I try not to change balance on previous sections for the sake of ongoing saves, but it's never too late for flavor suggestions. It's a cute idea; I'll add it. ^-^
DeleteThanks SL, you da bes!

ReplyDeleteThis has already been reported and fixed. Please post bug reports for non-Public releases on the Patreon thread, especially when they contain spoilers.
DeleteDeleted the comment because of the spoiler, sorry for the trouble. I have posted elsewhere before and was told to post here for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSo far the fight with "Dio" seems kinda easy. Any thoughts for adding a time or turn limit? After all, keeping them binded indefinitely makes little to no sense.
ReplyDeleteThe difficulty with fight balance is making the fights interesting for optimized players while still winnable to weaker parties. Unfortunately, time limits would be most punishing for those weaker parties. Version 0.54.1 will have a tweaked version of the boss, trying to make it more complex without cranking his main stats.
DeleteMight be a little late to point this out, but I just realized there was an orc breeding competition and Balia didn't get to use The Almighty Orcsphere™️.
ReplyDeleteI can only assume the competition realized immediately how thrashed they would have gotten if Balia got to use it, and so they appealed to their respective Incubus Kings to lobby hard during the first day to get it banned from regulation.
Simon relented and accepted their demands to keep things civil and preserve some competitiveness, but we all know that outside of a sportive environment, performance-enhancing tower artifacts would take orc breeding to a whole new level.
Oh dear... I'm a bit scattered these days, so I can believe that I forgot that artifact at one of the main points I intended it to have a use, but I'm surprised no one else thought of it before now.
DeleteThis is an oversight, and a serious one. Expect it to be fixed in the upcoming version, hopefully!
I though it was just a passive buff, I didn't think you wouldd have forgotten it. Cool, we can re-watch Balia trash-talking Lusty again!!! XD
