Progress Report 45

Greetings. It's me.

The new passives and curses/blessings seem ready and stable (bugless). Right now, I am cleaning up code for the new components that different entities - characters and enemies - use, as well as making the UIs show these stats and update accordingly.

⚠️ TECHNICAL BELOW ⚠️

I was also trying to make each body part have an H-log like "Aster's W got X'd by Y in our Zth delve". Only after some time did I realize this would heavily bloat the save files. The more you play, the more it grows - it can add hundreds of lines from a single delve alone, so I doubt I will leave it like this.

At the moment, there are a few options I can think of:

• One half-measure is to save the logs in a separate file, but then players would have to deal with multiple files for a single save (if they want to touch them at all), which feels weird

• Another half-measure is to store the logs in a shorter format in the original save file, but this would still make saves less readable

• The last option is to finish the implementation I originally was making, using something simple like "X: Y times, first: in W, recent: in Z"

⚠️ TECHNICAL ABOVE ⚠️

So the question is: would you prefer H history that is more verbose, with timings and names, or simpler?

Next week I'm sure I'll finally finish all stat and "trait" related cleanup and will continue working on COOM. I'd also like to know how you want it to be. Not the liquid itself, but the, let's say, process. Just in case, I'm not going to make an animation for each and every action having any friction - at least not now. Right now, I have only one idea in mind: making b*kkake animations for "nowhere" and for Aster's body parts, and one inside animation for Aster's m*uth (for now). But if you have better ideas, please let me know.

That's all for today. Thank you for your support. Until next time!
