Being worked on:

New Battle System Prototype: -Finally comfortable enough to say we have finally decided the loop of our new combat system. All implemented, and working well. But since it is a massive change in one of our big game mechanics it has it’s difficulties. The combat system finally makes the game a real RPG, because it comes with all those stats and attributes. I’m planning on writing a whole guide on how the new combat system works but before that big guide I can mention the implemented mechanics. It is a turn based combat with movement basically, and we wanted to keep the “Tempo” of the fight with less complicated interface. There is attack power, hit chance, critical hits and dodges, blocks like every other turn based RPGs but we also added a Mood System where certain events affect the moods of characters. They work like buffs/debuffs but slightly different. Hitting an enemy with a few succesful strikes, taunting them, mocking them or missing your attack will have direct effect on your mood. Now we’re busy with finishing up the combat system but we won’t stop adding new content like quests, scenes etc. If you’d like to have more information about the coming updates you can check our our discord server.

(It is hard to post gifs here on itch.io, above gifs are uploaded in deviantart but we don't post visuals from combat system to deviantart. They are posted on our Discord server. )

New gym: Destor will be able to train his attributes in the gym. This will require Sandsworth energy only. So it is another challenge to manage your energy and days, it will be hard to fight, work and train in the same day. Stats will effect the way Destor wears armor, weapons and the damage as well.
