Version 0.0.287
Sopho » Devlog
This update focuses heavily on UI cleanup, battle improvements, and a few new gameplay systems.
UI Changes
- The action panel has been removed and replaced with the title bar at the top of the game screen, making the UI look 20% less fugly.
- Status, Inventory, Equipment, Craft, Skill, Magic, Help, and Wait have been moved to the title bar. They’re kinda important.
- The calendar and current room have also been moved to the title bar, giving the center panel more space.
- The music menu on the bottom right of the screen now lets you pause the game and adjust the volume.
- Current party members are now visible in the NPC panel, so you can actually talk to the people standing right next to Zenas.
- Needs are now shown on the party panel as six buttons that change color based on how high each need is. They turn yellow at 50% and red at 90%.
Interaction Changes
- Talk, Take, and Play now work through clicking in the NPC panel.
- Talk is done by clicking NPCs.
- Play is done by clicking the icon next to playable items, or by clicking the bored button in the party panel.
- Take now appears next to items in the current room that can be picked up.
Battle Changes
- Certain spells can now hit as AoE attacks.
- The battle log now gives more detailed information during combat.
- Battles now use 2 minutes per round instead of 1 minute per turn for each player and enemy.
- Sneak and Sneak Attack have been added to the game. Faxan starts with both.
- To use Sneak Attack, the player must first use Sneak and then have no action performed on them for that turn, not even a positive one.
- On the following turn, Sneak Attack can be used to land a powerful critical hit on a single enemy.
- Classes have been added to the game. Each normal enemy now belongs to one of these classes, while bosses still follow their own unique rules.
Character and Need Changes
- Each party member’s needs now rise at different speeds, making them feel more dynamic.
- Zenas can now nap whenever he or any party member is above 25 tired. They’re still going to complain about it, though.
World and Job Changes
- The Caretaker Association now offers a job every Sunday from 4 PM to 8 PM.
Fixes
- The radio should no longer turn off and on whenever it feels like it.
