Legends of the Awakened (version a1.5)


Lots of small but important changes in this latest version. Many thanks to someone I only know as Yee, who took the time to playtest and offer some great feedback. Most of the changes in this update are a direct result of Yee's input!

  • XP bar after combat fills much faster than before.
  • The TurnOrder display now updates after characters take their turns and when a character dies.
  • Enemy hit damage text changed from black to red to make it easier to see.
  • Improvements to cursor affordance.
  • In the overworld, the player character can be moved by holding the left-mouse button instead of clik-to-move.
  • Transition from overworld into battle is now different than transition to a different overworld zone.
  • Characters will no longer try to counter attack a foe who dies to a damage shield.
  • Some PC Spells / Abilities have been moved around / improved.
  • Changes made to lighting / shadows / detail draw distance that should improve performance in the overworld.

Still much to be done, but these and a few other changes are steps in the right direction.

If you download and play the latest version, be sure and let me know what you think. Feedback drives improvements!

Your feedback has been a great help. [Lightning I] was upgraded, renamed to Thunderbolt, and added to Lance with a new casting animation. I probably made some other small tweaks, but no major balance changes yet. 

I will probably be working on enemy AI next. I have lots of ideas here that will take some time to implement. Generally speaking, I want to have certain archetypes, like a healer that casts his heal spell only when his allies are at low health, or a strategist that always attacks the lowest HP party member ... stuff like that. The Fire Dragon actually has some of that now. He changes tactics when his hp falls below 75% and again when he's below 50%. More of that stuff to come. 

Thanks again for your help and support. It means a lot.
