Polishing Focus

Now that the game content is done, I am focusing a lot more on the polishing of the game. Testing the endings, the mechanics, checking on the visuals, and especially the writing. I may look into closed playtests as well to test my story and dialogue with the target audience.

Power Healing

My final main addition to the mechanics, the Power Healing. Normally, the Player heals 1 Health every 5 seconds. Nice, but also slow and very passive. It doesn't really promote action.

Enter Power Healing, every successful consecutive Action hit is counted and once you reach 5, the Player heals 1 HP. Both healing methods should coincide to some good healing, especially for later endgame encounters.

That's about it. It's not much but I am moreso keeping the ending and the final parts of the game hidden and not be spoiled.

There may be some more news I do in the next coming weeks as Summer heats up. This has been CraftedCircuitry, signing off for now.

Just doing a quick update to add an extra ending to the game! This special ending is a spinoff of an already existing ending, and counts the same as that ending when wanting to do the all the endings. Players won't have to do that extra ending. I've also done some tweaks to certain ending functions to make them feel a little better.
