Combat ------------- There are currently ~25 skills available - expect them to be tweaked/adjusted throughout development. +Skill Type: Passive - Some skills can only be triggered by meeting specific conditions, such as by getting struck +New Debuff: Burn - Deals periodic damage based on a % of your MAGIC DMG. Ignores DEFENSE mitigation. +New Debuff: Exposed - Removes 10% of DEFENSE from the next incoming attack, per stack.

Pathways ------------- +Updated Pathway UI. This should simplify visuals a bit! +Implementation of Character Abilities, starting with Hunter (this has its own window in Pathway UI). Characters -------------- +Boss - Den - the leader of the Den, content to settle down in the caverns. +Wolfpack Leader - Forest - a self proclaimed leader of a group of wolves, eager to level up. +Arson - Forest/Den - the magically attuned fire wolf, who gets a bit too worked up. +Rookie - Forest/Den - a budding apprentice, looking to show his worth. +Plant Wolf - Ancient Woods - the unhinged wolf, that may be a bit too obsessed with plants. +Locke - Ancient Woods - a skilled swordsman, tasked with resolving the 'plant situation'. +Wolven Guard - Den - the responsible wolf, who takes pride in training his wolves. +Carp - Den/Greyhaven - a dedicated craftsman, who pines badly for his place in the world. +Forge - Greyhaven - a stubborn artisan, who doesn't really have time for nonsense. +Swordwolf - Den - a really standoffish guy, that takes himself quite seriously. +Quill - Everywhere - the messenger bird, who always seems to find a way to say very little. Shops & Smiths ------------- +Production Resource - a resource system tied to Production Shops, unlocked at Carp's workshop in the Den. +Introduced 'Shops' into the game, where you can spend Ether or Production. +Implemented the entire Carp Production Questline, which is intended to be completed throughout Act 1. +Added Forge's Production area at the end of Carp's questline, which will store all future production quests. Optimization ------------- +STABILITY - a new image loading system - experimental, as it may cause some images to not load correctly. (note: if anything loads as a pure white background or border, you are experiencing an issue caused by this new system. please inform me if you see this!) +Plenty of behind the scenes bug fixes and efforts to optimize play. Balancing / Pacing ------------- +RECHARGE stat values gained should be higher to make up for the change to mana. +HEALTH regens after combat resolves (up to a maximum of 20 HEALTH). +The rate of TURN SPEED is now based on the number of active party members (solo party is 2x faster global turnspeed). Note: This might not be working on DoT effects, rip I ran out of time. +Moved the Physical Trainer unlock to the earlier stage of Carp's production quest (no longer requires progression on the sword questline). +Whirlwind has been nerfed. 20 -> 40 mana cost (rip whirlwind, you'll never make me stop using you) +Defense scaling moves have been doubled in effectiveness. This might have been too much of a buff. +Thrust now has targeting that makes sense. +Ether Arrow damage has been buffed. 100 -> 200% magic damage. +Removed the skip that bypasses unlocking Shade's questline, requiring initial discovery and exploration of the Den with Hunter. v0.2.6 ( ! ) - +10k words worth of new content!
