Most weapons are pretty straightforward. Several of them (especially the bows and greatsword) have a medium amount of elemental magic abilities that scale on magic.
Is the debuff landing on the enemy at all? Like are they getting an icon of some sort on them? Cuz it could be bugged (ex. the spell doesn't actually apply it), I haven't tried it in a while, but it could just be that 5% is too small to make a difference earlygame.
There will be some dialog swaps, but entirely unique conversations for something a small % of players can see would detract from doing conversations most/all players can see, so I wouldn't expect a ton of them.
Maya and Ashley will definitely get some degree of content if you are a martial artist as well, though. I love writing fights and sparring matches, like Sam/Metatron, are a good opportunity.
Hey there! The idea was to have a somewhat mystical flavor without making it too punishing to use. Adding mana costs felt like it would make it awful. The base damage is fairly average (still better than shortbows, lol) but Tiger gets a nice form skill that really helps it spread Bleed everywhere, and traits to help it heal allies with every attack, so you deal decent scaling damage with solid utility for a weapon.
Mmm... all I can say for now without spoiling things is that you may get a chance to meet her down the road! Interesting theory though, she might have something to do with at least one party member's potential.
Ina is definitely excited to have a friend, even if she won't admit it (easily) lmao.
Alicia is Selendis's daughter and the final guaranteed party member.
The compromise comment is intentional. It's a reference to how no one gets everything they want from compromises; gallows humor on Selendis's part.
I know some of this stuff from a weird past with plenty of farm experience, but it's fun to look up some of it too! I research a lot of stuff to try to get ROUGHLY feasible content, tho obviously having magic and magitech gives me a lot of wiggle room. Always a good way to learn!
Sorry to hear that! ISP woes are awful, I wish we had more options where I live instead of exactly one.
MC is getting more confident (to a degree) as things progress, I can see him start to joke about it at some point, but also recognize the weight of trying not to break anyone's heart. Siofra, Ina, and soon Alicia are definitely going to drive that home - all are pretty aggressive about what they want.
That's a question I'm asking myself as well to a degree lol. I'd say we're about 1/3 through what I had planned that is actually reasonable to do, give or take a little. Not sure how things will work out in the end.
But the very rough idea was Hieroneiden arc (culminating in deepwoods, yea), hero's journey arc (culminating in Astrologia and finding out what's going wrong), and then an unnamed arc that culminates in the overall finale.
Rosalyn was one of the characters you run into in the second Deepwoods area. She appears every run and has several scenes. If you visit her after clearing all of the Deepwoods Heart content and followup (knights, Ina, Siofra joins) you can visit her to see the newest content.
I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech to text for writing, so despite beta testers helping me catch most of the issues, some slip through. Thanks for the report, will fix.
In the Cheat menu, you can alter the trust/affection gain rates, or directly add them. I actually get a lot of complaints that you get T/A too fast lol, so I figured I'd just let everyone adjust it to their own liking.
She's getting a decent amount here for sure, and going to get a major scene next time with her joint pseudo-date with Celica. I dunno if her actual Badon date will be there, after this update I would like to stay the fuck away from giant multi-month updates for a while lmao.
I love Sarah, she's a good girl, and a lot of fun to write.
Heyy nice dude! Glad you got them sorted, back when I played MGD I ended up modding in some cheat abilities so I could test my other content lol. Ultimately though, I just want people to have fun with DD, whether that be playing 'as designed' or in gigachad mode I don't mind at all. Glad you had fun modding and hope you enjoy your items!
Cryswar was inspired by a golem-esque enemy in a VERY old game. I thought they looked cool and sounded cool. All there really is to it LMAO.
There are a few mods on the discord, Redshirt is actually working on a very ambitious one that adds a shitload of new weapons, skills, and even mechanics. It's kinda wild actually. Dude's is really good at this. Not a huge modding community though, not sure if due to lack of info or wat
Nice, hope you enjoy! There's certainly a lot of writing lol, I wanted to make an adult game with real characters rather than porn, though as my first project there will be some scuff.
Haha, hey, Aspasia is there to cockroach her way through fights, it's not cheating to use the tools the game gives you.
I do think Metatron is usually better tho, also very tanky and can heal allies as well, or herself to be even tankier.
Anyways, yeah, I put WAY too much work into those chocies, it's always very gratifying to hear that people liked them! I'm personally such a carebaer that I tested them all for dev purposes but immediately went Shield on my playthrough, I just like being the good guy and making everyone happy. Mara felt like a dark mirror to the MC, both of them doing similar things for the same reasons, she just didn't have the support she needed to stay on the right path and we have an option to finally improve things.
Thanks for the error report, I'll see if I can track it down.
Hey there! The game is still in progress, depending on your reading speed there's maybe 30-40 hours of content if you do all of every girl's content? But it's far from done.
In the long term, yes, each character will have their own ending (and some harem endings). Bringing someone you like along on quests has unique dialogue for them as well, varying by character and mission.
Siofra uses the same scaling Smoulder that the player has access to. It's a damage race, since we haven't had any of those before I wanted to try something different. Thanks for the Epione report, will try to fix that.
It's a passion project, but supposed to be a business, so I have to think about that kinda thing. Even if I'm not very good at it lol. But I will try to make the wait worthwhile regardless!
Hey, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying the game!
It's always hard to get the exact right balance of dialogue and info dumps, sadly. I'd like to think I've gotten better at it over time, but ultimately that bar is different for everyone. I'll keep trying to improve regardless.
That combo sounds pretty fun! Nether and Aether are pathways to powers some deem unnatural (by the Jedi), and a lot of content for them, some upcoming. Abyss... that one will be expanded on over time for sure. Can't say too much now without spoiling it.
I may not be as fast or experienced or smart as I'd like, but I have enthusiasm and stubbornness, if it's survived 3 years hopefully it'll make it another 3 lol.
