THE LAST WALL Update 2
Since it's not serious to have more than 3 unfinished projects, I recently reworked on this one just after updating the SLUMS, and oh boy that was hard to get back to it.
So this update mostly focus on : core mechanics refinement, creation of a new (FURY™) system who spice up the thing a little, creation of a new rewarding and ranking system, creation of an "editing" mode, a ton of UI improvement, knights implementation finalization, optimization, and of course your dose of dopamine. Here we go for the changelog :
The intro slightly changed, with a little extra added to it.
FURY system
The FURY system is a tentative to bring to the game a dynamic system who constantly scale on the player performance to give him a perpetual challenge and rewarding experience while (trying to) auto balance the game, cause I'm too lazy to do math.
It is also made to not have to design a new mob with only +1HP x times. This mean I can now focus on creating new mobs archetype and letting the FURY system scale their lethality
HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The game constantly keep track of your total DPS and the system will increase the FURY LVL by a specific number, and increase the mob lethality and earned gold by a certain %. Buying some S tier upgrades can also pump up the FURY, so be careful. Rebuilding walls and pushing the enemy further decrease the FURY LVL by 3.
I will certainly had more depth to the system in the future.
The brand new UI, new skills and FURY system.
FULL CHANGE LIST :
- Now you will gain a rank and a gold bonus (a fair amount) according to how many damage has been taken during the last wave (showed at the end). Ranking from S+, S, A+, A, B, C and D. The ranking system take FURY into consideration, that's mean you will loose the same score if 2 exact ennemy of different LVL hit you, and the FURY gold mutiplier also apply on earned gold. Gold amount increased each wave.
- You can now edit the position of the units in the battlefield
- You can now press P for PAUSE
- Each wave now have a beginning, a middle, and an end (that wasn't the case before, apart from the start and game over)
