There are three sides to 7.0 of FP. All equally magnificent.
Please leave your comments with your thoughts on this, I'll gladly discuss this with you!
Skill system huge rewrite (in progress):
All skills are being in a (lengthy) process of being rewritten. They will now stop being tied to their user. They will also start using my elaborate file-reading-for-references-system.
This means... Well, it doesn't mean a whole lot from the player perspective, ASIDE FOR:
Spectator will now be able to, at runtime, copy and display seamlessly all of the skills of the currently spectated person, with lower effort from my side than ever before.
Once this Skill rework is finalized, I'll be able to, if I'd like to, create an entity with Dash, Cupcakes, Torreador and Stamina + Sprinting simultainously - in under a minute. Not like it really matters, but it's pretty exciting to think about.
Tasks system major rework (planned):
When a Task is completed by a single guard, it gets checked off for all the guards who have said Task.
Example: 2 players both have a Women's bathroom task. Once player 2 does the task, player 1 also gets the task checked off on his list.
Each Balance preset will now get a +1 to the Task count.
Meaning 'beginners' balance will now have 3 tasks, 'classic' balance will have 4, and 'hardcore' balance will have 5.
This change will finally give a reason for guards to talk to each other. Because from now on, what your partner got as a task, and what he plans to complete himself, matters also to you.
Win conditions will be edited to require atleast a third of start Nightguards to escape in order for them to win.
Chica major rework (done):
Max Cupcakes: 2 -> 8.
Cupcake damage: 20 -> 10.
12s cooldown between each Cupcake planting.
No more yellow edge detection vision - just a thick fog. This will make it notably more clear that Chica doesn't see past this distance.
Chica starts using a new 'notification' system, wherein all of the cupcake status updates will be displayed on the left-middle side of her screen.
Once the max cupcake count (8) is reached, using the skill again will replant the oldest (being planted for the longest) Cupcake to your current position.
Cupcakes now become independent Entities. Instead of instantly disappearing the moment Chica becomes disabled as up to now, each 3 minutes of their planted lifetime they check if Chica still exists. If she does, they renew their lifetime for another 3 minutes, if she doesn't, they unplant themselves.
This rework makes Chica way more new-player friendly, more up-to-date with the Transfer system, opens a lot of new room for strategies, and lastly also buffs her a notable bit. As this rework happened in this update, it is already fully integrated with the new Skill system, meaning Spectators see Chica's vision 1:1 as she does.
Bonnie major rework (planned):
Radar skill, instead of enabling wireframe, will now highlight with reddish silhouettes the positions of all Nightguards.
Radar cooldown will probably change, but it's not yet decided how.
Bonnie's base speed will be slightly lowered, and he will get a Stamina bar along with the ability to sprint.
Foxy nerf (done):
Dash cooldown: 3s -> 5s.
Some ending words, this is clearly HUGE. It is a blast for me to work on this now, although I'm essentially rewriting like half of the game lol. Hope to hear some feedback from yall!
