Stumbled upon a spreadsheet that goes over literally all the values that would've helped me make the battle mode fair and balanced ages ago.
Good news is that now there's a likely chance that I'll make sensibly balanced enemies, and maybe even get the player skills in the same boat. Bad news is that this is not helping me escape the "clueless idiot" allegations.
Still gonna be awhile until any of it is playable and presentable.

1Suppose it's rude to come back doing polls without showing some sort of progress for it.
Still deciding if it's worth committing to a full rebuild, but I at least figured out a better way to handle the party swapping mechanic.
I might be having too much fun with this process...
Still have to address a few tweaks to layering and test some other sidequests, but I think that we're back on track again.
How about we change things up?
So, Plan B: The remainder of tonight will run V1 of a solo OCN mode, with an updated version coming tomorrow during the end of the con.
(And a further refined public release of this later on. If there's interest.)
Turns out what the game actually needed was for me to take a proper break from development and enough time to realize what I had broken.
(It was the values tied to IDing what foe it'd be.)
It'll likely need more testing, but we're back in buisiness!
Figured it out.
First signs of danger.
