Sorta Important Poll: Instakills (or lack therof) in the Lair
Okay, so this is a bit of an odd thing I've stumbled upon.
It looks like player-based instakill attacks (Unscrew 1, 2 and Esc Key) aren't actually supposed to work at all in the Geist Lair in the original.
Do I return this feature and disable player instakills, or do I keep it active and lower the chance of success?
---
Option 1: Make Geist Lair an instakill-free zone
Option 2: Let instakills still be (slightly) viable in the Geist Lair
I might be having too much fun with this process...
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!
New look, new direction.
This whole "making a new battle frame" situation does give me an excuse to add some things I had been putting off for far too long.
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.
Figured it out.
Pretty safe to say that Possy will be increasing the price of costumes to compensate for this recent development.
Suppose it's rude to come back doing polls without showing some sort of progress for it.
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.)
First signs of danger.
