Happy Holidays everyone! Since I'm on vacation I could focus on developing more than usual, and I decided to use that time to...make the second class. This wasn't in my plans, but I haven't been making new content for so long that I honestly felt I needed to do this. Before I go on with explanations, there's a caveat: [b][u]the new class will be locked in the demo[/u][/b]. From now on I will split the game in two: the normal demo will still get updates (mostly bug fixes and improved functionalities), but [b][u]any new content will be locked behind the beta branch[/u][/b]. If you want to check the new class please[b] [url=https://discord.gg/nuc9nCkEgR]join my Discord server[/url][/b], where you will find the password to access the beta branch. Alternatively, I'm starting a [b][url=https://mailchi.mp/56d7b281bdfb/novusorbismailinglist]Mailing List[/url][/b], and you'll get the beta password on there too. Ideally, join both lol. That being said, I'm having a lot of fun! I'm happy with the sprite, and I'm VERY happy with how the mechanics are coming along. I won't explain anything, please try it out yourself and let me know if you understand it, and if you're enjoying it. For now the class has 23 new cards. All item cards will be shared between all classes. Some equipment cards are also shared, some aren't. The new mage class has its own starter blessing, and I introduced a system to have some blessings become class specific (right now only one is, Will to Fight, specific to the warrior class). Here is a list of new content introduced with the mage class: [b]New Cards:[/b] [b] Attack Cards:[/b] [list] [*] Discharge [*] Fire Arrow [*] Fire Ball [*] Lightning Bolt [*] Scorched Earth [*] Steam Jet [*] Storm [*] Wind Blades [/list] [b]Skill Cards:[/b] [list] [*] Aerodynamics [*] Concrete Barrier [*] Healing Dew [*] High Conductor [*] Ice Melt [*] Kindle [*] Levitate [*] Pure Water [*] Rock Wall [*] Stasis [*] Static Electricity [*] Supercharge [*] Vacuum [/list] [b]Equipment Cards:[/b] [list] [*] Missing Page [*] Rainbow Ring [/list] [b]Class Blessing:[/b] [list] [*] Open Mind [/list] [b]Misc:[/b] [list] [*] You can now have less than 5 cards (at your own risk), new limit set at 1. [/list] The class is far from finished, but this should give you a taste of how it is going to play! Please keep in mind that I still have some (a lot) of polishing to do. For example, the tutorial doesn't take into account the new class yet. But please, whatever bug or weird issue you find, let me know!
