Hey everyone! Survived a round of layoffs IRL. It shook me up, so progress slowed a bit, but not by much! Chapter 6 is all done, and it's one of the best ones yet. A huge turning point in the story, new victory/defeat conditions, and side objectives. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41588824/d42281e052500a5f3e3cc5847837bc1bef9400c5.gif[/img] We also added some new status effects for chapter 6: Burn and Poison. Burn: Lose 1 HP, doubling each turn until extinguished by standing still for one turn. Cannot block while burning. Unblockable status effect. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41588824/8b7de87ce511fb8eb9854e76f9cda073ba229f6b.gif[/img] Poison: Lose X HP at the start of each turn. Healing received reduced by half. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41588824/875b01382e583c4bc2ec601d4c4e3e1d46bd68e6.gif[/img] Burn is the first status effect that isn't blocked by shields, which I think will add a lot of variety to enemy attacks. Even if you have a unit with a tower shield, you still need to be careful about enemies that can inflict burn (torch carriers in Ch6 for example). I also saw a lot of people in their playthroughs keep trying to click enemies in range before selecting a tile to move to. This was also heavily requested in the feedback forms, so I've added it into the game! A simple QoL, but something I think a lot of people will use. I also made it so it will respect the path indiciator.
