Developer Log #36: Giving of Thanks

Hello there! It's been a long week since I took a break. I decided to be a day early for this developer log, since it's a nice event and convenient for me as well.

But, since it is a break, I haven't worked as much.  Slice of Them was not even touched. It just needed a break. However, I'm ready to get back into production for this project. I've received about 30 views and about 20 downloads, all with their necessary feedback and bugs. If you want to try it out too, it's free to download, because it's so far a demo.

As specified, from about... 4 dev logs ago? The main problems I've wanted to fix, and in the specific order, are:

1. Combat and Skill Revamp, Balance, and Lore
2. Character and Kingdom Lore and Story Deepening
3. Training, Point distribution, and balancing
4. Music, Sound Effects, and flow.

I am going to plan on working with the first, because... the bottle of wind was a LOT  more overpowered than I expected. I also received many complaints about the game being a bit too easy. While I did aim for the game to provide a few ways to stylize how you play, it ended up just being "one-hit your enemy first before they one-hit you." 

I wanted to focus on different ways to play, especially with synergies, upgrades, and skill diversity. However, most of it has turned into what I specified above. So, I'll plan to revamp skills, the training sessions, and combat. 

I think from what I get so far... I will focus on making the EXP system fair for each skill, alongside actually adding a bar that lets you increase said stat by a specific amount. I also plan to redesign a few skills and make them better in some cases.

I also plan to continue polishing within the week. This may take about a month, but this is something that will take a lot longer than expected, because I also plan to begin a possible new project and start learning something new.
