v0.8 (2022-12-06) — variable squad sizes


small update technically-speaking this time around, but perhaps with a bigger gameplay impact. I’ve reworked a lot of the implementation to organize the enemy into squads that can vary in size (no longer just 3 normal enemies or 1 boss. Without spoiling the surprise I’ll simply say that I’m fairly sure the “one big guy” strategy will not be able to defeat the final wave this time around!

I’m going to mess around with more interesting enemy squads in the near future to make the battles feel more dynamic and less like you are just crunching through hordes of weaklings.

  • jazzed up the defeat animation
  • some abilities will no longer be offered if at least one team member already has it
  • enemy team structured is reworked and rebalanced

Great update, managed to get a team going this time and took down the new final wave. I'm ashamed to say it but it took me a long time to realize that the attack stat made the healers more effective LMAO

thanks Bel! I’ve been thinking that I need to convey stat changes a little more clearly, especially in nonstandard cases (e.g. when sturdy is fired, healing), this is good confirmation.
