While working towards the Kickstarter release I work further on the game demo and share the demo with play-testors for further feedback. I'm excited to announce I've received a great deal of feedback from a fellow tactics fan!

Updates coming that are completed:

• Updated language to better emphasize that the game is a one player, narrative driven game with dark lore.
• Updated Damage formula to Math.max(1, Math.floor(0.5*(3*a.atk - 2*b.def))) to better account for damage variation
• Removed a bug where damage could be slightly varried from the battle preview.

Needed updates:

• Update CapMons to better fit art
• redraw cursor, arrows, state icons (E for not active, X for stunned, A for automatic).
• A battle log is needed to help keep track of battle
• Countering enemies attack first if their speed is higher, this is a bit too punishing.
• Poison needs to be reinstated, I will be working on this bug
• Stats will be reworked to allow for higher HP pools and more consistent damage between the rarities.
• Battle Prep stage is being slightly expanded to allow for more choice as to where to put your CapMons.
• After further thinking, I will be updating both the range and "attack shape" to allow for a more strategic approach to battling. Why can't some CapMons attack in an x pattern? A straight line? The regular 4 directions is boring and it'll make players decide exactly why to play some CapMons over the others
• States such as drain and blind have been pointed out as either weak or inconsistent, something I will be addressing.
