Game balancing

May 24th, 2005 Posted in general

Today I finished all the “regular” avatars special attacks!! woowooo
There are a total of 20 different avatars each one with his special attack, so wasn’t easy. I had also to balance them, and probably isn’t done yet: will take several test matches before I’ll be able to say “ok, the Air avatars have the Unicorn which is very powerful but the other ones are weaker than…” and so on.
I also hired someone to work on my other game USM2, which I hope to finish by end of summer (just in time for next soccer season)!
