It's just another currency for gameplay purposes :)
Robbering houses=>gold
Exploring dungeons=>honor
I didn't want the dungeon items set to cost gold, otherwise players could just buy them with the normal gold. Besides would be strange for the guard to ask for help and then "pay us for the items!". Instead with honor I was more like "we trust you're good so we give you the best item sets since you won't waste it". Stuff like that. I think in a game I saw also the term "requisition" though I'm not much sure what it means :lol:

So these sets, are they like the coolest stuff in the game? Are they a chain of upgrades or of similar power but for different builds? Like a tanky set and an offensive set for Kira, etc.

Well not the coolest, the basic one is simply 3 healing potions :) are predefined sets you can carry that can work for different strategies. Are all usable items, so potions/bombs. However since usable items are SUPER-RARE, I guess we can say that are powerful items :)
Even in the normal robbery mission, you can carry only a limited amount of items with you, though in that case probably will allow more freedom. I'm not sure yet though, might just reuse same sets.

Oh, "item sets" made me think they were equipment. Never mind then :)

Well, week didn't go as planned :oops: however, it was because did some brainstorming/design/work on Cursed Lands, so I was still working on a RPG. Also there's a big heat wave here, I can work well only in the morning... :(

And we're barely even in June :D

I foresee an unproductive summer, barring a sudden reversal of the greenhouse effect.

Haha depends, last year here in July was crazy, rained 26 days out of 31! So I was productive as you remember (was doing act3 of SOTW).

Anyways, I've setup an office in the garage room downstairs :)

I went there today to check connectivity and desktop/chairs and I can do it. It's very fresh, in my office at 2nd floor of my house today was 26°C... in the garage 20°C instead! I can work :)
