Ahem...

Yes, looks very promising. Though I will force myself to give you the time necessary...

One question though: All the figures have a counter on a blue background to the lower left of the portrait. Is this an effect of the battlefield?

Yes exactly, in the video the effect is "Cold". I am thinking to simply remove the counter in that case (for practical reason I just assigned them an effect with 99 duration, though I guess I can skip displaying the text in that case since is permanent).
So far I've also never used the turn limit, but could have it later in the game (win the battle before turn X, or more realistically, kill specific enemy in X turns).

So how is the game going to be distributed? Are we going to be able to buy the seasons separately?

No no, you buy it all at once. But I'll finish each season separately so for THOSE WHO WANTS to play/test early, they can play as soon as possible. But you can just wait and buy the final game once is finished of course :)

Is it possible that you could remove the "EMPTY" in the battlefield boxes that aren't occupied? I think that looks rather distracting.

I've coded 2 sidequests, now will do the third and then finish up the main plot. As said before, since you play only 3 characters and there aren't romance dialogues, doesn't make sense to make this season very long. Besides if you play to grind, could last already 2-3hours :mrgreen:
Rather happy also about the grinding mechanism. If you play at Easy level you can just go home and fast-skip the days, since you'll win the next battles anyway. In Hard mode instead you need to do the best every day to gain XP with the various semi-random encounters, otherwise you can't win in the toughest battles (like the Huge Kodiak one).

moved a quest that takes place in an underground catacomb to the 3rd Season, since as said in the past doesn't make sense to add a lot of content on the first Season because you control only 3 characters in it. To compensae, I still added a smaller one written by me, so don't worry the texts will be checked/proofread in the final game :wink:

We already knew the first season takes place in and around Ninin. Now we know the third season takes place there as well. Soon the whole plot will be spoilered ;-) :twisted:

But from what the captain said, it might fit better into the third season. A Necromancer is not what is the average entry-level enemy looks like... more like a boss for the experienced party.
so don't worry the texts will be checked/proofread in the final game :wink:
Don't worry, proofreading will be our job ;-)

Actually no, the 3rd Season doesn't take place there :) but the quest was generic enough that I can change a few characters and will also work in that... "other place" :wink:
And the necromancer is actually the replacement quest I just wrote (is a minor necromancer obviously). They're sidequests, so NOT NECESSARY to do them, but I want to leave there as challenge, in particular Hard/Nightmare mode. In Easy mode the word challenge has no meaning :lol:
