Bardess 0.6prc (peer review candidate)

[deepshock]

Introducing Bardess version 0.6prc, marking one full year of development:

*Shade's Sprint UA replaced with Dash (a teleport of sorts)

*Burkhard's Mark UA targets enemies now, instead of choosing the closest one automatically.

*Speed system revamped. Recovery formulas streamlined.

*Unbreakable Stride now nullifies instant kill attacks without being consumed.

*Shade's Blinding Speed greater technique (learned at level 4) replaced with Bloodlust, which heals Shade whenever she deals damage for a limited time. It does not recover max hp.

*Unique Ability and Weapon tutorials (13 total) put into "events and challenges" mode. Walls, units and unit locations can be put in and modified easily, and non-randomly, by me as I create new events. I have 112 more planned for future minor versions.

*A more informative HUD. It now shows the weapon, armor, and unique ability of the unit in question. The longsheet ('L/l' key by default) now has weapon, armor, move recovery and attack recovery information.

As always, you can find it here.

Excellent to see this continuing---shooting for 0.7 for ARRP 2012 by any chance?   

[deepshock]

I can't promise, but I CAN try.

That's the spirit!    With luck it might even be .8 or higher that manifest by the time of the event~

Also, as per a perusal of the Roguebasin page, it strikes me as the sort of project that, perhaps further down the rabbit hole time-wise, could be well served by the Roguelike Incubator project that has started to rumble about just recently on here---check into it at your leisure and ponder I say.

I'll definitely play it when it's done .

[deepshock]

I'd have to make it open platform before it was incubator ready. That's my plan for the rest of this month and July. That'll warrant me making a pure ascii interface for it as an option.

Excellent, here's hoping this allows for a nice jolt to the system/nifty feedback on it as well as it probably being one that would definitely add to the variety/appeal of the bundle.
