I might start playing with the idea of making this a top down ngl
Cause like, sidescrolling doesn't feel like it'd work well with what I had in mind
Like, this was born with Terraria in mind, it works for that, but with what it's become it don't feel good enough anymore
But idk, nothin concrete yet

I've got the borders sorted out now
I ended up changing the mythical rare border to pink cause rainbow looked ugly AF. The bright pink really contrasts well with the other rarities which makes it stand out well in my opinion

And rainbow for mythical rare.
Also, I'm thinking of buying some play dough so I can better visualise poses and positions relative to where the camera would be so I can draw better
Hopefully it'll work and help solve my crippling drawing difficulties

New idea: rarities
Now, the border won't just be silver/grey, now it'll change depending on the rarity of the pulled card
Which will also decide how good a form or number is
AND adds to the gamble
I'm thinking brown/copper for common, grey/silver for rare, yellow/gold for super rare

Cryptumble
(Tempted to not give this one any animations except constantly spinning, could be funny)

Gravestoneko
(Btw this trio will be called the monarkitty, I don't make the rules)

While I'm speaking about him, actually, let's go over some lore!
His name's Nigel, he's a 35 year old divorcee with a child he doesn't visit and a violent gambling problem. He doesn't drink or smoke.

Thinking of redesigning the player character.
I based the original design off of terraria characters, and while it was a good starting point, I think I need to make something that's more me.
It doesn't feel like MY character rn, ngl

Now the issue becomes what to make the prevo 😭

Demoneko
(Another split Evo mfers!!)

Monsters and glued them on a pre animated brick. Sounds really interesting, but I have no intention of not only copying them, but also I can't fucking code that. I am buns at coding.

Now, despite all this, it seems really fucking cool and I wish I could do it, but I have to stick to reason.

PROBLEMS:

1. It would be really easy to make a unit with no weaknesses.

2. I shall not be making a perfectly functional sprite sheet for every possible combination. I don't know how cassette beasts did it, probably wrote a script that took key parts and colours based on the first and second-

In the beginning, I was planning on the joker card being some kinda mega evolution esque power up, but after making a couple of split evolutions I'm really toying with the idea of some kinda fusion concept.
Would work easily with the type chart, literally just add them together.

Okay, so I have to clean up the back of the cards (Ew) and I am also redesigning Heaveneko to give it a more non-human skin colour (dark blue maybe) and also i fucking forgot wings lmao

Perfect Composition

When one stat is raised, all other stats similarly raise, and vice versa

Also skill card thread now

Starberry

Toxinsect

Chromantis
(Thank god I got this down I almost forgot lmao)

Vantasack

Someone remind me to change the link in my bio that says where I got my PFP from it's just fucking wrong now

Corvutler

I really wish past me bothered to talk about what she was talking about cause I have no fucking clue what I'm supposed to do next in this fucking project, I full on forgot

Sludgiant

Sloop

I'm a tad afraid that this is a bit much, y'know? Like, I've got so many mechanics that aren't typical to a turn based RPG so player knowledge from those might not carry over.
I just don't know how I'm gonna explain all this without infodumping to the extent where no-one remembers important shit

I kinda wanna redo the back but idk what I'd do it into
Actually, I have an idea
But first I wanna do another idea, plus I have another I should really do

I was thinking the base evasion would be like 75?
Idrk I'm kinda making this up as I go along

I was actually thinking of adding an evasion stat
I was thinking of like, it goes up to 100, and interacts with accuracy
If an attack's accuracy equals or is higher than the target's evasion, it always hits
If it's lower, then the accuracy of the move is used as a percentage to calculate if it hits

"Hits all" hits every monster on the field, including the user, unless it also has the "cannot hit self" line, in which case it hits all other monsters on the field.
