You may suggest I not rebase my branch while Unity is open... But I am not listening.

Wishlist my game before I break it:

I think I would prefer to play Elden Ring with a randomizer mod. Something about not making my own character and a non-canon parallel universe disappoints me.

Iโ€™m sure it will be fun but it feels a bit trendy. Maybe they will make it their own and Iโ€™ll eat my words

Yeah I do that with the player hurtbox too. It can also be good to think of where the characterโ€™s โ€œcenter of massโ€ is.

Iโ€™m surprised you never got flak from analyzing music. I could state 2+2 = 4 and still get hate for it. More people will comment if they disagree which often makes comment sections so negative

While my favorite, I think every medium has something unique to offer. The restrictions of each medium can breed so much creativity and restricting the player, viewer, reader, listener, etc can create artworks as beautiful as games.

I feel like ability descriptions just keep getting longer and longer. A bit of design creep in order to ensure things feel "unique" and is thorough enough to allow min-maxing. There's such an avoidance to under-explain but I generally prefer the confusing mess of BB's UI to paragraphs of text.

Astrea: Six Sided Oracles is quite good. Itโ€™s like Slay the Spire with dice instead of cards!

From there I just have unity call a simulated input to Windows operating system which causes the spell to cast in the focused window (Elden Ring)

The main problem I ran into was sending inputs to my indie game and Elden Ring at the same time. I circumvented this by adding touch controls and casting the game to my ipad. The ipad then executed the code on my PC and was purely used for input

The Magus Circle was inspired by the idea of drawing spell sigils and Elden Ring is filled with them. They are a bit complicated compared to my game but I simplified the symbol into a set of points to compare your drawing to
