Instanced loot and more loot filter options

Nienix: Cosmic Warfare - holm.computing

Version 1.0418

🎯 [Loot filter] You can now designate item types that always should be enabled in the loot filter, regardless of the other loot filter settings. You can accomplish this by right-clicking an item type in the item view of a loot filter. Always enabled loot will have a green border.
🎯 [Instanced loot] It is now possible to designate loot as instanced. The following options are available:
🎯🎯 Free for all: Each loot drop is free for anyone to pick up. (This setting is what was previously available).
🎯🎯 Distance: Each loot drop is locked to a randomly selected player that is located in the sector. Player loot filters are considered for this evaluation.
🎯🎯 Locked: Each loot drop is locked to a randomly selected player regardless of where the player is located. Player loot filters are considered for this evaluation.
The variant called "Distance" is the default value. This can be changed in the Loot section of the main menu options. Item locks are removed once the item has been picked up.
🎯 [UI] Damage over time values are now prefixed when necessary in item tooltips.
🎯 [Balance] The "auto" difficulty has been reworked as follows:
🎯🎯 1 player: normal
🎯🎯 2-3 players: hard (previously normal)
🎯🎯 4-5 players: nightmare
🎯🎯 6 players: insane
🎯 [Bug fix] Resetting skills now correctly disables all items that have skill dependencies.
🎯 [Bug fix] Updated some incorrect skill descriptions.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed a race condition when evaluating player buffs and debuffs that could cause a crash.

Devlog #24 Managing the resistance fighters

Slaves of Magic - slaveofmagicthegame

Hello everyone!

This month, I'm here to talk about the heart of the resistance. The resistance fighters! They are the player's most important pieces as controlling them is the main way the player interacts with the tactical layer. But before we get to that, let's start with some eye candy!
Northern region

The northern region map generation has been completed. In the upcoming demo, the temperate and the northern region will be accessible for missions. A few examples of how it looks:

Recruiting units

The resistance can recruit new units in the recruitment tab for gold. The available recruits will be cycled monthly, and the amount of them depends on the resistance monthly soldiers tab (top left on the next picture).

Not all soldiers are created equally. There are positive and negative traits a soldier can have, and that can affect their various statistics. Building training facilities in the resistance bases can improve the monthly soldier rate, giving the player a bigger pool of units to choose from, plus every facility increases the freshly recruited soldier level by one.

Leveling up

All soldiers at level one will start with access to 1 skill slot and will gain one every level up till they reach the max skill slot number of 6. The skills will be freely swappable at any time outside combat. There are no classes so every soldier will be able to access any skill the resistance has access to, leading to a high amount of possible skill combinations. There are 2 restrictions though:

Every skill belongs to an attribute, for example, sword-wielding. On any unit skill bar, there can be skills from 3 different attributes.
There are very powerful elite skills, which have a golden border. Every unit skill bar can only have 1 elite skill.

Besides getting access to more skills, the level-up increases a unit's melee attack and melee defense of a unit by 5, making them more consistent.

Experience is earned on the battlefield. The amount of experience earned will depend on the invader's unit amount and level, plus there will be a bonus if the mission has been successful.

How to learn new skills

The resistance has access to different attributes depending on their bases location. Every region has attributes that belong to that region. If the resistance wants to use skills of that attribute, they will need to build a base in a region that has that attribute. In practice, that means the player will going to have to consider this aspect as well when choosing base locations. Choosing one can mean losing access to another.

Research has a big impact on the availability of skills as well. There are 3 levels of understanding for a given attribute. Researching a higher level will unlock stronger skills belonging to a given attribute. Neglecting research will lead to slower skill accumulation.

The plan is to have 11 attributes in the game, 5 for the weapons, 3 non-magical, and 3 for magical late-game attributes with at-least 6 skills each. This should provide plenty of combinations for replayability.

Closing thoughts

So that's it for today's devlog! Some general information is that we are getting very close to our new demo. It is nearly feature complete, it just needs a bit more time for polish and general bug fixing. If you want to be among the first to know about its release, feel free to join our discord here.
