What's New
Finished getting everything working under the new design. Still a little busy, so I didn't get to much time to polish. Though I did get a couple systems completed.
Got potions and food system working and pretty much finished. I have 5 other potions planned but they require another system I haven't started yet. Both use the identifying system. Food are more than just to stop from starving. Food can heal (less than potions can), but some grant xp. Some can be deadly just like potions. One of the potions is designed to make the indentify system more of a constant threat. Amnesia can make the player very forgetful.
What's Next
To finish up the potions, I'm diving straight into a simple status system. It's basically just for over time effects. It'll work just by keeping track of healing/damage , hunger effects per turn and for how many turns it should persist. Poison will cause over time damage instead of instant. Maybe healing potions could actually be done over time. The system will also handle simpler states that stay active for an amount of time. a potion could give strength and make the player do more damage for a couple turns... etc.
enjoy, and code along.
