Classes

Soldier:

Versatile warrior that uses direct attacks, blocks, and positioning to overcome enemies.

Ranged attacker that relies on healing and killing goblins before they can attack to survive.

Craftsman:

Equipped with a shotgun and repeating crossbow that needs to be reloaded. His equipment behaves differently depending on which card is used to activate it.

Once per round can change his stance to adapt to changes in the battle.

More to come. . .

Races

Pixie:

Loves the taste of goblins and can heal when he defeats them with his unique card.

Triceratops:

Tougher than most, his unique card provides him with protection and can take down an attacking enemy before they land their blow.

Sloth:

Only race that doesn't get movement gear. Starts off slow but can be customized to be one of the fastest characters.

SoulReaper:

Doesn't unlock any achievements, card, gear, or class upgrades. Instead absorbs the power of each goblin type. Can you defeat the finale with only starter cards and gear but buffed stats?

More to come. . .

Enemies

Goblin Spearman

Most common enemy. Higher health, damage, lowest speed.

Goblin Runner

Extremely fast and more likely to be able to move and attack the hero from beyond the hero's attack range. Starts out hitting like a wet noodle though.

Goblin Archer

Moves to range and attacks. Lowest health.

Goblin Champion

Extremely tough goblin that hits hard. Only goblin with damage resistance ignoring some damage from every hero attack. Immune to stun.

Finales

Dream Master

Cannot be directly engaged, summons swarms of goblins from out of range. Summons a goblin champion every time the hero strikes one down. Heroes are encouraged to use a build that can manage swarms of enemies using area of effect attacks.

LavaMan

Only takes a maximum of one damage per hit. Reduces the hero's health and maximum health by a rising amount each round. Heroes are encouraged to use a build that can deal multiple hits.

Illusionist

Vanishes at the start of his turn and when hit leaving behind a group of goblins. Only the first hit in a multi-hit attack will deal damage because of the vanishing. Heroes are encouraged to use a build with high mobility.

Spike

Retaliates against any attack with the same damage he took. On his turn hits players with the strength of the last hit against him. Punishes heroes with large damage, low health builds. Heroes are encouraged to use a build with good block or heal.

  Tutorial step-by-step, Run history

  Tutorial step-by-step, Run History v.8 Runs now have a score card that calculates a score and saves the run score and details. From the main menu you can look at your run history scores and major details. The tutorial button now shines until you have played it the first time. The tutorial now has optional screen pings for where to click. Dev note: This is the last of mechanics, content, and polish. I will do some balancing, but will otherwise be working on marketing between now and the Steam NextFest with plans to release the game soon afterwards.

  The great polishing begins!

  Polishing and a bit of bug fixes v.7 When an enemy is taking their turn a large indicator of the type of action and strength of that action show beneath that figure. Added the floating numbers for all status effects changes. Fixed a bug with ingots not resetting at the start of a level. There is a gash animation when the player takes a hit. Added a glow behind the achievement popup. A circular VFX appears behind the player when they get an achievement, pretty subtle. Added a scoring system and score card that appears whenever a run is ended (victory or defeat). Plan to create a tracking system so the player can see how well they are doing with each set of class/race/boss. Added some screen particle to the upgrade card/gear scene.

  Content complete for release

  Two new races, one new class, bringing the total to four each! v.5 I've decided that four of each run factor (class, race, finale) will be considered feature complete for the launch. I might add more if any particular idea strikes my fancy, but I am not actively going to dedicate brainstorming time to consider new factors. Added the fourth boss, Spike. Spike retaliates with however much damage he took. On his turn he strikes the player for the last amount he took. He is in a small arena. All cards have SFX. All gear has SFX. All bosses now have SFX. Each map type now has "unique" background music. Changes some of the SFX to be less annoying. -Movement is only two steps instead of four. -Flute is changed. -Select sound is softer. Added a camera damage shake when the player takes damage. The velocity of the shake depends on how much damage the player took. Added VFX to enemy death along with a death yelp. The enemy fades out under the VFX. Fixed a bug with wands where they were not resetting to base damage each time they were used. Created floating damage numbers above enemies when they take damage. At the moment only the first hit registers, but I have a plan for how to fix (will detach and instantiate a damage "scene" for each hit). Have plans to add floating number for the player when they take damage, add block, heal, add move, etc. Plan to adjust the target selection so that the game works properly on touch screen instead of needing to drag the cursor. From now until Steam Next Fest in Feb, I plan on working solely on polish, fixes, and balance. And relaxing a bit for the holidays!
