Progress Report: Class Rework

Class Rework

I've wanted to rework the class system for a while now. The current system of "three moves per level" and "four levels" was rather rigid. I wanted a more dynamic system that would also make it possible to easily create smaller classes. So, while I was working on the petgirl class, I decided to just get it done.

The idea is that classes exist of different upgrades which are bought using point obtained from completing development goals. After completing a set amount of goals the character "levels up", but that only matters for uncursings and the dungeon difficulty required for goals. So with the goals you buy upgrades which give you the moves or stat boosts as before. This allows you to beeline certain moves and feel like you're growing faster.

And before I forget. The pet class is now added, it mostly works like the other cursed classes. But its weapon prevents her from wearing outfits and underwear.

As always, this system is completely moddable. Creating new classes, and changing existing ones, is as simple as changing text files.

Dollification Mod

I've heard that dollification is a somewhat common fetish, so wanted to use this channel to let people know that there's a very well-developed dollification mod for this game. You can find it in the Discord.

What's Next

Next week there's going to be a new public release, containing the curio and quest stuff.

Furthermore I'll start working on the actual swamp enemies. Currently the dungeons are available, but they only contain ratkin placeholder enemies. First are some slimegirls, since they should be quite simple to add while being busy with all the holiday stuff.
