Lets talk about combat PART 3 (Patreon)

And round 3 of combat! Again we begin with another Tarot card, this time it's the Wheel of Fortune! Featuring the mischievous cat girl Cheshire. It was a lot of fun to draw her after so many years. I'm sure a few of you still remember my brief Alice In! comic. There's definitely plans for that cast of characters. But anyways onto some WIPS of other aspects.Goddess Statues: Goddess Statues are a new element to Project Red. The area you're seeing above is still unfinished but you can think of it like a little rest spot. You'll have fast travel mirrors, camp fires to rest or cook at and the statue itself which is how you can access the new Skill Tree.Skill Tree: Offer a prayer to the Goddess and Red will be able to spend SP on skills thought lost to time. SP will be awarded with every level up Red gets. Completing side quests will be another method to gain SP. The skill tree itself is also in an unfinished state. I 'm not sold yet on how I want the navigation to work but it's playable for now.

Exploits: Next there's some in game screen shots of combat. Newly added is a turn order window at the top of the screen so you'll always know whose turn is next. And of course the Exploit system. On top of certain enemies being made up of multiple body parts, enemies will also be exploitable. Hit them with a critical strike or take advantage of a weakness to gain a free follow up turn in combat. Of course there's no way to know just what an enemy will be weak to until you experiment, so go out there and try out all sorts of strategies.Patreon Exclusive Demo: And lastly I'd like to announce a special upcoming benefit for patrons. A special playable teaser. Once I've cleaned up these new maps (and a few more I haven't shown) I'll be posting a short little teaser of Chapter 3. You'll be able to play from the moment Red wakes up, all the way through to just before you reach the Merchant Camp. You'll get to hear new voiced lines, and experiment with the new combat systems and level layout. I don't have a hard date planned for this, but it will release this month for sure. I'd like to include Looking Glass Land, The Forgotten Maiden and a few more enemies as well though. So look forward to more updates related to these things in the near future! Thanks as always for your continued to support, and I hope you look forward to what's coming next!
