Rigel is very popular, judging from my Steam stats :)

Anyway, if I hit 'cancel' when asked to not show the tutorial, before the fight begins I get this image:

Is it a scaling issue that causes those arrows to point to all kinds of directions? Also, there are no invisible units on that screen when the fight begins.

Third slot on the enemy's team has an invisible unit. You don't see it?

I got caught up in Final Fantasy X again, now that it's out on PC, but I'll try to at least do the rewrite of the card texts soon(ish), even if I don't get much testing done right at the moment.
jack1974
Thanks :) I will probably release H&G at end of month and keep this one in beta for the first week of June (I think).

Strange things still happen with Time Bomb.



It did work a few times, then this happened when I ended the turn without doing anything else.

Death Mark lasts forever, not until end of turn.
jack1974
Thanks will check those issues!
jack1974
For the Time Bomb, it's better to change it I think, since it's too messy. For death mark, actually ALL the abilities that were boosting health didn't work even before (the health boost remained unchanged!! :lol:)
jack1974
OK I think the health boost issues should be fixed. For the Time Bomb instead I think it's too bugged, I had that crash too and I can't figure it out why happens :(

edit: maybe now works, had to tell the ability to check the target card is alive (otherwise would try to kill / remove twice a card that was already killed!)
Franka
I made a small experiment. First screenshot is how long it took for the AI to play all its 20 cards with AI resources set to minimum (1/1). Second screenshot is how long it took for the AI to play all its 20 cards with AI resources set to maximum (5/5). Same AI deck (Robobrains).



There's something wrong here.

Also, is there any reason why we always play as Diana in Quick Play, or was that just convenient?
jack1974
Ugh yes, that doesn't look OK :( I need to find out what's going on with the summon...

As for Diana I guess is the default character, so yeah it was just convenient :)
jack1974
OK well the summon is simple: the AI will always summon 1 card :lol: so if has high resource can summon/play a more expensive card, but otherwise, it will still play just one.

I am going to leave as it is for two reasons:

1) after messing up a bit, I have no clue how to change this, so I should ask Anima and I think he's currently busy

2) even if I successfully change this, all the campaign battles would change (be MUCH harder). And doing this now would be suicide since they are all tested and well balanced already
Franka
You should probably just remove the resource sliders then, and just decide on a standard. For what it's worth, the AI doesn't even seem to play the "strongest" cards until late in the game, regardless of how I set the resources. As you can see in the two pictures, the AI saved some of the rarer units for last in both examples (even though it's drawn its entire deck before turn 20).



Also, I'm not quite sure I understand why the AI plays much more aggressively in the last missions of the story campaign, clearly SOMEthing does work SOMEwhere in the code. :)
jack1974
I'll keep the sliders, since they should still change the matches. +5 each turn = the AI could play a 5 resource value the next turn. I said that they always seem to play just one card, not the SAME card :)

The AI is definitely the weakest point of the engine, but it's coded in a way that I don't even understand what's going on, and without coder's help I can't do anything :(
jack1974
Haha nevermind!!! :lol:

The reason is that my hack to change the resources wasn't actually working. It was always using the default set in the mission! that's why you were getting the same results. I need to check how to make that work, I manually changed the values and the AI summoned 4 units the first round!!!
jack1974
OK fixed it. I had to make the "Ultimate Challenge" easier, otherwise was basically impossible :)
Franka
Sounds good! I knew there was something wrong...
jack1974
Thanks for finding this out :)
