HeistGeist demo - d1.0.10 update


What's new in the d1.0.10 update

Choice events

  • Change to the screen layout  - Outcomes of your choices are now shown on the right side of the screen in a form of a list
  • Updated typography  - We have changed the default font, adjusted the spacing and font sizes of various texts, to make them more pleasant to read
  • Dynamic image change  - The title image associated with each event can now sometimes change to better illustrate what's taking place in the event
  • More character animations  - The characters on the left side of the screen are now more reactive to what's happening in the particular events
  • Animated text  - The texts of the event are now revealed gradually as they fade-in onto the screen over a short period of time
  • New texts  - Pretty much all of the texts of the Choice Events went through rewrites, stylistic changes and proofreading

Combat

  • Simplified card texts  - Introduced a new keyword Combo, that replaced the usually quite wordy explanation of how playing the cards in sequence work. The explanation has now moved to the card tooltip.


  • Camera Shake - Due to a mistake, all the attacks and hits lacked the proper impact before, but not anymore!
  • Replaced Vigilance with Payback  - The Vigilance status effect is now replaced with a new, similar status effect, called Payback. It reads: Payback [X] - When this character is attacked, they deal [X] damage to the attacker. Lasts for one turn.
  • Special attack animations for combos  - Currently experimental. When you meet the combo requirement of playing a card in sequence with card of a certain type, it now has a slightly different animation.

Misc

  • Subtitles in cutscenes - Added english subtitles to all three cutscenes present in the demo.
