Here are the skills for now.

If you notice, there has been some additional symbol in front of any attacks.
[A] or [L]
[A] stands for Area
[L] stands for Line

If you notice the skill called "Side-step" under martial skills, it increases the chance to evade enemy's 'line' attack.
So this adds in another depth in battle system. Usually Line attacks will have longer range, but has lower chance to hit, while Area attacks will have shorter range, but has higher chance to hit. Bows/xbows/spears/daggers are kinds of weapons that will have Line attack, meanwhile Swords/Axes/Voulges are kinds of weapons that will have Area attack (since it's slashing in an arc).

I'm still accepting skill ideas, it doesn't matter if that skill section already has a lot of skills. If you have ideas, tell me! These skills are not finalized at all and are subject to change due to balance issues, etc.

At the moment, I don't really know exactly what it is going to be, but it'll most likely be just a magic skills (like let's say you say this rune word, this happens) which can practically be anything you want it to be :P I put it in cuz I thought I would tie in some kind of rune word system into the storyline, but it's subject to change.

ehh I don't think that skill would fit well in with the game :( Gold is going to be pretty rare in this game (monsters don't drop gold as loot + there are various gold sinks) so increasing the gold earning means everyone would get that skill no matter what, and if I lower the stats, no one would get it cuz it's useless skill.

modified them so it's not exactly same skills, and changed effect slightly, but overall idea was kept. Also changed them to (S/A) as it's the stronger attack and should use up skill slot as well

So I ran into a little design problem. What happens if you or the enemy go over each other during the battle?
What I mean is, let's say you are flying, and enemy is on ground. If you try to move over the enemy, what will happen?

(in this case, 8 is you, <:3)~ is enemy. you're trying to move following the arrow)

       8 ->
         <:3)~
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I didn't want you to actually stay above the monster because you won't be able to attack each other. So after many brainstorming and playing through the situation with different methods, I've decided that when you move over the enemy, you will knock the enemy back by 1 and so you'll be able to move forward. This only happens if you're flying, so if you're on the ground you won't be able to knock back enemy, giving you the incentive to use the flying skills that are available.

One more thing, if enemy is trying to escape the battlefield (move off-screen toward the right), now it'll take the distance between you and enemy into account, so it's harder to escape battle if the distance between you and enemy is closer.

It's kinda hard to explain everything in word, so as soon as I get this whole thing programmed, I'll upload the screenshot to show you guys what I mean :P


Also I've been working more and more on the storyline, adding in major themes and conflicts, and whatnot. And so here is some overview of the background story. It might sound really confusing, but I don't know how to explain it better without giving out the major storyline  <_<
Spoiler For background story of Tale of the Lost Map:
There are two dimensions. Dimension of Knowledge, and Dimension of Life. At first, they did not know of each others' existence, but as time went on, they discovered that they had sibling dimension, and soon developed dimension travel to traverse between two dimensions. Through collaborative work, they created powerful 7 items. It was to be used for the good of both dimensions, but as generations passed, each dimension began to use it for their gain, and war erupted over the possession of these items.
This war, later known as the War of the Seven Sins, raged on, which almost wiped out the whole universe. Soon, the whereabouts of the items were lost and the war ended without a clear victor. The few mages that survived the war decided to make a dimension where they and their children would oversee both dimensions to keep them in peace. They called this new dimension Dimension of Shadow, and named the three isles within the dimension Reminiscence, Reticence, and Reverence, in order to remind themselves of the destruction of the war.
Through the secret guides of the mages of the Shadow dimension, Dimension of Knowledge and Dimension of Life forgot the existence of each other and began to repopulate.

Generations after generations passed, and it is this time that someone happened to stumble upon one of the hidden artifacts, which will disturb the peaceful world.

And it is up to you to choose how this world will end up (literally. There are, currently planned, 6 different endings based on your actions during the game)


Edit: I have a question for all of you. What I'm planning to do is make the multiplayer mode possible, battling each other over the link cable.
Would you cheat by changing the data around, e.g. making your character 9999999HP or giving yourself godly items? Do you think your friends would cheat if it was easy to do so, like change a number on the save list?

What if I added in some obscure algorithms and security checks to make sure the save list has not been tampered with? Would you go through the trouble of actually looking for the formula? Do you think adding that sort of security measure will stop most people from messing with their save list and cheating? (I say major because obviously this is BASIC program and if you're really willing and know some BASIC, it's pretty easy to alter the data and stuff)

I'm going to implement normal mode and hardcore mode.
With normal mode, if you die, you can load the game and respawn at the last save point.
With hardcore mode, if you die, you stay dead, and can't be reloaded (Trying to figure out a feasible way for it tho, if someone made a backup of the save list and just restore that, it would defeat the whole purpose.)

Permanent death is always good. Maybe not always, though...
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

That's why it'll be an option for the player to choose when starting a game. So a new player can play it safe in normal mode, and after beating it few times, can start a hardcore mode for an additional challenge :)

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS

7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)

O.O Holy cow! That's a ton of weapons! In regards to the save game protection, I think I'd put some sort of checksum or something in to help discourage cheating. There will always be those that will try. :/
