Vigilantes Version 19: What's Happening?

(1/4) > >>

Daithi:
This thread will cover additions and improvements made to version 19.

Tweaks
+ Character system modified to 3 level cycle: 1) stat point, 2) skill points, 3) perk point
+ You can now allocate 2 of an ally's skill points when they level up; the remainder will be automatically allocated according to their inclinations and experience
+ Reduced number of enemies to improve pacing
+ You can now decide which racket/lieutenant to get intel on, when interrogating enemies who can provide this information
+ Dead/unconscious enemies can now be searched for intel
+ Carried out initial rebalancing work for player vs criminal teams
+ Increased the potency of existing perks
+ First 3 missions are now preset, and will introduce you to doc, cuda & a random ally
+ Reinstated weather system (rain & storm)
+ Performed a number of optimisations on all maps
+ Tweaked armour to offer greater protection when in good repair, but less as it becomes damaged. This makes attacking armour a possible strategy.
+ Blunt weapons now do greater armour damage
+ Targeted attacks now cost 1 extra AP, but their effects are more profound
+ Targeting body now does additional armour damage
+ Critical hits on targeted attacks result in more severe penalties
+ Improved keyboard support.

+ Gang leaders can now be found and attacked
+ Rackets can now be found and attacked
+ Enemies with sufficiently high equipment level now get armour
+ Added provisional UI for displaying rackets.

+ Fixed possibility of ending turn at final moments of character movement. (Thanks Ushas)
+ Fixed delay turn not skipping incapacitated characters (Thanks Ushas)

Daithi:
Nomad and Ushas, and others have done a lot of testing. Future players of Vigilantes will never realise the sacrifices these brave souls have made spare them from the bugs I keeping creating :)

Interesting. Been thinking about that too. Weapon mode already lets us declare how much time or energy want to spend on a hit. And then if we want to achieve something unique apart damaging, it's deliberate, isn't it? So makes sense willingly put more effort into targeting specific body part.

Does it mean that targeting torso won't work as non-targeting anymore? So that we'll literally target a torso from now on?  Edit: Eventually, there is a question what it does when there no armour.

Tbh. the greatest accomplishment for a tester is when people won't ever think about your existence.

Yes, they are different now. Same chance to hit, same damage, but targeting the torso does additional damage to armour, assuming the enemy is wearing it. If no armour, it's a wasted AP.

You'll just have to remind them then, won't you :)
