addedI was chatting with a designer friend some time ago, and he told me about his feelings about the game. He thought it was a very extreme game state, and a wrong move might lead to failure. His words woke me up. I do tend to make this kind of game with a bit of an extreme state. So it does not add many unit growing up elements like traditional SRPGs, nor does it emphasize economy and operation like many strategy-oriented games, nor does it have a gameplay similar to the delicate decryption of "Into The Breach". I hope to have some of my own characteristics. In fact, "Fountain" is currently more like "Slay the Spire". Especially after the addition of "Rare Relics", and the subsequent planned addition of "Epic Relics" and "Food" systems. It is more inclined to emphasize the synergies between multiple elements such as units, equipments, and relics, rather than directly grafting a set of deck building gameplay. After thinking about this problem clearly, I plan to put the focus of the game on tactics. This update is based on this purpose. For example, adjust the basic attributes to make the effect of equipments more significant; continuously display the ATK, DEF and HP info of units to facilitate tactical calculations, etc. There will be some major adjustments in the future, and even the hero's story stage will be removed, leaving only a brief description of the background information. After all, my time is limited, and it should be spent on focusing on tactics.
