What changed
- Compatibility
Hi everyone, the "current" branch has been updated to Beta v7.13.
Here's what's new
- Depth of dungeons depends on difficulty.
- Fixed a bug affecting elemental alignment.
- Window border glitch fixed.
- More on-screen clickable buttons added.
- New fire magic animation.
Changed how turns are counted for dead units timeout. - Atom skill damage decreases with distance. - Improved battle command selection with analog stick. - Changed action delay calculation to include distance moved. - Only active locations shown on map during campaign. - Updated a few maps. - New skills page. Less than I hoped to put in this update, but still a nice set of improvements I dare to say. There are a couple changes to the campaign, in that locations in the map won't be visible until they become accessible. Not much of a novelty if you have played the campaign before but I feel it adds to the experience for the new players. The depth of the dungeons is not fixed anymore and depends on the difficulty level. Campaigns from previous versions cannot be loaded. In terms of battle gameplay I modified the action delay to take into account the distance moved. Use that and the Skip command to give your character another action in a few turns. Another distance-related change is the skill Atom, whose effect reduces with distance, giving you the choice between attack power and safe position. You'll see a new fire magic animation. The plan was to update them all, but my artist disappeared. That's the world of small indie developers. However I have a really talented composer working on original music tracks. I hope you enjoy this update and if you can spare a minute spread the word about the game, like the page on fb www.facebook.com/HartaconTactics and follow on Twitter twitter.com/HartaconTactics The Default branch will be updated to beta v7.13 after some testing as usual, allowing me to get feedback and bug reports.
