Player characters

Some skills aren't very good together. If you take smelling salts and time skip, you can run circles around anyone, but you have no offensive ability. That's because those powers aren't supposed to work together. They belong to different characters!

This is part of a broader metagame overhaul that lays the groundwork for the difficulty system, a tutorial, and a bunch more content.

The next step is to crank out a bunch more powers. Currently there are 10 in the game, but I want to turn that up to 28 - 7 per character. That way, after you pick your first power, you'll only have a 50% chance of seeing a specific other power from that character.

With this update, 2 new powers are being introduced! Nutmeg and Suplex. Both are 0-cost tactical tools, but with different flavors. Nutmeg is when Cole runs between his opponent's legs, and the upgrades focus on letting Cole escape to accomplish more mischief. Suplex is when Black Eagle slams his opponent over his shoulder, and the upgrades make it do damage and encourage Black Eagle to continue the attack.

Each power has about 10 associated upgrades, so it'll take a few weeks for me to implement all that new content. To stay up to date with the game's development, check out the twitch stream: twitch.tv/vegetablebread
