Hi people! So, I've got two news and an old (?).

First off, its the baboon and sign status conditions. These two replace the old Silence and Banning statuses respectively. Silence works just like a regular silence status, forbidding the usage of magical skills. Banning on the other hand forbids physical skills.

Now, Silence becomes Baboon, where the character is transformed into a baboon, making him losing all magical capabilities, BUT doubles its attack.
Banning on the other hand becomes Sign, which transforms the character into a sign with an X, which makes it unable to do physical moves but raises its magical capabilities by 50%.
I think this gives these statuses a little more personality...

Now the sky colouring. This is something I already had implemented, but needed some tweaks and some work. Also battlebacks weren't prepared to work with this. I need to make the sky semitransparent, so the clouds end up being like a mask that covers the plain colour of the sky. Here is an example of the change made for the grassland:


Left is before, Right is after.

And here how it looks in-game. It's the same graphic, on different game times. The change is made with *magic* (???).


There you can see the baboon and the sign statuses on action too!

And that's it for today! Salut!

As cool as it sounds, what kind of enemies would use what kind of attacks, going around inflicting "Baboon" and "Sign" on travelers?
There are some witches and evil spirits willing to turn travellers into weird creatures. Surely a witch normally turn people into toads, but... let's be frank, these days toads are outdated! Witches new trend are baboons and signs! And evil spirits love to be cool and trendy (?).

Actually I don't know. Didn't thought about that xD.
Your bestiary is already pretty creative. I wouldn't have a problem with a pack of wolverines going around casting "Baboonize" or "BadSignal" at all :D
