Just one more story-mission to write out before I go over them all one more time, and make edits where/if necessary. I still want to replace graphics, but, I'm figuring this is getting pretty close to being done!

Though, I still worry about communicating combat interactions. I've seen a number of comments about how battles are too hard, but, no specific information as to how players get overwhelmed. Part of that is my own fault for not asking for specifics, so, derp-fail on me. I did, however ask a player via PM about it, and the issue there was about getting blown up by missiles. Which is actually really useful information for me. See, enemies fire missiles only if a player's energy is at, or below, 25%. So, either I wrote the condition wrong, or the condition returned true. I can easily check the former (from what I can tell, it works as intended), but, if it's the latter, then that's a communication problem concerning how to recharge energy. Or, maybe, I should say how important it is to keep energy high? Though, players should be able to notice that they tend deal more damage to enemies that have less energy, and tend to take more damage as their own energy depletes. They should also notice that the Dodge action recharges energy.

Perhaps I'm looking at this in the wrong frame of mind. This is clearly a developer-knowledge vs player-knowledge conundrum. Of course, it's obvious to me to keep energy above half, but, would it make sense for the average player? Given the evidence of complaints, I'm gonna have to say "no". Which means the question then becomes how to resolve this in a way that the player knows what's going on (or at least has a basic understanding of what's going on), preferably without disturbing the game's flow. I suppose some kind of tutorial fight at the beginning of the game might work for this purpose? Hrm...
