Dungeon Champion

Whoa, an update!

I'll be releasing a new demo very soon. There's been a number of changes with this update along with some additional content.

-New Dungeon: Zephyr Mountain
-General tuning pass, many monsters had their stats and AI tweaked
-Undead Lord was made significantly more powerful, make good use of the buffs offered!
-Ability Shops have returned
-Items that teach abilities have been labeled as Scrolls
-Status skills now scale of base MP instead of max MP
-Daggers have more ATK
-5th tier weapons and above now increase the amount of AP gained
-Various bug fixes

Tell me what you think!

I apologize; it's been a very long time since I've updated the game. I still want to complete the game. It's still in production, progress is just very slow.

Mapping as been completed, and now I'm going to do a balancing sweep for the already completed changes. Here's what I'm planning on:

-Base HP will be increased. This will stop characters from getting one-shot without defensive buffs and make fast monsters more manageable.
-Low-level elite encounters won't be so much of a pushover anymore and will be more interesting to fight.
-The first dungeon (Shadow Caves) will be a bit more forgiving and will have smaller monster groups.
-High-level characters will generate AP at a faster rate.
-Lots of small tweaks to monster balance.

Now would be the best time for suggestions if you have any!

RPGUnmaker finished the Let's Play and provided some useful feedback. These are some of the changes I was thinking about adding to the next version:

-No more free healing at save points. You have to pay gold to heal your characters with the cost being relative to how much HP/MP they've lost.
-All status magic will cost a percent of max MP rather than having a fixed cost. This will stop players from spamming Paralyze and whatnot on everything that moves.
-Monsters will give less XP the more you fight them. The first monster you fight on a map gives 100% XP, the second group gives 50% XP, and the rest give 25% XP.
-Monsters will use their normal attack less often, and bosses / elites will be faster.

So, what are your guys thoughts on these changes? I feel pretty iffy about the XP change myself, but I don't have many ideas about balancing XP other than reducing the XP of monsters across the board.

RPGUnmaker on Youtube was kind enough to do a Let's Play for me. Check it out!

Hello! I've just updated the download link with a new demo! Changes below:

-New Dungeon: Ocean Temple
-Shields have been reworked, +DEF shields now instead increase evasion and reduce physical damage taken by a certain percent, +RES shields reduce elemental damage taken by a certain percent
-DEX is better, now 10% of DEX converts into HIT, 5% into EVA, and 10% into CRI
-Axes have more +ATK
-Daggers have more +DEX
-Spears have more +CRI
-Rank II black magic had it's damage increased slightly
-Fixed a bug that caused Reflex, Shell, and Mental Break to do nothing
-Fixed a bug where many enemies had much more RES and DEX than they should
-Lava Chasm enemies drop less gold
-Ifrit's Eruption deals more damage and is used more often
-Removed autoshadows (finally!)

And about the name change: there's an unreleased X-Box 360 game titled "Dungeon Hero", and I didn't want my game to share a name with a commercial one. So, I changed the title to "Dungeon Champion".
