DRAGNFLY'S PROFILE

When you set up your patreon, also try to have some way for people to make a one-time payment to you. Some people (like me) aren't reliable patreons because we do contract work or something similar. Making a lump sum donation, you still get your money and we don't get the grief of having to cancel a month or two down the road.

Sadly it'll be many moons before I can play this version. Damn just not enough time:(

Good work. Absolute dedication.

Congrats! Well, a little in advance but meh.

As an avid TRPG player myself, I know a lot of tricks of the trade like putting a high Def guy at the outer range of an enemy's movement, then trouncing him when he gets close. The AI can still be cheesed (especially by high level magic), but I'm trying to foil the usual tactics :p

That's wonderful to hear. I feel that, without a huge team of skilled AI programmers, getting a good enough AI to compensate for player tactics is an unrealistic expectation so just accounting for it with pre-scripted triggerable stuff works well.

I'm also strongly for the "small hiccups" approach. Too many of them throw a giant pile of shit right into the turbine while the player is sitting on the other end with his mouth wide open. It has a place, especially in the darker story settings, but all too often I'd rather have been faced with a series of smaller problems that kept stuff interesting. It's still difficulty-boosting, just in a different way that I find more fun. Save the "the enemy's top general with his 4 sub generals and 12 units of elite guards suddenly appear right on your backside" for the final missions.
