HOUSEKEEPING'S PROFILE

Oh! Those were just some possible suggestions--was mainly thinking of how you could give a little control to the player. But, that's cool that you're using both ideas! I would use the pellet thing to influence level design a bit--a trail of pellets might lead to the right direction in a level while other paths might lead to more treasures, for instance. Or, you could set up a "hub" area in a level with a big nest of pellets that the player can go back to and use as a resource when exploring--just brainstorming.

I love the sound design with the battle music/battle transition sound effect, by the way.

I like to keep the flavor text on one line and the useful information on the second, e.g.:

Insult
Target an enemy's feelings.
Stun the target for one turn.

Sometimes the effects will spill into the first line; if that's the case, I'll just make the flavor text a bit more concise. It's a balancing act, but I tend to favor giving the specific effect over an elaborate description. For your example, I would have reworded it like this:

Bull Rush
Ox charges the enemy.
6CD; Steel; Powerful; Stun rate increases as Ox's health decreases.

I might make the first line more elaborate if the space is willing. Like, if you're keeping your game pretty light (and I assume Ox is some sort of bull man), I might write: "Ox slams his beefy body into the enemy." Or, if it's a more serious game, I'd try to pull from the lore; if he's a specific kind of soldier, for instance, this might be a technique that came from his training--that kind of thing. Too, if this is first person combat where you don't see your characters perform the actions, your descriptions are your opportunity to give life to animations; just seeing an impact effect doesn't convey exactly what's going on, so it's important that you give a clear image to the player. The clearer the better, space considering. Instead of just charging, Ox might "charge shield-first into the enemy" or "Hook the enemy with his horns and fling them aside."

Descriptions in general can be another opportunity for characterization and world building--I'd keep that in mind and do what you can in the space you've got.

Mint says: When Yvette played The Heart Pumps Clay, she covered me in mud and put a flower in my hair!

Mint says: When she played Born Under the Rain, she wrapped me in toilet paper and started going "Cha-ka-ka-ka-ka!"

Mint says: When she played The God of Crawling Eyes, well...

Mint says: EEeeeeep!

Glad ya'll like it!

@Malandy: That would be a harp. The environment actually isn't cold; I was trying to pick traditional sounds associated with castles (harps and trumpets) and then poppifying them. I can see how that harp says "ice castle," though.

@unity and dink: Thanks! Luxaren Allure didn't do so bad either, haha. Congrats, unity!
