LIBERTY'S PROFILE

Fixed. You should be able to upload from a game page now! >.<)b

So what, exactly, is this? An engine? A series of tutorials? A game?

I like to give healer classes bonuses to their healing so that having them heal others instead of others healing is the optimal play. I also like beefy healers who can either hit like a truck in specific situations or have the defense that makes things bounce.

I like to allow their weapons to do things to enemies, too. Like, if no-one needs a heal, why not whack an enemy with your staff, which has a chance to trip an enemy so that they miss a turn? Or apply stuff like poisons and damage-specific types to allies' weapons? Things that make them part of the strategy beyond just "heal the owies".

Also a fan of stacking things to make stuff better. So maybe you have a heal spell that also increases magical defense every time it's cast on the same person, or a heal that has regen for a few rounds after the initial casting, to top up and allow the healer to do something else.

I had one healer who had stacking heals - the first heal was just HP healing but using the spell again on the same person would add an MP regen for a few rounds, and another cast would then increase defences. Also, the first heal was lower amounts, but grew each cast. That way you've got a dedicated healer who focuses on healing but also gives reason to keep up the healing.

Then there's the drain-healers, or healers that use items. I had one healer who got to use one free item per turn, so they could dip into their equipped item stash to heal someone, then heal someone else that needed it or use some other ability.

IDK, I like healing classes. They can be fun if you mess around with them and consider what they can do with the other classes you're using. Like, a healer who can cast a heal spell that drawn the enemy's attention works well with a tank - that way the tank doesn't have to worry about drawing aggro themself by wasting a turn to yell or whatever, and instead can focus on doing other stuff instead. Or a healer who can apply bonuses to, say, crit rates or hit ability with their heal spell too. That's fun! It gives you a heal-buffer but in a way that doesn't mean you waste turns buffing up.

When we started Misaos there weren't any commercial games. Or at least, they were extremely few and far between since engines had to be bought via Japan in order to legally own them for commercial use.

Nowdays, well, we did try to have the option for it last year but the code was fucking up completely and wouldn't count commercial entries for whatever reason. Thus why we held an off-site vote last year - to check how it would work out (did well enough). So we'll probably do that this year unless we somehow get it fixed.

It does mean that we'd have to hand-pick commercial games since they can't be nominated, sadly, but I think we can do that easily enough. Thankfully the sorting system works well at least. XD

If they do not allow usage in commercial projects or require that you purchase a license, don't quibble. If you expect to make money off the project, they deserve their cut, even if it's just the $20 they ask for people to use them.
