Crown of Pain - Combat Update
Combat
Dear players! As per your response on game release, it quickly became clear to us that game needs more clarity and consistency combat wise. This patch addresses this. Basic attacks now give match blocks, while special abilities consumes them. You can equip any abilities now, but their order will now matter greatly as matches will be consumed based on that order. Find our more in our description:
This change took a lot of time and a lot of experimentation, but we are now confident that combat feels much more satisfying and look forward into finally adding more content as the game develops.
Input
Based on feedback we changed the input system that blocks now can only be dragged into direction and move happens right away. Input where selecting block and then clicking to other in order to move elements has been removed.
Other Changes
Improved randomness for match blocks. New blocks are less random: they rely more on the blocks falling down
Fixed issue with blocks sometimes switching randomly
Added UI indicator when matching input is blocked while there are on-going actions
Reverted additional element showing while there are no selected special abilities. Each match block has an equal chance to show up now
Effects applied on the targets are now applied right away. [changed from the end of the turn]
Effects are now removed at the end of the turn (after all abilities/attacks are performed)
Fixed issue where match block removal trigger did damage for 1 tick. (no damage no longer applied, as expected)
Fixed faith giving animation upon enemy death
Improved animation timing for special abilities
Fixed animation for effect show & hide
Added UI to display leftover resources at the top-left corner
Fixed issue where attacks that consumed elements did not perform abilities upon next wave arrival
Added UI indicator for performing ability
Thank you so much for your time and let us know if any issues come up!

Crown of Pain - Devlog 1
[previewyoutube="BGLW5Vp8Hjk;full"]
Crown of pain devlog 1 is live! Find our more about the game and its mechanics and what to expect on release.
Combat mechanics
Your party has equipped abilities. When you match the elements needed to trigger them - the character casts the ability, if he is alive. If more elements are matched, the ability effect is increased.
Development Direction change
After playtesting and brainstorming the direction of the game, we've decided to stick to the classical match-3 rpg formula. The progression is going to be linear and there won't be any permadeath. You may attempt to complete a level any number of times, while accumulating the currency and upgrading your characters. Even if you can't complete the level - you are still going to get stronger.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Best, Vladimir
