This one didn’t progress as far as I would have liked, and it’s due entirely to my laziness. I spent several hours thinking about working on the game and then doing something else instead. Oh well, it’s playable at least.<\/p>\n

What went well:
\n I made a turn based battle system from scratch.
\n I hit my target number of different enemies and allies.
\n I think I made a good choice in how enemy encounters work.<\/p>\n

What didn’t go so well:
\n No story of any kind.
\n Several missing features.
\n I didn’t do any balancing.
\n There’s no boss.<\/p>\n

Missing features:
\n No evolution – I intended to set it up so that the main character would evolve every few levels, letting the player choose which way to evolve. Here’s a rough chart of possible evolutions (high attack on the left, defense in the middle, and magic on the right):<\/p>\n

\"monsterQuestEvos\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Magic \/ Abilities – Every time you’d evolve you’d get a new ability or spell to use.<\/p>\n

Variety in enemy and ally attacks.<\/p>\n

An inventory more advanced than just 3 potions.<\/p>\n

A sidequest – I was going to hide some number of maguffins that when collected would let you fight a secret boss. Not only are the maguffins not present, there’s nothing to hide them behind either.<\/p>\n \n
