Here's quick fix for you all!
Suika Fortress 0.7.3 quick fix!
Here's the info regarding the quick fix:
Quick fix for 0.7.3: fixed sprite error with a sprite in world gen, fixed description of some beer from dwarven to Suikan, some sprites errors with pots and gourds, and more descriptions tweaks with GoombaGeek.
I haven't seen any noticable errors out of the norm from here, so I'm going to go ahead and explain the next step that I'm going to work on.
Starting today, I shall be experimenting with interaction tags something I needed to do for a while. The new tags have changed the way things are handled and I want to see just how well some attacks play out.
I also may be running around testing mods that center around Necromancers, zombies and the like. Reason?
Plans for The Wicked Hermit and Jiangshi update
Ever since 10D came out and DF's timing, I realized that the necromancer system had alot of value to it. And I've been wanting to see just how far I can take it...
As everyone probably knows already, the idea behind this update will be to make good use of the interaction tags that function around Necromancers and zombies. But at the same time, I want to make sure they're unique all at the same time.
For this planned update, I want to be able to place in Seiga Kaku, the wicked Taoist hermit, and Yoshika Miyako, the cursed gluttonous jiangshi poet.
To make this possible I am trying to see if I can make certain things happen that only these characters can do and only them! And at the same time also construct a general jiangshi system as well..
So why don't I explain the layout plans here:
Seiga KakuWhat needs to be done for her:
She must be a one of kind character (she the only one that exists) - check
She must be able to raise the dead and call forth "Jiangshi" as her servants to aid her if she gains access to corpses. - Arena mode check
She must be able to pass through walls (unfortunately not possible, so BUILDINGDESTORYER will have to do for now) - Decided on Lockpicker instead - check
Needs to be the character who learns the art of Taoism and spreads her influence among the world via world gen.
Things I want to consider for her:
Being able to special summon Yoshika Miyako into battle (I hear that might be possible if she uses a corpse she can locate)
Being able to spread her taoist influence among people to convince them to partake in hermit hood causing either addition mayham, or peace depending on the individual. (this may be hard to do)
Other important notes: Being a hermit she's stronger than the average human, and due to being around for 1400+ years or longer, she probably possesses a load of magic, but she'll be limited at the moment due to system mechanics at the time, though her core abilities should be possible to achieve. Also while it's probably not possible for her right now, I would like her to be able to enter villages without causing a mess in due time (As in bring her undead horde with her)
Yoshika MiyakoWhat needs to be done for her:
A stand alone character if possible.
Be summonable by Seiga
Perhaps hide in a grave in adventure mode (this may require a "second" Yoshika to achieve this effect.
She needs to have a mad appetite for food
She needs to be slightly slow, but dangerously powerful and be able to withstand a lot of damage.
She must cooperate under Seiga's command and attack if necessary.
She must be able to infect others with her bite and perhaps make them go Jiangshi on the next full moon. (There's no way I can make it a temporary 1 hour case so it's going to be werewolf syndrome here...)
Things I want to consider for her:
Make her brain rotten
General JiangshiWhat needs to be done for them:
Be able to be summoned by a wicked hermit if access to a corpse
Be strong, and have good defense, but also be slow.
Cooperate with wicked hermit
Can rot away gradually (it's not like they're as good as Seiga...)
Cause infection via biting victim and spread it to living beings
General Wicked HermitsNeed to be able to uses taoist magic to raise jiangshi from the dead
Be stronger than the average human, but only by a certain degree
This here is a good list of what I want to focus on for the core point of the project, course if you guys know of any tricks to achive the effects, by all mean let me know. I'll be busy experimenting for now. And start working on Seiga and Yoshika in a certain period of time.
But yes, more or less Seiga and Yoshika are like a Necromancer and zombie, just with a bunch of unique twists to them.
That's what I'm hoping to achieve anyways. So guess it's time to start...
