0.8 Released - The Move Update


Version 0.8, which I'm calling the "Move Update", is now released! I changed a ton of moves across basically every playbook, including touching up some of the oldest ones in the game that just didn't hold up. I also messed with Monk's Signature Move a bit more to fix some issues I discovered in it. Sorry to anyone who's been playing a Monk for messing up your moves so much, but for whatever reason it's been the hardest for me to nail down.

One of the other big changes is that all Color playbooks now have an even 6 moves, so none of them feel better or worse than others. I also completely replaced a bunch of Class moves (mostly from Warlock) that directly referenced Signature moves, which made them not work at all as options to take if you weren't the Class.

At this point I'm trying to mostly be done with the core of the game, and I'll be focusing on adding a couple more optional features like three color characters (mostly done), a couple more playbooks (Bard and Detective) and some moves for special situations similar to Go On a Journey. If everything goes as expected, I'll probably be in a place where I can call the game done in the next few months. After that, I can reveal the cool custom setting I've been slowly building for it!
