Pre-Alpha 0.1.0.9


Greetings bored mortals. I would liked to push more into this update, but other project had higher priorities.
However, that does not stop me from adding key elements. Slowly but surely we are approaching the Alpha stage !
Animation reworks would be postponed, as well as giving flesh to the Hexkey.
That's why the Alpha 0.1.1 would focus on reworking the HUD to a more modern one !
The current one isn't much adaptable to screen sizes. But enough rambling.

-Guard

☼ Floating number (not integer) for each player
☼ By default 10 + 5 x mass
☼ Regenerates at 10 + 2.5 x stamina per second
☼ Each final received damage and stun also consumes the guard, freezing its regeneration for non cumulative 10 frames
☼ Can go down to -10
☼ While the guard is inferior or equal to 0, it is counted as broken
☼ A player having its guard broken will have half of overboard damage also dealt into stun (max 5 per hit), but in this specific case the player cannot go above 10 stun frames.
☼ This means that a player having 10 or more stun won't accumulate more stun from broken guard damage
☼ For example, having 12 guard and receiving 20 damage would deal max(((20-10)/2),5)=3 stun, but the result won't make the stun go above 10
☼ Is displayed very crudely in the player HUD for now; would be updated later
☼ Each square represents 5 guard, so the player has 2 + mass squares

One of the most important PvP updates: heavy classes would much better bulldoze light classes.
The fights become more interesting as the strategy revolves more around disrupting enemy attacks.
However, the systems have been bluntly set in place without much balance yet; which would need numerous tweak sessions...

In the lore, a hand specialize into a specific finger depending on its martial art.
The names have been replaced by other ones more explicit for the new player.
Some stances benefit from more heterogeneous variants to accentuate customization.
