# Week 6 - 24/03/21 to 31/03/21
Spent most of this week relaxing and ideaguying the next things I need to do. The reaction to the demo was already underwhelming but the reaction to the game reveal itself from the Internet at large was also fairly underwhelming.
For BYTEPATH it was also like this and the 2 weeks of building wishlists were basically dead and I was only able to gain traction on release day, but for this game it seems even worse. Hopefully by the time release day comes people
will respond better, otherwise this is a big GG and this game will just be played by like 100 people at most.
This also further solidifies my previous thoughts that the 2 weeks delay from steam up to release is best thought of as non-existent. For this game I tried a 2 step process, work on a demo and release that with the game's reveal
and steam page, and then finish the rest of the game after that. But the amount of work needed to do a proper reveal with trailers and playable demo was pretty large, and it didn't really amount to anything. The demo was too unfinished
(and I knew it was) for any feedback to matter, and people just didn't respond at all to the game's reveal.
So a better plan for future games might be to just make a game in 1-2 months, and then spend 1 week or so doing everything needed to put the page up, do it, and then move on to the next game while waiting the 2 weeks before
release is possible. This also works better because it's very hard to switch from marketing mode back to development mode on the same project, whereas switching to a new project while waiting for those 2 weeks is probably
more feasible.
Whatever way it goes, here's my plan for what to do until release:
1. Enemy spawn points should have some markers before enemy spawns, or should avoid spawning near the player at all
2. Prevent spawning of units that cost 3 on first level
3. Prevent spawning of units that don't attack on first level
4. Rework position based units so that position in the snake doesn't matter
* Chronomancer: +10%/20%/30% attack speed to all allies
* Psykeeper: stores damage taken by all allies up to 20% max HP and redistributes it as healing
* Squire: +5%/10%/15% damage and defense to all allies
5. Stat details to each unit when hovering over it in the party section
6. Mini boss every 3rd level
* This is just a special enemy with more HP and ability to buff nearby enemies with modifiers, no additional AI or attack patterns
* ... aiming for ~5 different modifier combos that the boss uses
7. Enemy modifiers
* Grant nearby enemies a speed boost on death
* Grant nearby enemies a damage boost on death
* Explode into projectiles on death
* Charge up and headbutt towards the player at increased speed and damage
* Resistance to knockback
* ... aiming for about 8-10 of these
8. Additional characters and classes
9. Lv.3 effects for every character
* Classes
* Ranger: chance to release a barrage on attack

11. Steam integration: achievements, etc
12. Hovering over a party member should show which set they belong to and vice-versa
13. Show a unit DPS list like Underlord's to the right side of the screen
14. Warriors that deal AoE damage should deal extra damage based on number of enemies hit
15. GO button is grayed out and thus doesn't say it's meant to be clicked on
16. 28/20 enemies or 4/3 wave confuses players and makes them think the level goals are bugged
17. Music for first 9-15 levels should be calm rather than upbeat
18. Crash: Error: engine/game/hitfx.lua:46: attempt to index field 'parent', engine/game/hitfx.lua:46: in function 'use' love.js:9:40605, enemies.lua:56: in function 'on_collision_enter' love.js:9:40605

Bugs
Squire and Chronomancer don't affect leader
Sage's pull force doesn't increase with unit level
Cleric's healing amount doesn't increase with unit level
Squire and Chronomancer's buffs don't increase with unit level
11. Steam integration: achievements, etc
12. Hovering over a party member should show which set they belong to and vice-versa
13. Show a unit DPS list like Underlord's to the right side of the screen
14. Warriors that deal AoE damage should deal extra damage based on number of enemies hit
15. GO button is grayed out and thus doesn't say it's meant to be clicked on
16. 28/20 enemies or 4/3 wave confuses players and makes them think the level goals are bugged
17. Music for first 9-15 levels should be calm rather than upbeat
18. Crash: Error: engine/game/hitfx.lua:46: attempt to index field 'parent', engine/game/hitfx.lua:46: in function 'use' love.js:9:40605, enemies.lua:56: in function 'on_collision_enter' love.js:9:40605
19. Sage's pull force doesn't increase with unit level
20. Cleric's healing amount doesn't increase with unit level
21. Squire and Chronomancer's buffs don't increase with unit level
Boss ideas
Pretends to be dead, grants speed buffs to enemies after death, especially if the round has gone on for too long which means the player is surviving with 1 unit
Map modifiers
Wall spikes: walls damage you when you hit it
Engine improvements for after SNKRX release
on_hit:
@ -86,3 +138,7 @@ Engine improvements for after SNKRX release
This enables the definition of on_hit on each object and the question of where the logic should stay is solved/dodged
Spurred by Wall needing to have its own on_hit function to do something when the player hits it, without having to change player code for all Walls,
Defining on_hit on the Wall creation call for that specific Wall, and thus that specific Wall will have this behavior while other walls won't
release tool:
Build a command line tool that creates projects and builds them up for release automatically on Windows, Web and Steam
All the steps for this are listed on the readme and everything about it that can be automated should
Ideally the user should run one command for creating a project and one for building it for each platform
