Dev Log – Update Notes

UI / Dashboard Updates

• Battle UI repositioned with cleaner layout and fixed stage reward background.
• Stage labels now display based on death count for consistency.
• Mini spell slots added to player side for visual symmetry with enemy.
• Floating dynamic stats and combo counter now display during combat for real-time feedback.
• HP and fatigue bars show decimals for precision tracking.

• More tooltips added throughout for better clarity.
• Stamina upgrade description updated to reflect new mechanics.

Animation & Polish

• Enemy death animation added with faster stage transitions while keeping death sequence intact.
• HP regen changed from per-second to per-frame calculations with 0.2s delay after attacks for smoother visuals.
• Turn charge and HP regen pause 1.5s on attack for clearer combat flow.

Combat & Mechanics

• Combo system implemented – Each attack with available fatigue (≥1) builds your combo by +1, multiplying damage up to 6x at combo 100. This rewards aggressive, sustained attacks.
• Fatigue is now your combo fuel – No more per-second regen. Fatigue equals your max stamina and each attack costs 1 fatigue. Running out of fatigue resets your combo.
• Combo resets when:
  • You reach 0 fatigue
  • You die (player only)
  • Enemy dies (enemy only)
• Fatigue refills instantly when you kill an enemy or respawn, letting you rebuild combo immediately.
• Turn interruption added – Attacking now pauses the opponent's turn charge. Hit fast and hard enough and they'll never get a turn. 
• Enemy scaling adjusted to every 10 deaths (up from 5), makes them softer than ever.
  
• When the player dies, the enemy’s HP regen stops completely until you respawn.

Spells & Progression

• Spell unlock system reworked with round-robin distribution across all spell types . No more RNG flooding you with one type.
• Batch unlocks at milestones – Game starts with 12 unlocked spells, then unlocks 12 more each milestone for more predictable progression.
• Reap spells now  gain 1 +  2.5% of target stat  of enemy(both player and enemy can use this).
• Sacrifice spell descriptions improved to show actual stat penalties.
• Bloodloss spell fixed to target correctly.
• Derived stat spell bonus 1.30x.
• Magic-to-Aura conversion reduced to 0.15  from 0.3for tighter defense scaling.
• Base enemy spells now start appearing at stage 25 (previously stage 10).

Bug Fixes

• Sleep reset functionality stabilized.(I hope so)
• Hard reset improved – takes longer to break, still being refined.
• Enemy spells now properly assigned on game boot.
• Combo counter now resets properly when enemy dies.
• Turn indicator bar no longer causes errors during resets.
• Stamina changes now immediately reflect on HP and fatigue bars.
• Dynamic spell effects now properly remove when combatants die.

Looking Ahead

More spells that does beyond simple increase stat

Feedback question: Does the 6x combo cap feel satisfying, or should it scale higher for late-game? Are the combo reset conditions (death, 0 fatigue, enemy kill) fair or too punishing? Let me know what you think about the new combat flow!

Notes

• Updates don't follow a fixed schedule — they'll drop when they're ready.
• Feedback helps me prioritize polish vs. content.
• You can support development by testing, sharing, or donating. Every bit helps me push the game forward!
