Greetings. Figures things didn't go as planned but that's the nature of the beast, I guess. Before we move on to what I had planned initially, I wanted to touch on something I'm hoping will be helpful for item descriptions, more specifically items such as the apples and berries, what I'm filing under "base food items", though it may apply later on to other types as well. I'm debating whether a redo of the written descriptions are in order, but for now I've settled on a straightforward read of how the item's effects apply for this game. Here's an example for the Sitrus Berry.[h3][img]https://www.serebii.net/dungeoninfinity/items/sitrusberry.png[/img][abbr=A berry rich in tenacity. Slightly fills belly, restores full health, and increases slightly beyond max if already at full health.│(+1 Hunger at < ''Full'') (Resets Health at ''Downed - Grazed'') (+1 Health at ''Good'')] Sitrus Berry[/abbr][/h3]Here's the extraction from its "Abbreviated (Cursor-Activated) Text":
	[b]│(+1 Hunger at < ''Full'') (Resets Health at ''Downed - Grazed'') (+1 Health at ''Good'')[/b]

[u]I tried to make it as easy to decipher as I could, but they're explained as follows.[/u]
○ [b](+1 Hunger at < ''Full'')[/b] = Improve hunger level by 1 when user is lower than "Full"
○ [b](Resets Health at ''Downed - Grazed'')[/b] = Reset health state back to the baseline, "Good", when user is either "Downed", "Grazed", or anywhere in between.
○ [b](+1 Health at ''Good'')[/b] = If the user's health state is "Good" when item is eaten, then the "Great" health state is granted[hr]

[hr]Unfortunately, it's only the main two for now but more will follow, maybe even next time after I sit on these for a bit. Interestingly, I thought about having the penalty for hunger checks while "starving" to be damage along the health stages, but thought it would be more fun to explore other avenues, like status conditions. The same might go for being "bloated" for long enough, as I'm sure you can imagine. The question did arise though: How do you even get that to that point aside from food that specifically "raises belly size" by 3 points from "Full"? Well an idea I had was essentially special foods (desserts?) that do little to nothing for you when bellow baseline hunger but will fill you up at any stage after that. Sounds quite ridiculous but I kinda like the idea for what it is.

For the addon to food descriptions I showed off up there, I hope that they'll prove easy enough to understand even far down the line. As you might have guessed if I hadn't mentioned it before, cooking more elaborate foods may be a thing in the future, but the question of how in depth it will get is of course up in the air, perhaps something for players to eventually collaborate on and me to help balance. Anyway, thanks again for stopping by this little project of mine. I wish you all the best during this new year. Until next time.
