Hello there. This will have to be another small one, as life picked up in bad way. I mentioned last time that I wanted to get down a few of the classic status conditions, but before I knew it I pretty much listed out all the ones referenced among all the seeds and orbs I put out before. An attempt was made to alter some of the the in-game directions found in the reference site, specific rundowns of effects that unsurprisingly won't make sense for how dungeons will be handled in this project. More passes may be in order, but I think these will do for now. Now when it comes to "Durations", or how long these effects typically last without the use of specific items like berries, some of the entries at the reference site typically gave a range of turns (e.g. 10 - 15 turns) when their effect is expected to end on its own. Might it be better in the long run to instead pick a single definite turn for it to end? Possibly. But for now I just went with a 20% chance for an early reprieve until the last turn.[hr]

[hr]I don't know what possessed me into arranging them in alphabetical order; I'm just gonna add more later. Anyway, because this update is on the lighter side, I wanted to address the beginnings of a potential new feature that's been on my mind for a while. Essentially, it comes down to a basic, shifting market that'll be active in the background. I'd like the prices of at least certain items to fluctuate over the course of the in-game year. Whether general shifts occur every month or more frequently, I think that this adds that extra layer of strategy to trading in general that I'd love to explore. And while those broad shifts might be relegated to RNG to a certain extent, some prices really should be tied directly to events and situations in the setting itself. I know this'll just open the biggest can of worms, just the worst slow-motion case of feature-creep you've ever seen, in other words - a total mistake. But it [i]is[/i] my mistake to make. Plus, I'd welcome the extra diversion. All the same, thank you for paying this project a visit again. Take care until next time.
