the beam’s damage tick thing is buggy only if the beam is not intersecting anything

also the bug would only be a huge problem if your opponent is dumb enough to stay still

what if you just put the whole map in a box like some other guy suggested so that the beam is always intersecting something

that works for now but when a full on open world map releases, this could be a problem

i cant make a box follow a player because other player’s beams would intersect it. it would be very hard to make the player’s beam ignore everyone else’s box except theirs.

or maybe i can make the beam always intersect something by adding a part in front of it

ngl im thinking if i should return fire and lightning’s shields back

i removed them for realism purposes but if that’s the case, i should gut/remove equinox because there’s no way light could kill someone in a fight

reason fire doesnt have a shield

step 1: start a fire
step 2: throw an object into/through the fire

did the object lose speed because of the fire?

(same principle applies to lightning/equinox)

I think you should replace equinox, cause it seems really out of place among the other magics

i guess yeah, equinox seems out of place (mainly because it’s 2 elements in a way fused into one)

also i pushed winged legends update

I feel like lightning shouldn’t be the fastest magic & the highest damaging other than fire. If equinox is going, maybe a replacement could be sunlight magic. Sunlight magic would give people skin cancer that kills them. It would be more dangerous than just light magic, because sunlight includes UV

HAHAHAHAHAHA RADIATION MAGIC?

lightning feels really odd rn tbh, a weirdly unbalanced magic which is super strong but loses a major feature (shields)

Another thing to consider is that sunlight that reaches the surface is less dangerous because of the atmosphere. It would be much more dangerous if you created it on earth

maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Its gimmick could be making your healing less effective, cause the cancer might grow

(i havent decided if lorewise, the people control the actual element or only a mana recreation/mimic)

what are the different races?

there’s 2 or 4, depending on if you classify them by gameplay differences or cosmetics

type 1: bird/bat

  • glide flight
  • normal hp
  • bigger

type 2: butterfly/mosquito

  • full 360 faster flight
  • less hp (maybe 50%)
  • smaller

so butterfly/mosquito would have flight like in the game right now?

yes

what’s glide flight

glide flight is something like minecraft elytra flight

I think the combat should be revamped or more attacks should be added before elements and races get added. Rn it seems like the main tradeoff is between damage and ability-to-hit, which basically results in the game boiling down to zoners vs close-up fighters

im not sure how to rework combat lol but i might add some missing features such as…

  • relative velocity
  • slowing down when casting a spell

this game is designed with aerial combat

Maybe add randomly spawning spells just an idea
