<p>A skill is defined as a <a href="">JSON file</a> housed at res://res/text/skills/. Its filename is its base id, and all data and keywords are expressed through JSON. <br></p>

<h2>structure </h2>
<p>A skill is defined as a <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/docs/skill-json">JSON file</a> housed at res://res/text/skills/. Its filename is its base id, and all data and keywords are expressed through JSON. <br></p>
<br>
<p>A SkillEquip contains a skill's base id. SkillEquips are housed at Skillbar/Skill SlotX's skill variable and the entity's arsenal. <br></p>
<br>
<p>A SkillEquip contains a DMV. A DMV handles the flow of the skill and collects skill data, including its tags. <br></p>
<br>
<h2>logic </h2>
<p>Every skill is built from a JSON dictionary, and its functionality is built from a list of nested dictionaries. <br></p>
<br>
<p>At ready, the SkillBase singleton uses the JSONreader singleton to convert all the JSON files into an array of skill dictionaries, accessed using the desired skill's base id. <br></p>
<br>
<p>A character's skill library's skill_library holds an array of all the base_ids for the skills he knows. When a skill is learned, it is added to the skill_library and passes the skill and the character through the MessageBus to the LearnSkill event handler. <br></p>
<br>
<p>The LearnSkill handler instances a SkillEquip and adds it to the character. The character entity appends the SkillEquip to its skill_arsenal and adds it as a child to the SkillBase. If the character has an empty slot on his skillbar, the skill is equipped onto the character. The character's Skillbar/Skill SlotX's skill variable holds the SkillEquip. <br></p>
<br>
<p>The character decides to use a skill. The character find_skill(slot index) returns the SkillEquip, whose use method takes the skill's dealer and taker. <br></p>
<br>
<p>If it doesn't fail, the SkillEquip creates a cooldown timer and sets cooling to true and sets up and enters its DMV. <br></p>
<br>
<p>The DMV publishes 'skill_used' along with {id,dealer,taker}. Then it runs the activation time, consumes the skill cost, adds its tags, then registers the skill. <br></p>
<br>
<p>Skill registry at the DMV involves registering each keyword and its activation requisites. <br></p>
<br>
<p>If the keyword is an 'if', it parses the keyword's conditional statement, it registers the accompanying "then" keyword. Ifs are one-time conditionals, so if it's not true at registry, the whole keyword chunk misses its chance. <br></p>
<br>
<p>If the keyword is 'when', it generates a 'when' event handler from res://skills/keyword/when/when.tscn and connects the 'happened' signal to registering the accompanying then keyword. Tags are added for the 'when', support for removal by tag is set up, and the 'when' is entered. <br></p>
<br>
<p>'When' has a 'repeat', so it can trigger as many times as desired. Once is the assumed 'repeat', and -1 is an infinite repeat. The 'when' subscribes to its signal and provides itself as the handler. If it's conditional signal is just 'duration', a timer is set up and publishes to 'duration'. When the desired signal triggers, it verifies whether the full conditions of the 'when' are satisfied and should emit a 'happened' (and the DMV should register 'then'). If 'repeat' - 1 isn't 0, it goes around again. <br></p>
<br>
<p>If the keyword is 'expire', it frees the relevant keyword. <br></p>
<br>
<p>If the keyword is 'refresh', it resets the relevant keyword. <br></p>
<br>
<p>If the keyword is just a 'keyword', it instances the relevant keyword object, tags it, sets up removal by tag, adds it as a child, then enters it, doing whatever special code the keyword does. <br></p>
<br>
<h2>challenges/known issues </h2>
<p>Skill stuff -> character level but maybe should be entity level <br></p>
<br>
<p>I think every character has a skill equip for every known skill in his arsenal. Is that too many? Should one copy be on the SkillBase? <br></p>

<p>Blessfrey is a 2D action rpg with a dual-job system which will determine the skill pool from which you will build your skillbar. Your AI companions will have skillbars of their own to edit, so think in terms of teams in order to defeat bosses and solve puzzles. Barely any class progression decisions are permanent, so you can experiment and express your playstyle. <br></p>

<h3>jobs </h3>
<p>Blessfrey jobs are equivalent to RPG classes. Your first job is a permanent decision which you will make early in gameplay. You will be able to unlock the rest and more during gameplay as side gigs. You can only have one side gig at a time, but you can always swap it outside of combat areas. <br></p>

<br>
<br>
<p>Each job has its own skill pool. Each skill is assigned to a job trait (similar to an RPG attribute). Each character has a set number of trait points they can use to raise job traits and the effectiveness of their associated skills. You gain more trait points through leveling up, but traits can be raised or lowered at will. Experiment to find your specialization! <br></p>

<br>
<br>
<p>Your first job offers an exclusive trait called a job perk. It is not only tied to the effectiveness of related skills but also provides a constant buff. You can use the skills of your side gig's perk-related skills, but you cannot raise their effectiveness nor gain the buff. Perks are what distinguish characters from each other. <br></p>

<h3>skills</h3>
<h3>skills</h3>
<p>Skills are individual powers that modify entities in the world of Blessfrey. They can launch fireballs, protect against incoming damage, spawn items or minions, teleport characters, reveal more UI details, and more. Your skillbar only has 8 skill slots and can only be edited in safe areas. The challenge comes from discovering effective strategies and synergies. Many of the same skills will be available to the player and enemy characters alike, so you must learn how to both use and counter each skill. <br></p>

<p>Legless the Cat is the first demo. It has nothing to do with the game, but it's an important exercise for exporting and embedding an HTML5 game.

<p>Legless the Cat is the first official demo. It has nothing to do with the game, but it's an exercise in exporting and embedding an HTML5 game. It also lets my kitty be in his own videogame! So cute. <br></p>
<br>
<p>As for the first real demo, I am currently creating a vertical slice of the game, focusing on a robust presentation of the skill system. This demo will be more of a tech demo than a game. It will feature 3 demo areas, and you will receive a bingo card directing you to try a smattering of what the full game will have to offer. <br></p>
<br>
<p>The next demo will demonstrate the game's faction system and AI, presenting more as a cutscene with unpredictable outcomes. A couple of different AI groups will wander around a map, intersect, then attack or aid according to affiliation. The faction system is rather complex, so I need to isolate it for testing purposes. <br></p>
<br>
<p>I think at this point, I will be able to put out a real demo. Demo #3 is going to be a level from the full game, introducing Rune and his multiphase boss fight. <br></p>
<br>
<br>
<p>If I can do that, I'll definitely be ready to make chunks of the game until the entire thing is complete. <br></p>
<p>I worked on a version of Blessfrey for years, made a lot of mistakes, learned a lot of design practices and programming techniques, and ended up with an unmanageable mess. I'm starting over from scratch and ironing out the skill system (the most important element of gameplay) first this time. <br></p>
