New demo version released with a lot of work put into the HUD! It's not final but I was anxious about putting it out and could not wait 😅 also some new mechanics and fixes! Details and devlog below. Play the demo: studio-carmim.itch.io/ardent-flame... #indiegame #indiedev #jrpg #ttrpg

One of the main additions was reusing the tooltip panel (top right) as a action forecast, revealing the rolls, percentage chances, damage range, etc. I still want to work on the formatting and alignment but it is functional for now. I'm trying to give as much info as possible without cluttering.

For now you will only see the actual percentage after using abilities to get the info from the enemy (which you only need to do once per playthrough), but I'm not sure if I'll keep it that way or not.

Another thing that now fully works is Reactions. There are many abilities that you can buy with perk points during leveling up that grant you reactions, and you can set them on Auto or Ask to be prompted when they're triggered!

Minor but useful: there is now a proper victory screen instead of just a log entry, where you can both see the XP gained and level up right there if you want. You can also always leave leveling up to do later in the Status menu.
