Version 0.3.2: Equipment Part 1

Equipment

Ero Hunters has used the same equipment since 0.1, it's time to change that. In this update I added about 50 new pieces of equipment, with each having fun effects as in Ero Dungeons. Here's a view of some new equipment in the game's data editor: 

Balance: I've also written out balance rules for all equipment. These are the expected bonuses that all items give depending on their slot. Most normal slots give 20 to a stat per upgrade with larger drawbacks for larger upgrades. Some slots like boots, socks, and armwear give smaller bonuses. Others generally don't give any bonuses at all such as the cuffs or blindfold apart from compliance.

As an example, here are the bracers. In general their health bonus goes from 2-10, while the drawbacks also increase.

Divine Sets: There are now unique techs that depend on the deity you choose when embarking for an island. These grant access to unique divine sets with interesting synergies. Here's Ada wearing Corvinia's set. The colors of the outfit are actually animated as the game now supports shaders as equipment colors.

Next

I've also done some testing for puppets for the more complex races. In Ero Dungeons these were created manually in-engine. It was a mess, but it worked since they were enemies and only required a couple of animations. Now they need access to all animations that the normal human puppets have since roles and equipment are interchangeable.

I'll go into more detail in the next devlog, but the spidergirls are coming along nicely, and should be ready next week:
