Those are "Talents." Now, my own reaction to the video: Very slick! We'd already seen the smooth (and helpful) animations for showing off which-cards-go-where, but this has even more. The animation at 1:58, with two card suites smoothly (and HELPFULLY) swishing together . . . combined with a frame graphic? How long did it take to get those elements to work the right way? Though I need to repeat something: the sound effects are much louder than your voice. The music is just fine, but the sound effects are a bit jarring. Could you adjust the levels in future videos?
Great video. A little on the short side but that's probably a good thing if you're going to make these videos regularly. Keep them coming. Side note: I've told several people about this game. Several have signed up for the beta. I wonder how many people have signed up for the beta, any plans on letting us know? I think the response Card Hunter has gotten has been very positive and I'd guess that the beta signups reflect this.
Almost fainted when I saw all the items....that's a lot of work for the wiki Now, I also see some boot items (around 0:18) which do not come in pairs ?? And then some items that come in more than 2 ?? Like 2 shields ? and 3 helms ? If I'm not mistaken, it means you have many qtys of the same item, right ? In that case, what would happen if I'm an item collector with say, 50 Clubs of devastation ? Is there an upper limit as to per item collection per account ? Just curious...
There's currently no limit on your item collection. That might change before we ship though, since it obviously creates some potential performance issues.
By performance issue, do you mean the graphic lag due to flash render ? If so, throwing all the items with the equip art and a qty var in a sortable table should resolve ? That would allow players to hoard items if they wish to buy more adventurers or trade. Or pay a premium for item space ? Since items are a key resource here, the caps/limits could very well lead to issues that affect the game's survivability.
The render isn't too bad at the moment, since some recent work with the new scrollbars stops it rendering items that are offscreen. Still, everything we do with items gets a bit slower for every new item in someone's collection, eg sending the item iist to the player, sorting the items, filtering them, arranging their layout. There's a lot of scope for optimising these processes, so hopefully that'll get us through any performance issues we encounter.
