The promised update!

Alrighty! So there it is, the promised update for getting the Kickstarter over the $8k goal! Huzzah!

I should also say that my intention with summoners is to make it so they’re a very powerful class with a really high skillcap. I think the idea of being plugged into a game directly allows you to design some cool ideas–like, instead of how much your processor can handle, how much can you, mentally, handle? So I imagine summoning something to be a very complex bit of puppetry, whereby the user has to directly think about what the avatar is doing while making sure that they themselves stay out of harm’s way.

In this way,I imagine that summoners could easily solo mobs, but might find a bit of trouble in a group scenario where they would have to spend a few minutes uninterrupted and unharmed to get themselves fully set up. High skillcap, but high reward. But still probably way too overpowered for a real game…but hopefully fun to read/experience in a comic setting =)

Once again, I will be at Anime Central this weekend in the dealer’s room. Make sure to come by, say hi, etc! ^^
