First Release!

Hi all! Napitak is a rogue-like deck building card battler that I am developing in my spare time. It started as a way to kick the tires of the DragonRuby game engine and is quickly growing into an actual design doc spreadsheet. I am hoping to expand on the ideas here with some more depth first and then some artwork, sfx, music, and polish later. 

The current core game play loop is as follows:

• Craft some potions and sock some ingredients into your inventory pouch from your alchemy lab.
• Battle a monster(only one right now)!
• Setup an alchemy workbench and craft some new potions with ingredients you have looted from the monsters you fight OR refill your current potions as they run low.

Going forward I am looking to add:

• Multi-tiered crafting system with more depth and layering so exploring the crafting options is intriguing.
• A journal to track your unlocked recipes.
• An encounter map that allows the player to choose where they are going next out of multiple proc. gen'd options.
• A penalty for your deck reshuffling (perhaps a 1-2 turn stun or something while you "rifle through your potion bag").
• An option to try to flee fights for a potential cost upon failure.
• A more clear loss-con where you can see a summary of your run with an option to quit or try again.
• Meta-progression between runs allowing upgrades for:
  • Ingredient tiers that allow for enhanced effects to be added to your potions.
  • Starting ingredient pouch size.
  • Starting HP and FP.
  • Possibly more as I iterate.
• More potions, ingredients, encounters and enemy types.
• Art, SFX, animations, and music.
