Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@FlitterFaux Credits is a "currency" you can earn through completing missions given to your team in IC (right now it's family day so no missions atm) or participating in Heroes of Beacon Contests and placing high enough for a contest- and very occasionally, the contest gives you free credits for participating. In the first page of the OOC, there's a Conference Doc that has info on what kinds of upgrades or things you could get with credits.

Another form of currency is Lien, but that reflects more on your character's wealth than anything.

EDIT: snow tl;dr'd this long-ass post below

@FlitterFaux That would depend on your definition of "dumb AI."

IMO, all forms of AI would be capable within what they are tasked to do, it's just reliant on the AI's simplicity or complexity. If it's a turret, its primary focus is to shoot things. If it's a turret that moves, it's probably going to focus on just shooting things anyway, but with the addition of movement hardwired into its actions. How it is programmed to act in a battle should be up to you, because not all AIs of the same field would necessarily perform exactly the same, even if there are, say, two different turrets that can move.

I'm going to be updating the Char tab again after I finish some drawing and etc (and that's gonna take a while). The next update should include some Misc. characters, and also another Senior team (I remembered after Snow brought up Sarina).

I've also been thinking about experimenting with glowing team fonts based on the team leaders' Colors to make the teams more distinct from each other, but I'm still testing the waters for that.

@HereComesTheSnow I meant first-year students rather than Seniors or etc, though I guess Seniors do count (senior lives matter). The Jericho/Lauren example is what I was particularly talking about because both are first-years.

I originally thought Piper was a special exception because he was the only "second" character that existed, and there was a lot of talk about his inclusion. I guess this just means I have to read harder in general.

@SevenStormStyle wtf i literally didn't see this before

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

That reminds me.

Is the official player character limit still one? Just making sure because FlitterFaux brought it up.

@FlitterFaux don't worry, people still make trash rpg maker games and upload it on steam as paid games

In fact some people don't even bother to avoid using the stock characters included with the game
