new combat and shit

<@Scizor300> but yeah
<@Scizor300> for combat i've got a drastically different system in mind
<@Scizor300> instead of just "swing swing swing" i've got combos
<@Scizor300> with ability slots for extra combo hits and specials
<@Scizor300> so you can link ground and air combos, air to ground, etc.
<@ZarroTsu> Zesh is already drawing shit with this in mind
<@Scizor300> the ability slots can also be used for different weapon perks
<@ZarroTsu> as well as weapon guarding
<@ZarroTsu> and like 70 types of weapons regarding it all
<@Scizor300> guns will have a clip amount, with a reload time
<@Scizor300> ability slots can influence reload speed, knockback resistance from guns, and some other things<@Scizor300> leveling up will give you additional ability slots every 5th level or so
<@Scizor300> and each level up will give you one point towards the class system already present in the current h&e build
<@Scizor300> depending on what weapon you used the most during the course of that leveling
<@Scizor300> so yes i want to make the combat in terraria not a fucking boring swingfest first of all
<@Scizor300> physics come next
<@Scizor300> more momentum-based ala sonic and more built for platforming
<@Scizor300> fall damage will be adjusted to reflect that
<@Scizor300> which also ties into us absolutely needing to make the level generation smooth out the terrain, or give a 1-block step-up
<@ZarroTsu> or both that and slopes
<@Scizor300> adding slopes in will fix the former, but adding in the latter will make it easier to putting it off until later
<@ZarroTsu> an ledge climbing in general
<@Scizor300> and having the map automatically slope out the terrain
<@Scizor300> and i'm assuming terraria has little to no slope physics to supporti t
<@Scizor300> which means we need to do that
<@ZarroTsu> probably
<@ZarroTsu> I mean waterwalking seems to almost work at every pixel of depth
<@ZarroTsu> so it's doable
<@Scizor300> i'd say, seeing as zesh is apparently working towards it, we work on the combat and leveling
<@ZarroTsu> it's not like he mapped standing on a surface to only work every block height
<@Scizor300> preferably on a fresh start
<@ZarroTsu> just that it doesn't quiiiite work every pixel height
<@ZarroTsu> since sometimes you can waterwalk on lava (sense not found), and still be burned by it (sense found)

<@Scizor300> and zarro
<@Scizor300> if we recoded the game from scratch
<@Scizor300> steam release wheee
