Drilling into some details
Added 2020-08-05 18:12:51 +0000 UTCHey guys! Today I've been working on this task from the MFAGA plan:
Unclear game mechanics. The mechanics of skills & dice rolls feel 85% complete – they’re complete enough for me personally to make them work, but not solid enough for contributors to use.
My main work today was on the skill list: it was a totally confused mess, with entries that were duplicates, conflicted, or were useless.
It's important to get this right, because skill rolls are how the heroine interacts with the game world; if the skill list is muzzy, then contributing writers can't fully plan out their scenes.
- I cleaned up the list, refining it to a set of useful skills at a level of granularity I'm happy with
- After some reflection, I cut the overly complex and part implemented "Skill Families" mechanic
- I also streamlined the Secondary Attributes mechanics, and made some related tweaks to the Kinks
I shared the work in progress doc with the team earlier, and expect to finish this task tomorrow, when I'll publish some more details for your feedback. See you then!

Safety inspection: bump cap, over-eyeglasses safety specs, hair short/restrained, ear studs, no shirt, probable lack of pants & protective footwear. Looks good to me! Time for some Benny Benassi.
