Making your own games with Project Spark

[moomoose]

for my game, i went ahead and put up a rough draft for the way that characters of each class will go up in stats for each level up https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvNF3qGP3CvKdDZsb2pSeEI5TVdSMGNCWkgwV05jWkE&usp=sharing

what i am trying to figure out is how to do a balanced approach to the 'caster' classes which in their final tier become mellee.  originally i was going to have the strength of the character be boosted by a percentage of their wisdom. but the major consideration is that while a characters attack is based on one or two primary stats (strength and/or agility and/or intelligence and/or wisdom and/or presence), each characters defense is based on the attacking stat against their stats in that category- for example, a strength based attack is defended by the strength of the defending character, and a presence based attack is defended by the presence of the defending character, and a strength/dex attack is defended by the character's strength/dex, etc.  also, the casters turned mellee will need a boost to their hp to be worthwhile.

edit- also the beta will begin in the next week or two

beta started, only a few keys have gone out to the most active community members, somehow that meant me being one of them.  in any event, i will be streaming tonight and tomorrow, roughly 6pm to 11pm EST

Neat, I'll probably have that playing while I work. Will be nice to see what you do with it.

i actually switched to streaming on the official unofficial community stream, http://www.twitch.tv/projectsparkcommunity when other people aren't.

though tonight (thursday) i have an official time slot of 8pm-9pm PST, cohosting with bob, who understands brain programming as well as anyone, the goal is for it to be an educational show.

Congratulations on getting plugged in to the community. I will try to tune in to support you. That's 11pm for me, EST.
