Gameplay Changes
MEGA CHANGE
We've changed run structure. In runs you now start by picking a Villain - right now only Cynder is available but more will exist in the future. After that you pick what Book to go to from a random set of three Books picked from all available Books (there are currently 5 total Books, we plan to make more).
At the end of each book is a Miniboss. After defeating them, in the first two books you go back to the Sea of Ink briefly to choose your next Book. Again from 3 choices.
Each book should get harder over the course of the run based on the order you visit them in. So the second book should be harder than the first, etc. This is going to require a lot of new tuning, I'm sure balance is wild right now.
Finally, if you survive and complete three books, you face the Villain you chose at the start.
Cynder has been totally revamped and is now a 3-phase boss fight with a lot more mechanics.
Please check all of this out and let us know what you think.
