Solkarra - 2023 ModJam

Description
Description
This mod was made for the 2 week long 2023, "Year of The Gaper" modjam. It adds two characters, Solkarra and his tainted variant.

Solkarra starts with spirit sword and becomes more powerful as you kill more enemies, all enemies drop experience points which allow him to level up and gain stat boosts.

Solkarra's tainted counterpart, "The Charred" shares this level up mechanic but uses it in a different way. Due to time constraints, the tainted counterpart is not as polished as Solkarra, and is partially unfinished, but still playable.

Be warned, this mod is pretty buggy, there are no current plans for us to return to this mod.

Oh! Interesting piece of trivia.
That's awesome! ;D

@DeoxysAndMew 2 Yes that is a fun idea. If I recall correctly, the birthright was supposed to be something like that, until we started running out of time.

Hey there, its me again. I just had a great idea that you may like or may not to use the future too.
Since Solkarra is a "RPG" like character, I've had a run with him just now and ended up with an item "Holy Light".

That made me think... What if he had a chance to "CRIT" his enemies for bigger damage?!
The chance would increase with both Luck stat and Speed Stat. It can be on both regular swing and charged swing or independently depending on your choice/stats.

Its just a thought. ;)

Ah! So its another defensive spell. Gotcha! Good to have it as a back up I suppose, should you use up all offensive spells.

Sweet bro! Good luck with future endeavours on this project. I legit hope to see the polished version of it. ;D

@DeoxysAndMew 2
Thank you! The rock and green spells were last minute and rushed, so they aren't very useful. But the green one pushes enemies away from you.
Not to promise anything but we do wish to revisit this mod in the future and your criticisms are things we agree with and will be changing if we do get to doing it eventually.

As for the spell-caster, I feel like having the crit brimstone spell is a little too strong early on. Maybe learn it level 10?! For last floors and have some other reliable damage spell to take its place early on?! Given I used that "rock spell" and its kinda awful ngl.

Barely any damage, you can hurt yourself and learned so late. Its almost as bad as learning fire spin at Level 56, but Flamethrower at 34. XD

PS. What does the green spell do?! It doesnt show any effects when I use it, and cant figure it out lol.

Ok, I tried this mod and holy crap! I love this mod. Especially the tainted version, which believe me, its something I dont say very often. Many tainted characters are either not fun, artificially bloated with broken hearts for difficulty, or just flat out aint interesting.

Yours on the other hand, is amazing bro!
A spell-caster that learns spells when exp goes up is a cool idea.

So I figured I would give a little bit of constructive criticism while im at it, so perhaps it can be tweaked and improved in the future. First and foremost, it would be nice to see how many kills you need to level up, like your typical EXP bar. I remember character mod in afterbirth + Cirrus, had one. I also feel like, his level ups should give a tiny bit more damage. I dont sense that empowerment when I level up which is the whole point of growing stronger.
DeoxysAndMew 2 10 Jun, 2023 @ 4:44pm 
Oh finally! A character that's RPG based. As in, you kill stuff, you grow stronger.
Its crazy how nobody thought of that, until now.

I hope it aint too buggy. ;)
