Sorry I'm a impatient little bugger. So again sorry for the wall on the comment page. Also you fixed something I was going to mention already. I was going to ask why her bow drained sanity when getting nightmare fuel for her is going to be annoying thanks to her sanity aura.. Though the maxwell method would work.. If you have people picking them for you and then getting their sanity back on you. Since I haven't seen her naturally regaining her own sanity.

@Holya666, No problem. Though it is a wall of text lol.

I appreciate some of your suggestions but I still cannot make a corrupted Madoka as, Yes, I see this from an Open server perspective.

But on your other suggestions, I do like the idea of ressing from her soulgem but I need to think that one over because it can also be abusable.

The bow was indeed changed from HP+Hunger rather than Sanity because I didn't want nightmarefuel to be easily obtainable. Also her Sanity Aura does not give sanity to herself, only to others.

Hmm balancing her completely around a open server makes her sanity aura a abuse-able thing as well. Since some characters actually perform at their best when they are fluctuating from insane to sane. Like Maxwell for example. His sanity regen makes his play style to where you have to force yourself insane or you get evil flower farms. Because he is solely based around nightmare fuel for the most part. Just like some character do more damage when insane or have better states when insane. Its situational.

Thats why I try and help balance around the core mechanics and fun.. Well not fun in as you aren't going to die a horrific and brutal death but fun as in the playability.

But back to open server perspective. You can cheese a lot of the mechanics in the game when you start getting sanity aura characters. Thats why balancing to open/other mods is normally a pain in the back side. Because if I'm being honest I've already thought up a few ways to abuse her sanity aura. That is abusing base game mechanics involving bees and just one evil flower.

But off the topic of abusing game mechanics and systems. Can't her own weapon kill her now? If its eating health and hunger. I mean you could have kept it sanity and made her egg provide her with sanity as long as you kept ir above 50% since I am assuming that you are doing this by a flat everything takes a single point from the gem's durability system.

@Holya668, Yes her Bow can kill her now. This was intended so we don't have another Zoro fiasco. (A.k.a, I can kill everything If I spam my range attack hard enough). This will make characters think if spamming the bow is really worth it.

I don't want to give the bow the sanity penalty as I already stated that It can abusable.

I do understand theres probably other ways to cheese easy nightmare fuel but they take longer: standing in the dark, eating Dark Flowers, standing right next to deerclops.

There's also not a lot of Sanity Aura characters in the workshop, unless you spam your server with Madokas that is. If push comes to shove, I'll make the sanity aura so miniscule that it'd take you a whole day just to bring up sanity by 5 points.

Also can remove your wall-of-text and transfer it over here? Just to keep the comment section clean is all :P.

Oh no. You misunderstand. The reverse maxwell method. Max can't go insane. Literally he can't. So he needs nightmare flower farms. Four flowers make a nightmare fuel. Since she doesn't regain her own sanity she can have others pick and give them back sanity with da snuggles.

Considering she needs nightmare fuel to be viable and the only way to get nightmare fuel without cheesing the system so you force insanity or have other mods installed is to get the caves.. (Yes Kyle I am talking to you.. I want my damn caves back! ) Then her sanity draining bow wasn't really a issue. I mean her Gem already drains health when it goes black correct? That means if no one goes insane and she is being played even without using the bow you end up at that situation where you ether have to force your self insane or have someone else go insane. That or hope you already have the nightmare flower farms going to make mass nightmare fuel. Since wandering bees and two evil flowers can cause mass evil flower spreed. That or have a friend die and haunt flowers for you.

But really there isn't a character to date that doesn't have something abuse able about them. It's just the fact that their aren't many who would put the thought into finding the little juicy abuse able parts of characters. So nerfing her sanity aura isn't something really needed. It all depends on if someone has the knowledge on how to play her. Each character has their own play style. Me? I can slip into any role and play style and find all the little abuse able aspects.

Side note. Not trying to argue with you or anything. But this is a open server perspective and you can't tell who is playing who so you could end up with multiple copies of characters. Kyle really needs to get on that. Something to tell you if their are already people playing this character. But again she is really good for how new she is. Updates and edits to characters come out the longer they exist. Trust me I know. I helped with Wilmore and that character had over I think 140 updates and edits. Some not documented.

Moved at the request of our fair lady.
If no one gets this quote.. Then I feel a deep hollowness for all who shall never know the rage of true flames.

Not really I've had situational characters worse then that when playing with friends. Greifing is a issue on any public server. Its the wild west out there. Since when you have a OPEN server someone could just join make a torch in a few seconds and start lighting ♥♥♥♥ on fire. The webber greif is harder because of how spider coding is. Sure it would be annoying at the now but when they hit tier three the spider queens wouldn't leave an egg behind since their would be to many in the local area. Honestly how spiders work in general is wonky since they can naturally take over a world if you aren't tending to them.

That and I never said remove the down sides. She would be draining sanity but the constant nightmare spawning would mean she was constantly at risk of being killed from her empowered witch state. It would give you that suicide option of becoming the god bow to take out a giant or some other dangerous enemy but possibly at the cost of your life since you would be under constant attack and your stats would ether be draining or possibly just set to a lower max all around.

Though would it have been possible for her to revive from her egg? Lets say you die but someone feeds it back to being pure. Could she haunt it and come back since the body is well a shell and the egg is the soul/life line for them?

Still balancing around greifing is hard.. So I understand your plight. Reduce building cost = wall spam around the portal so they are trapped there. Creature crafting = hostile things around portal. Honestly its so easy to greif in this game that balancing for it is.. Normally a moot point. Since the best way to avoid said greifing is setting a friend or invite only server. Though never balance to pvp.. Because I still do not understand the point of pvp in this game.

I appreciate your input as it brings insight on what needs to be tinkered, I'll look back at your comments if I need a brainstorm anything that needs to be adjusted accordingly. Thanks for giving your time on what you think needs to be done.

For now though, since this character just released, we'll let her settle with the stats I give her for atleast a week before I decide if theres anything that needs tweaking.

Do what ever you think is best. Your character. I'm just a voice upon the wind that drifts though and talks even if it is not wanted. So don't let anyone push you around or bully you into changing what is your little brain child. After all its your and if they don't like that then let then learn lua and make their own characters.

I wonder, will Madoka be given unique dialogue lines? Instead of just Wilson's lines? I think it would help improve the mod immensely if she has her own unique dialogue set. Also, what about her ghost? Will it remain a basic ghost, or will you give it a little extra? Like Madoka's hair ribbons when she's a ghost?

@WilliamGreywind, Honestly It'd be by Comissioners decision but I can understand dialouge can make a character stand out. Unfortunately I don't know how Madoka talks honestly lol.

Ah, I see. Well, I hope your commissioner is open to such suggestions like that. But I understand if such things won't happen.

Imagine someone hopped up on hope and joy.. Only to have to watch all your friends die.. Become monsters, or go insane.. Then throw in some emotional drama and you have Madoka. Now if he had you make kyubbi.. Oh that would be some dialogue I would enjoy writing.

I was looking to commission, but i'm not sure how to go about it. I do know Silhh was asking for $60 on her Deviant art page per character. Not sure if that was just for the artwork or for both the artwork and the getting it in game. Would you be able to clear that up?

Her Artwork and Custom Character are both seperate things.

60$ per character.

10$ For her art comission I believe.

Unless you meant the Character Portrait+Character, in which, Is still just 60$.

Then we'd have to check if I even have the ability to code your character. Anything that sounds too complicated are generally declined.

We also generally only accept characters that we both enjoy looking at. Adorable girls. OCs and Male characters have a low chance getting by us unfortunately. We just like making Kawaii things into a reality.
