Bug Fables Plus - New Fire Medals

[@ianleather5699]

I love how well the medals themselves match the artstyle of the other medals

[@antehman2912]

I tried really hard to think of cool designs for everything and working to tweak it to look really nice, but all the credit goes to Bry for actually drawing everything and making it all pop :) it’s a fun design process

[@Kike2205]

Yeah, that was a great job!

[@kyleeeee_c]

The animation of Phoenix was so beautiful

[@antehman2912]

bruh me and Lyght scraped that shit together using existing sound effects and assets but it turned out amazing. I thought of using leif’s bubble shield recolored to be red to be the egg, and using yin’s cutscene for the egg cracking sounds, and I basically scavenged around the files for sound effects glad you liked it! It took a lot of work not to constantly bug out

[@JezElectro13]

I love the Lava Bubble Shield during the Pheonix revive animation

[@bestaround3323]

Phoenix might want to have a cap on it. The medals seem high risk high reward. Likely to get you killed just as much as the enemy.

[@benji-menji]

I think it would be cool if all bugs have the effect but only has a chance to activate so you can't get what you want.

[@ED-gw9rg]

​@@benji-menjiHonestly if it only heals 2 on revive, having it guaranteed to proc on the whole team still leaves it in a niche spot. Even with Abombinations, you run the risk of enemies walking up to you and finishing off Burning/Phoenix'd bugs with...literally any attack they have?

[@benji-menji]

Items are just as important as the medals so if you can add some new recipes I think it could be great. I think the status removal can be more interesting with fire strats because fire is really dangerous so making fire removal a resource would be great.

[@antehman2912]

I was thinking of making burn only curable by Clear Water and Clear Bombs because no one cares about those items and that would give them a good niche.

[@chrisrodriguez1308]

@@antehman2912 Smart But I wonder If its possible to add Recipes to the game. Is it not possible or not yet figure out?

[@antehman2912]

It’s definitely possible to add recipes to the game, although we haven’t done so yet. It’s not a top priority rn because I did a pass through for every item in the game and buffed them all (and nerfed the broken stuff a little) to be unique, so there’s going to be a LOT of items no one ever considered being viable.

[@benji-menji]

@@antehman2912 Perfect!

[@JezElectro13]

These medals, and the mod itself, are so fire!

[@lucuador1992]

I'm glad something was done with the fire status. I was genuinely shocked when my team got on fire.....at the literal end of the game.

[@dinoman_5939]

cant wait to see all the other medals in the future i’d love to see a medal that can cause sticky to an enemy that can use items like Wasp King, Team Slacker, etc.

[@abirdflying5675]

How's the development going? Do you have a discord server or such where you share your progress? Lovin' the innovation you're bringing to the game, btw.

[@LyghtBF]

Got back into it about a month ago. I'm hoping to have something out for playtesting at least soonish. I do have a discord server but its private rn.

[@benji-menji]

Here is a new effect: Perfection - A Hidden Status: Bugs not in danger or pareil that have taken no hits regardless of damage and have been under no negative statuses are considered perfect and activate effects for perfect bugs. Medals, items, or other effects can take advantage of this to bring many boons or curses upon perfect or imperfect bugs. This is kind of a variation of danger strats but less abusable and probably more interesting while not being as dangerous (unless specified :). It could synergise with medals like leif cloak to prevent bugs from being targeted. Unstable Attack - Medal: Gives equipped perfect bug +1 attack but causes an explosion when they become imperfect while in battle.

[@mistarcake]

I am sure you have been asked this several times in the past, but have you gotten to the point of releasing these new medals anywhere yet? They seem interesting to play with.

[@LyghtBF]

I'm still working on it. I should probably upload some sort of update tho haha

[@Colotov]

still holding out hope these modded medals gets released one day

[@maxter4442]

When will these mods available? kind of want to try it out

[@JezElectro13]

i saw a lot of other new custom medals. When will you do video about them?

[@thewanderingchelmet]

So much effort this is cool!

[@june9914]

Frostbite + ignited mite sounds pretty funny

[@benji-menji]

The problem I see with this set is that only one medal is the only way to inflict fire on enemies making some medals worthless without wildfire or enemies that inflict fire in the endgame. It's such a one note strategy that it doesn't seem very fun to mess with or expand after using it once. Unless there are moves, items, or character that inflicts fire then the strat isn't very interesting. This is all assuming that there is very few interesting side grade or sub builds with fire.

[@LyghtBF]

forgot to mention blazing needles but theres that right now to inflict fire, showcased it in my first mod video

[@benji-menji]

@@LyghtBF Fair enough. I wonder though if you can make so almost any strategy used still keeps the game interesting and thoughtful rather than having just one answer. I want to make choices with consequences in battle so progressing my strategy isn't always the answer. One more thing, if you want fire to be more interesting, change fire to always deal more damage every turn it hits without the medal and make fire stack when reinflicted. That way fire can be really dangerous to slow strats while being a slow strat itself against bosses inflicted with fire. Plus it can endanger your team from wildfire or just playing the game without a way to cure them.

[@antehman2912]

It’s actually one of the more fun strategies to use because it’s one of the *least* one note-ish. It is completely random, and the variance can get quite out of control quickly. It’s fun to manage your bugs burns while keeping it on your enemy. While the other statuses are usually “apply status and forget until you need to reapply it,” burn status is a constant threat that you manage, and it’s very satisfying to see the damage and tp stack up. You even have a lot of control in how you use the medals -You could let fire build up damage to instantly put a bug into danger for a strat (even while they are bubble shielded) -you could let someone tank damage from it for tp -you can use it to activate favorite one you can combine it with ice builds in some ways currently, too - to take more damage with ignited mite, and reflect more of that damage back -to use cyrostasis (new medal) to prevent the enemy from naturally curing from burn, so it can build up with heating up Overall there’s a lot of room for experimentation, but I can see about adding another medal that pushes that a bit more

[@benji-menji]

@@antehman2912 My first impressions might have been wrong. I haven't thought too far into it so you got me. I was worried about it though because poison is definitely one note because it has little to no risk overall without seeking higher power level builds which isn't nessasary in casual gameplay. Once the mod comes out hopefully the Bug Fables gameplay loop becomes more interesting with this mod.

[@antehman2912]

@@benji-menji yeah poison is broken asf we are nerfing it and adding some stuff to it as well

The Peril strat

[@JezElectro13]

One singular Fire Resistance as filler could be... is saying nice or neat still appropriate if it wouldn't be all that useful?

[@sacripan4425]

that's what I call playing with fire

[@JadeiteMcSwag]

"Each turn a random ally or enemy will be set on fire" 😨😨😨😨

[@kenzoo21]

Looks awesome

[@aegisScale]

I must say these are very funny.

[@benji-menji]

Is it possible to revamp confusing moves like Frost Relay and other game mechanics to be easier to understand fully. I saw the video on how confusing Frost Relay and I think it would be better if it acted more like you could understand it would. Builds would be easier to make and would reduce confusion for less bright players so they can understand the mechanics faster instead of dwelling on one thing and taking away their enjoyment.

[@kylestubbs8867]

Yeah, it’s strange that “Frost Relay” can dip below 1 damage per turn… supposedly to emulate “Power Bounce” in a game that already has “Tornado Toss”, both of which set a floor if the first hit does damage.

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

Where are these mods available? The idea is cool but I don't like that Wildfire is so random, particularly since all the other medals are so high-risk. Which bug gets burnt first by the constantly-increasing, damage-amplifying debuff is a really important thing to leave up to chance, and I think it undermines how tactical you can be with these medals.

[@LyghtBF]

Not available publicly yet

[@distortionex438]

Are there any resources to Bug Fables Modding? Any way I could use some custom medals in a playthrough?

[@LyghtBF]

Not really. I got back into it recently and im hoping to have something out soonish (atleast in beta)

[@dimthedimwit7221]

man im glad i spent an hour getting distracted cuz otherwise i wouldnt have seen this comment :D

@@jonathantonner4263 thank you, still working on it :)

It can feel somewhat unbalanced if you think about it.

Where can i get these mods too?

[@ord3r781]

Sorry to ask, but I feel like I've looked everywhere and still can't find where to get any of the mods you use/made. Do you mind telling me where to look?

havent released it publicly yet
