This is a showcase of a reworked event from the mod I am making.
The mod will be called The Ultimate Fix - it is a mod to the Ultimate Modpack for LISA: The Pointless.
It aims to rework, rewrite and rebalance the game to bring it up at least to the high standard that original Pointless presented.

In this video you can see various changes. Here are ones I want to point out: - Toned down visuals of Imp's location - original has extreme issue with things cluttering the screen. I sensibly removed around a half of that clutter. - Reworked the Idol - original asks you to hump the idol 20 times and rewards you with a "shove" skill for Alex. In my mod "Shove" is a lvl1 skill, while Idol rewards with "Steadfast" Stance for defeating 4 bosses. Can you guess which are those from the descriptions? - Rewritten dialogue - original dialogue was poorly formatted, it spewed walls of text, disregarding temp and readability. I rewrote and reformatted the dialogue to be easy to read and "ingest" and added pauses and character movement - small details that help the scene to look better. (Noticed couple of issues and mistakes after uploading - already fixed them) - Reworked characters showcase: You can see Darry and Georgy using new skills. Notably you can see that Georgy now is a TP-based character instead of SP. He also now deals proper damage, instead of pathetic values vanilla Pointless had, so he is actually a valuable party member.

Interesting, ambitious stuff you got going here, man. Have you considered maybe collaborating with the modpack devs on this stuff, at least in regards to the writing? As someone that frequents the discord, the devs seem like a chill bunch that wouldn't be averse to an extra helping hand.

Thanks! I don't really feel the need to collaborate with anyone - I have planned changes and working on implementing them. When mod will be out I will be ok with them taking any parts of it into UMP (ideally the whole thing, lol), with proper credits, of course.

Are the Defense skills only for showcase or are they gonna be part of the full fix? If yes, are the fights gonna be harder to balance out the fact all party members can heal themselves, dodge, or even revive others, without using items? If no, will there be more support based skills? I'd like to see Cannabis or Darry become more support based considering how many damage-focused characters are in the UMP

Yes, defense skills are to stay. Their point is: - Dodge is what I think should be an always available ability, like defend, because it's a basic tool of dealing with special attacks, while disabling the enemy requires setting it up. According to that approach I gave every dodge a single turn duration and no cost. As it doesn't progress combat (doesn't deal damage), it is a neutral move and I don't think that it's availability can harm balance. - Healing and reviving are what I also consider must have abilities, as they make characters self-sustainable, which is what I think is one of the most important aspects in turn-based combat games. They have drawbacks like disabling the character for 2 turns and their point is being an emergency options - specific skills and items have immediate effects without drawbacks, so they are better, while "treat wounds" and "revive" require certain conditions, like making sure that recovering character won't be hit again (meaning that you have to either control the enemy or use it as a last ditch effort and pray for success). I have given Darry quite a lot of supporting skills: - Refresh recovers certain amount of SP/TP and removes disables (like Fallen, Stun, etc). - He has a collection of buffing skills with various effects: Cheer Up increases damage, Pump Up increases crit rate and Jiggy Jigg increases speed - they can be applied again to progressively improve the effects. I guess I agree that there are very little characters who can actually heal others - only Imp has single target and mass heal. The main reason is that I don't add particularly different skills to characters in terms of animations and general character direction (except Imp, because I had to experiment with his offensive options, because I ran out of ideas), so since no character has any type of specific support animations, if I recall correctly, I don't have much opportunities to add recovery skills. So, in my opinion, having basic emergency recovery option with universal animation for each character is a good solution to this disbalance.

I understand this thinking, but you run the risk of making the game too easy and making items less useful and valuable, like Painful, Hopeful, and Vegaful did

@@deduderi5795 yeah, I am trying to balance this with restrictions on the skills, like long cooldowns and negative states applying to those that are recovering.
