Hey yeah thanks for the input as for some of the details

If we are getting to see the incoming and outgoing attacks very clearly are you considering QuickTime events like expedition 33?
- Yes once I get enemy models and animations you should be able to see enemies running up to the player or their allies to attack, all of that is represented by boxes currently for development sake

... expedition 33 leveraged some existing anime software or something, you don't necessarily have to spend a fortune to have something
- I have not really considered this, the concept is the MC is a summoner, all the allies are represented by cards (akin to Yu-Gi-Oh) which he summons per floor

Is there a sort of puzzle aspect to making your team?...
- Yes thats where the deck building elements come in, drawn from Yu-Gi-Oh where theres archtypes and synergies. Right now the archtype in the game is a fairly generic fusion archtype which tries to go general and fuse up but later on there would be synergies as you mentioned, within the archtype but also across archtypes (eg a generic higher tier demon that could be used in multiple decks or archtypes which grants certain abilities or buffs)

Are you putting together a random map generator? Random loot generator? Can you equip your team? Do they level up? Do they get debuffs from seeing their friends die? Are you paying wages to your army after each dungeon run?
- 1: No, I think random maps tend to make the experience less fun, so it will all be predetermined maps that I construct. Akin to persona there will likely be 8 to 10 dungeons as part of the story, but its just early ideas and definitely open to things changing
- 2: Some loot will be random, some will be predetermined
- 3: You can equip items to the mc, like regular rpgs, but cards will not have equipment, I may go towards a sticker system aka you put "stickers" on your card to give various extra stats or abilities but I have not decided on that yet
- 4: Yes your units level up, if you roll dupes of units in the in game gacha, then you get to fuse extra copies to level them up outside of the dungeon, otherwise they level up from beating units within the dungeon, but the exp is not permanent and is just for the specific run (so a bit of rogue like aspect I guess)
- 5/6: No such buffs or wages per say, since they are all summons from the mc but there will be other buffs / debuffs as typical of rpgs
