Damage Dummy meter

Bottom-right HUD on the TEST map. Current session plus the last five snapshots, total damage/DPS, and per-skill bars tinted by job.

Combat time for DPS is last hit minus first hit. A five-second idle dropout freezes the window so standing still doesn’t inflate or deflate the rate.

# mob.gd — Dummy DPS denominator
func _dummy_elapsed() -> float:
    if _dummy_combat:
        var now := _dummy_now()
        if now - _dummy_last >= DUMMY_HOLD:
            return maxf(0.0, _dummy_last - _dummy_start)
        return maxf(0.0, now - _dummy_start)
    return _dummy_frozen_elapsed

# payload.dps = total / max(elapsed, 1.0) while live

Combat feel

Hits & floaters

Damage uses a same-tick hurtbox query — never Area2D.get_overlapping_areas(), which lags a physics step. Multi-hit skills roll on one AttackFx; floaters are world _draw nodes with interpolation off so camera motion doesn’t smear the numbers.

# damage_number.gd
static func spawn(world, global_pos, amount, kind) -> DamageNumber:
    var n := DamageNumber.new()
    n.physics_interpolation_mode = Node.PHYSICS_INTERPOLATION_MODE_OFF
    world.add_child(n)
    n.global_position = global_pos
    n.reset_physics_interpolation()
    n.setup(amount, kind)
    return n

Input & HUD

Hotbar & macros

Spellbook left-click opens detail; assign is drag-only so browsing never silently arms a slot. Macros on the bar skip only CD/MP gates and fire like a key press. Extra bars use exact Shift/Ctrl binds; LineEdit focus must not eat 1–0.

# Hotbar fire path (concept)
# Macro slot → same cast pipeline as keybind
if slot.is_macro():
    for step in slot.steps:
        if not can_pay(step):
            continue
        cast_skill(step.skill_id)
else:
    cast_skill(slot.skill_id)

Progression

Affix crafting story

Wisps add or reroll affixes; Enchanting scrolls handle dedicated rerolls. Natural affix tier bands follow the item’s REQ LVL (ilvl) — starters at 0 roll as ilvl 1 → T9 only. No full tier tables here; the idea is the rule.

# Affix ilvl = template req_level
var ilvl := maxi(1, int(template.get("req_level", 0)))
# Frostfen Edge req 30 → best T6 (pool T6–T9)
# Affix Rune req 50 → T4–T9
var band := tier_band_for_ilvl(ilvl)

Presentation

Camera & map framing

Vertical framing keeps a floor gutter so platforms don’t sit on the screen edge. Canvas size changes re-apply limits so letterboxing never eats the playable strip.

# Camera follows player with a bottom gutter
var view_h := get_viewport_rect().size.y / zoom.y
var floor_y := map_bounds.end.y
var target_y := clampf(
    player.global_position.y,
    map_bounds.position.y + view_h * 0.5,
    floor_y - view_h * 0.5 + floor_gutter_px
)
