Thanks I'm really excited to share this with everyone. Also I am looking forward to getting some feedback.
Captured some gifs from the video to show off the character animations. We are nearly done with adding universal support.
I was wondering would it be better to add an auto spin feature like some of those found in jackpot games? Or it is already there that I aint aware of? Just a thought.
It is something I've thought about, but I don't think it fits this game. Our spins take a bit longer then the average slot machine game because of animations and each of the encounters do not take nearly as many spins as a normal slot machine game to clear a level. It is something I will keep inconsideration if there is a demand for it.
Alrighty! Looking forward to the universal support. Right now things have been things have been looking great. It's a new take on RPG genre where if RNG comes into play. While those usually roll based off dice, we have jackpot here to take over the job. And it is also a new take on how jackpot games can be played. Question thou, the jackpot mechanic used here is totally base of RNG or similar to those settings found in jackpot game with a win lose ration attached but just being more generous here? As my test play so far I cant really determine that. Because since the base mechanic of based of the jackpot component. I think this can be rather tricky to make the game fun yet balance.
I've weighted the slot machine to provide a higher win percentage to the player. The RNG system heavily favors the players and compensates for long bad luck streaks that can occur on a slot machine. The game doesn't require any sort of currency for the basic spin. As a result, the slot machine in Spinlanders isn't built to slowly bleed the user out of their money like most video slots games.
