Ki Struggles and More!!

Well, Ki Struggles have been fully implemented into the game along with the AI side of the struggle. As far as my testing goes against an NPC, the Ki Struggle System appears to be flawless thus far. But, who knows what will come up once the game gets into Alpha and Beta testing. More on that later.

I have also introduced into the game a complete hunger and thirst system. They do affect you when it comes to fighting, so you need to stay on top of these. The current strength and dexterity modifiers are as follows:

40% and below - 0.3
10% and below - 0.6
0% - 0.9

With those modifiers, if you had 200 strength and dexterity and your thirst and hunger were at 40% or lower, your fighting strength and dexterity would actually be at 140. If your thirst and hunger were at 10% or lower, then your fighting strength and dexterity would be at 80. Thirst and Hunger also affect your Fatigue stat, so if you become overly fatigued your toon will begin to breathe heavily and you will not be able to move until you rest.

So, as you can see, Hunger and Thirst play a significant part in your fighting abilities. There will be many different types of food and drink such as: pies, berries, apples, oranges, rice, ramen, steak, chicken, pork, beer, sake, water, juice, electrolyte enhanced water, and more. There will also be a few different ways to obtain food such as: gathering, hunting, or buying it from a store. As of right now Sensu Beans are the cure-all meaning that they will restore all of your power, ki, thirst, hunger, and fatigue. This being the case with sensu beans, they are extremely hard to come across. The current ways to gather Sensu Beans are: Go to Korin's Tower. Korin will only have 1 or 2 every few hours. Bosses and some other Elite NPC's drop them on occasion.
