Battle Damage Progression

Here's a cut vid of the change over from uninjured to 1 to 2:

on average, there's 7-9 minutes between costume changes

As of yet, Tender is only level 27, but this the planned progression of battle damage for her. Injury level 2 and 3 use red sparks (combat only for 2) for bleeding. Level 4 and 5 will use clunker path for major bleeding (4 will be combat only)

In addition, the bind files used to control when and how often she downgrades from one level to the next include shuffling some of the keyboard commands so that she starts behaving erratically the longer she's played

starting from initial, it takes two uses of rage (by keyboard, not mouse) before she starts getting into the files that will possibly take her from one level to the next

when she's in that part of the programing she starts to chat

what she says depends on what behavior she's currently exhibiting

if she's wading (switching targets), it's general things like "Who's next"

if she's annoyed (focused and following), it's specific like "Are you a flea, $target?"

At uninjured state, she only switches behavior when I press the "H" key

At level 2, she occasionally switches behavior, but it is uncommon to rare

again, there are two buffer files to prevent immediate moving from one costume to the next, triggered on rage

given rage recharges in roughly 3-4 minutes, that means there's a long period when she stays in the new level of injury.

at level 3, I've found the only sure way to make sure she's hitting what I want her to hit is if that is the only target on the screen and in range

also, at level 3, she has started to mix the two basic behaviors into a third.

what'll happen is that she'll get annoyed, triggering a "Follow" command and then switch to wading, meaning she hit whatever is nearest to her, while still following the original target

assuming I give her her lead and she doesn't just switch annoyance to a new target, this results in her pausing in the chase, smashing something, going back to the chase, pause, smash, back to chase, until she reaches her original target and starts smashing him

given the tendency this has of causing a long string of things chasing her, I've called it the "Benny Hill" behavior

Level 4 and 5 don't exist yet

I plan for level 4 to include random inspiration popping and for level 5 to include shuffling keyboard commands more, such that pressing the button for power 1 triggers power 5 or some other mismatch

or, IE: "I'm going to kick this g...or hand clap everyone away, that works"

The erratic behaviors only exist in the (currently) 68 files I use to control her in solo mode

the 34 I use for team mode use only the costume change, no behavior switch, no chat

Holy goodness that is a lot of effort to put into a single character... but I guess I gotta ask: what is her bio, and well, why all the effort?

(I will say that the last image there is simply sadistic looking. I assume that was the goal: nice.)
