Yeah. I feel ya with the communicating stuff. I've heard a couple developmental psychologists suggest that there has been a strong decline in social skills in young people. This is actually interesting, as it goes hand in hand with a steep increase in anxiety disorders and depression. It reminded me of what i'd learned about how we learn. And how one cannot really empathise as well when one outscources interactions to the internet. I wonder if error related negativity can trigger high enough of a response on the internet to initiate a change of behavior and thereby learning. If the neural response is in fact lower as we cannot mirror our opposites emotions as well online, this would explain a problem in social skills in our and younger generations. If we then assume that relatively bad social skills(for your age) can be related to insecurity with social situations...
Kinda funny how i'm an absolute internet addict that starts to actually question it quite a bit.
As for the game:
I feel like the way the characters are positioned behind each other might actually hide them behind each other. So it might be best to actually break them up a bit perhaps in a formation like:
------2--------------2----------
5------------------------------5
------1------vs------1---------
4------------------------------4
------3--------------3----------
That way the characters might have a little more room for themselves. I mean you're already doing this in part. But currently it's more like
10----5----------5----10
9-----4----------4-----9
8-----3--- vs----3----8
7-----2----------2-----7
6-----1----------1-----6
What you displayed there looked a bit clogged. I understand the desire to go for bigger battles, but but this can go at the cost of general overview. It might be better actually going for waves, as when you increase the number of combatants, you not only diminish the impact each singular character has on the fight, in addition to their visual representation in it. This wouldn't be a problem if this were a massive battle in which individuals don't play a role. But in a heroic story, going for too many characters and having them in each others space just diminishes each individuals impact.
