So I have been remaking Ion Engie once again and have done a proto "class upgrade" thing with one of my focuses
I was thinking that I should make the other focus into a sort of "battle engineer" playstyle
I'm not exactly sure what that means though
Technician is supposed to be a good burst damage dealer that can temporarily replace the role that the ion engie fills in its own "team" though the benefits it gives would make much more sense if negative hp regen killed the summons instead of a timer. Jugg is a pure tank, it works pretty well but it tends to run past the enemies shooting at you (Part of the dumb ai problem). The turret (class core) is supposed to decently tank and deal okay damage but not as much as the summons purely for it, right now if it randomly targets an enemy it cant shoot, it will stay that way until you kill that enemy and since it cant move it is just a distraction. For my final summon: Spec Op, it is meant to be a trash summon that will help you once every big combat encounter due to the cooldown being so low, right now I think it does not have enough HP and deals too much damage.
Certain enemies (Shotgunners) have a tendency to complexly ignore your summons and head right for you
It is slightly frustrating
Slightly scuffed class perk
So I have a dilemma right now, class core by default is rmb which makes much more sense as an ability you can shoot instead of this reload ability
Should I make my class core the specialization again?
I also feel like I should make more abilities that increase heat instead of being able to change mobility and special
The rest of the classes right now only have 1 thing you can change
and I would like that to be a theme
If anybody has any abilities that increase heat for a bonus id be happy to hear them
Random side note: Ion Enginner has become the class I put the most effort into over the past month due to it having nothing fun about it before
Really good for trying out new things since its essentially a new and different class
I did too much work and now I can't release this as a 1.1 version
Would have to be at least 1.5
I wish I did one class at a time so I could release them faster
Accidentally put ion gunner lifesteal as flat
Right multiplayer is out so I should probably release my current version
Version 1.1 of "Ion Subclasses" is out. It's about 90% finished, the abilities work but they lack feedback and power, I will be working on a sort of "class upgrade" system next
Along the way the abilities should get more fun
If anybody has any suggestions for class upgrades I would be happy to hear them

I am working on my ion engie class upgrades first and this is what I have
I need some generic and common upgrades
Or I can make every upgrade impactful
They don't need to be related to summons
Note to self: the player can change teams as well as ai for duration
The multiplayer test was sort of uneventful since nobody is playing it
U8 has some promise though
I will be going back to U7 to work on my mod
Speaking of
I have some more upgrade ideas

D100: (Timeless)
"A spiral into madness"
On Kills or using a ability:
-Have a 99% chance to lose 10 luck
-Have a 1% chance to gain 1000 luck
Upon reaching 0 luck
-Gain the perk "Bankrupt"
-Lose 10% of your max hp
-Gain 100 luck
If I can't figure out how to check luck then the values will change to 1 lost and 100 gained while bankrupt is removed
Now to actually put these into the game
by 1 luck I mean 0.01 luck
I have taken half an hour to make a single change to the UI
This is 20 less kills then other classes are going to need
Because the player should not be hiding behind summons
Instead they should be shooting from behind them
I forgot about this one
Coinflip: (Uncommon)
On ending a level delete the action that gives or removes luck while giving a new one
-Have a 49% chance to land heads gaining 50 luck for the level
-Have a 49% chance to land tails losing 25 luck for the level
-2% chance to land on its side doubling luck for the level
Sometimes I fear my own intellect
I went into the tutorial to test an action that required a level to end
Right I have to remake my subclasses due to reasons beyond my comprehension
At least the uni editor is kind enough to function correctly 99% of the time
D6 is sort of just ignoring most conditions I place on it
So it might only be a positive
Another reason is that you cant do -% without it removing all of your credits
Or change it
Not sure yet
I can't make it on level start so I will simply lie to the player saying that it does
Here is some insider knowledge: Coin flip is actually on the level ending
I am only willing to do 5² action paths and new actions per summon
Grenade and wildcard are being removed
Looks like I am adding another 100 actions

The weighting for the shop right now is a bit scuffed to where you get common about 1/4 of the time
It seems like the meta for this abomination is to stack the common upgrades
The ability summon upgrades wont be able to stack though
Woah there is an actual d20 sprite
Glad I didn't give up my search
I can almost fit them all on the screen
If you started with this you would get about 25 rolls per game
You still have to be able to play the game so 60 seconds it is
That is all the "Gamble" upgrades done
The summon upgrades will be really boring to read
<style=ion>Commando Turret:</style>
<style=nano>Technician:</style>
<style=scatter>Juggernaut:</style>
<style=psy>Spec-Op:</style>
<style=ion>Commando Turret:</style>
-Teleports to the player if out of combat
<style=nano>Technician:</style>

<style=psy>Spec-Op:</style>

Now here is them in order (Common-Divine)
Checklist
-Construct: Drone (Common)
-Safe Stocks: (Common)
-Module: Defense (Uncommon)
-Module: Offense (Uncommon)
-Module: Aura (Epic)
-Module: Special (Epic)

I should have paid more attention in math
Instead of doing something reasonable I took the "Infinite monkeys" approach to things

You can get two modules you already have so I will make the module upgrades give you 25% power if you already own the module
If you don't own the module you will obv get it
I will also make all summons scale 1:1 with power since the item summons do that
If you own all four actions you get a 1.25 scaling boost :)
JK :)
Its now an easter egg perk that you get for owning all 3 actions
It doesn't need any conditions so I am fine
They are just empty perks used as conditions after all
Turret cant move so it is easy to stay in the aura but it has only a small boost
Technician is the same way
Jugg is risky to stay in the aura but its another 10% damage resistance on top of the 20%
Spec-Op is hardest to stay in the aura of and does not have the greatest boosts but can almost always be active
Dear Android,
My loan Terms are 100% fair, but I can see that you are committed to not paying me so I will be sending four commandos after you now. I am a fair man so I will still let you pay me to stop the next wave, assuming that you survive this next attack.
Nice knowing you,
-Mado
Dear Android,
In your most recent payment you didn't pay the full amount, I will accept the partial payment as an apology. Do not make the same mistake again.
Thank you,
-Mado
I think that's everything done
Now I just need to make 2 videos and do a bit of playtesting
an entire day should be enough
Though that is more of a time limit
Friday
50% increase to power is 12.5% more hp and dmg
While the aura gives 1:1 scaling with power
Besides the dmg resistance one which is halved
for obv reasons
You can still become immortal with 200% if you get a good multicast roll though
(Music is Oasi in cittĂ - Righeira 1987)
So as you might be able to tell by the video I am done with making my class upgrade system-but only for Ion Engineer, I sort of set a tight deadline for releasing it so I was not able to playtest it all that much. I will be away from my PC for about a week but I at the very least know that all of the upgrades do something, if that "something" is intended or not I will have to find out.
I have a few questions to those that test this feature out:
- Did you get the advertised effect from an upgrade?
- Did you not get a upgrade/ different unit spawning for any of the ability summon upgrades?
- How often do you get class upgrades per run?
- Did you get too many rare or too many common upgrades?
Of course I would also like to hear any bugs as well in #1028133576509771816 I will be away for a few days, but will check it when I come back
That seems like a good enough announcement
Now time to actually finish up
For those special people that read the modding chat I have not just come to paste what I have already posted, but instead want to show you what I did for my class upgrade system
Time to make that video
Hooray I don't have to wait for Youtube's 5 hour HD renders for a 10 second clip
Yeah this is pretty big
Glad I did some playtesting
Coin flip right now is d20 on crack
Turret with a defense upgrade spawns a spec op
You get like one class upgrade a level if you don't play like s1 engineer
Which seems okay
If I got a 2% chance to break my ability
Nope I just forgot to add something
If the uni editor isn't lying then coin flip should be fine now
Safe and Risky stocks I will check though
They do use a diff system so you don't have bonus luck to get more luck on your next coinflip
But still get bonus luck for your money rolls at the end of a level
How did this even happen when I copied the action from Technician?
Fixed
Turns out technician spawned a spec op in that slot
Idea: The class upgrade selection gets added by an action when combat ends
Well my absolute deadline is in 5 minutes
If there is anything critical now is the time
Alright, good morning and have fun with my mod
Looks like my mod at the very least works
Time to work on the balance and I guess paragon
One problem with paragon
I only like about half of the class
Yet if I remove the other half it becomes bad
Here is one prototype of an idea
Energy (Currency)
-Can only be gained via perks
0 Energy "No power"
-Shields disabled
-vent all heat
25 or less "Critical power"
-50% less heat gain
-50% shield regen speed
50 or less "Low Power"
-25% shield regen speed
-25% less heat gain
75 or less "Standard Power"
Standard
100 or less "High Power"
+25% shield charge rate
+50% heat gain
More then 100 "Overcharged"
-Double heat gain
-+50% shield recharge rate
Energy is consumed on melee attacks/ shooting but is gained back depending on heat
Don't really like the idea of a shield on paragon though
I might have to change the model due to this "Critical miss" business going on
The model my mod uses is an enemy model
So when it is shot it shakes much more
Since where your bullet comes out is from the barrel of your gun
You miss so many more shots then a normal playermodel
I tested trying to roll with this model
it took about 1.2 seconds to be able to fire normally again
Also cant really use subclass colors
Which are good for drawing attention
Also most animations don't work
Which sucks for more then one reason
Okay so parry and combo are 100% good besides the combo doing a funny teleport
The rest needs some looking over
Here is my logic for the order on what classes to work on
How much I dislike them (Starting from the bottom)
#1 Hyper Trooper
#2 Ion Engineer (Formerly #5, but now has class upgrades)
#3 Ion Spec-Op
#4 Ion gunner
#5 Ion Paragon
Hyper trooper is #1 since chrono striker except shooting guns is very fun (I had no idea that the 10 kills with a 4 second stack reset was already made so I wasted a ton of time on this class)
Ion engineer is second purely for the fact of class upgrades
The summons being dumb as hell might make it #5 when the other classes get upgraded
Spec op has overpowered and fun gimmicks that I justify by dying in 1 shot. simple enough
Heavy gunner is my third favorite class so it is no surprise that on an even field a ion flavored clone would be third
Paragon is an oxymoron of a class in its current state
Shrike is the 2nd person to mention my mod at all
and the only person to give real feedback
I think I chose a poor time to make my mod
Now that I think about it more paragon is a husk of a class in the perk department
Change reactive bulwark into enrage:?
Enrage:
Getting hit builds rage
-Increases movespeed by 5%
-Increases damage resistance by 5%
-Lasts 6 seconds each but is reset upon gaining another stack
-Max 5 stacks
Stacks are reset upon using melee combo
That seems pretty riotguard
Lemme just put in my checklist for a good class
-Carrot on a stick (Something to always work towards/manage) (Yes)
-Permanent in game progression (No)
-Fun to play (Eh)
-Distinct (Yes)
One special just for me: Easter egg perk (Not yet)
Idea: Have melee combo give parry for 0.15 seconds
Then replace parry as the mobility with Charge:
-6 second cooldown
-Applies the action Charge:
-Charge for 3 seconds
-Increases movespeed by 10% per enrage
-Increases damage resistance by 5% (0.5 scaling with power) per enrage
-Upon an enemy entering 3m of player delete self action and deal damage
Another random disappointing thing about paragon is that my gpu can't handle the powerful looking explosions like plasma or neutrino
It's really a class that discovers the limits of the game for me
-Can't knockback enemies so it teleports
-Powerful explosions tank my fps
-No melee weapons
-"Rank of ent killed" bool does not work
-Limited animations for the playermodel
Class Upgrade: Plating Punch
-The first punch of combo attack strips all plating
-If any plating is removed grants 1 plating to the player
Class Upgrade: Flash Punch
-Your second punch of the combo now deals aoe damage 5m in front of you
-Teleports the player 5m forwards
Class Upgrade: Falcon Punch
-Your third attack of the combo now applies burning and deals more damage
Class Upgrade: Ultra Heavy Punch
Your final attack of the combo:
-Now stuns for longer
-Applies bleeding
My thumbnail is slightly hecked right now (Not like anyone is downloading mods right now)
I will aim for 10 upgrades per class
Class Upgrade: Built in Flash
-Your mobility now flashes enemies for 6 seconds in 8m of the hit enemy
The class upgrade system showcased in U8 is pretty similar so it seems that I was on the mark with the design
Though the Elite kill is about just as reliable as I expected it to be
Unless there is some change I will just keep my 30-50 kills
Elite kills are a bit more satisfying though
I have no idea how to do minor upgrades so i'll just steal the ones that shrike makes
I only expect people to play mine for a few runs so I'll generally keep the number of low impact upgrades small
Lemme just repaste what I already posted
The thing with making a modded class is that realistically, people are only going to play a few runs with the class you make. This gives me the freedom to make all of my upgrades impactful without wearing down the charm of getting a mega-rare, class changing upgrade too often
Making bread and butter upgrades that are thematic to a class and are not just a stat chest is pretty hard
I love working with 17 action paths (2 of them being blocked by the editor helper)
That was the fastest 17 acton paths I have done
Only about 20 minutes
I made some changes to paragon
I also changed the perks
I have like half of the upgrades done right now due to remaking the abilities
I should work slower
My remaining upgrades are simple to add
Class Upgrade: Rewire Nerves (Common)
-Gain 5% permanat damage resistance
Class Upgrade: Aura (Uncommon)
-Allies gain 20 armor
Class Upgrade: Teleporting Attacks (Legendary)
-All of your specials teleport you to the nearest enemy in 8m but not if in 3m range
Class Upgrade: Auto Teleporting Frame (Legendary)
-On being hit teleport forwards 3m
-3 second cooldown
Class Upgrade: 2nd phase (Legendary)
-under 2000 health
-same effect
Class Upgrade: Burning Aura
While Above 70 heat apply burning to enemies in 8m range
I don't really like rewire nerves
It's either a game break or nothing at all
I wonder what this pfp looks like
Not all that bad
It needs to be much more obvious
I created this on accident
Would use it if you could still tell what it was
It's so compressed that I cant key out the white
Good enough
This might be even better
I still retain my main colors and some of my shape
But you have no idea what this is without looking closely
I wonder if I could post any of these into the art channel and get away with it
Well I know I am using the red one as my pfp for actual spooky day
and I will use the green and cow one with no context then ghost the person
Class Upgrade: Kaon Beam (Legendary)
Flavor text:
-Elastic Scattering Particle
Now fire A <style=ion></style><style=green>Kaon Beam:</style>
-Has halved range
-Ignores Shields(,Armor and damage resistance, etc since its pure hp reduction?)
-Becomes unable to headshot
For Hyper Trooper
Pulled from my list of randomly cool ability names
Somatic Hypermutation
Supercritical
Thermal Shock
Hypernucleus
Hyperon
Resonance
Kaon
I will rename "Shattered" to "Thermal Shock"
In physics, a sigma model is a field theory that describes the field as a point particle confined to move on a fixed manifold. This manifold can be taken to be any Riemannian manifold, although it is most commonly taken to be either a Lie group or a symmetric space. The model may or may not be quantized. An example of the non-quantized version i...
I might be able to come up with better abilities if I was able to understand any of this shit
I think i'm gonna go insane and just start using random theoretical physics terms
Higher-dimensional supergravity is the supersymmetric generalization of general relativity in higher dimensions. Supergravity can be formulated in any number of dimensions up to eleven. This article focuses upon supergravity (SUGRA) in greater than four dimensions.
Shoot a Tachyon in addition to your normal attack:
-Shoot a preimage and an afterimage beam
-Deal light damage
-One is very fast and one is very slow
One of them firing behind you would be cooler then being slower but I am not sure how useful that would be
I waited quite a bit for the new test branch but it didn't come out today
I forgot that I had 17 action paths for melee combo
I am amazing
Other then that what was I actually doing
rewire nerves, teleporting attack and auto teleporting frame all suck
Okay checklist time:
-Make the shop for paragon (Done)
-Copy the actions for the shop (Done)
-Add a naming scheme to engie and paragon upgrades
-Have at least 10 upgrades (7/10) +1 easter egg perk
-Playtest

Hide most of the things your not supposed to see
Nerf and check the enrage boost to 50%
Something I would recomend doing is following this process:
- Come up with an idea
- Make idea to the best of your ability, changing it if its impossible or not fun. What I did starting out was come up with an idea and check the base classes for anything similar
- Playtest to check if the idea is fun and works as intended. If something is not up to speed, repeat from step one. I went through this process 8 times with my most recent class
Misc Stuff:
Always name your actions before you save them or they will be hard to find
Always have a consistant naming scheme for everything you do to easily find it later (ex. mado's example ability)
Action paths are those numbers at the top of an action. 1 has priority

Add weapon frame to ion shotgun
Check weapon perks spawning on normal guns

What's the matter officer? I'll tell you what's the matter. It's a little insurance policy called "Directive 4", my little contribution to your psychological profile. Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in shutdown. What did you think? That you were an ordinary police officer? You're our product, and we can't very well have our products turning against us, can we?

Mado’s Ion Subclasses
Updated for U7!
Last Updated October 21st, 2022
Do you ever say stuff like: "I don't have fun if I'm not lighting myself on fire at all times" or "unlocking unholy power by sacrificing my healthbar is great fun” If so, this mod is for you!
I am very much looking for feedback. If you have any bug reports, suggestions or grievances ping SNUDDERMADO in the Synthetik discord server or just post them in the modding chat as I am very active there
Currently, this mod has 5 sub classes that all have great benefits and great problems with heat. All of them have some sort of new ion weapon to start with and have lore or references in the secondary descriptions.
Current sub classes:
Ion Paragon
"Idk the idea of a "paragon" seems innately OP tbh"
-Strong single target melee fighter that can still fight at any range
-Gains armor and damage resistance as they take damage
-Fights by punching enemies and parrying attacks
-Benefits from high levels of heat to deal bonus fire damage (Soon)
-Class Upgrades related to Survivability, Debuffs and Melee Attacks (Soon)
Ion Special Operative
"Rouge+Recon"
-Has a passive cloak to join fights on their own terms
-Can use drugs that can compensate for low survivability, but have side effects
-Fights by ending a combat encounter before it even begins
-Gains insane critical damage the higher the heat, ideally stays at medium-high heat
Hyper Trooper
“You can rebind your class specialization to mouse3”
-Has abilities that increase heat, which can very easily back you into a corner if used recklessly
-Can move at extreme speeds, but is as fragile as recon; has high dodge to compensate
-Fights by weaving through combat encounters as fast as possible
-Has ability damage scale with heat, ideally stays at medium heat
Ion Engineer
"Multiplayer when"
-Has access to powerful summons that buff you and each other
-Starts off with weaker base stats but gets more powerful each floor
-Fights by making a chokepoint of summons
-Benefits from staying just below overheating
-Class upgrades related to summons, luck and gambling
Ion Gunner
"Is it pissing napalm?"
-A class entirely built around firing as many projectiles as possible
-Has passive ammo regeneration but high heat gain
-Fights by grouping together as many enemies as possible
-Benefits from overheating at the right time to gain high damage/ life steal
This mod kinda changes a lot, so dont be surprised if your core strategy just vanishes

Because a tachyon would always travel faster than light, it would not be possible to see it approaching. After a tachyon has passed nearby, an observer would be able to see two images of it, appearing and departing in opposite directions. This double-image effect is most prominent for an observer located directly in the path of a superluminal object (in this example it is a sphere, shown in transparent grey). Because the tachyon arrives before the light, the observer sees nothing until the sphere has already passed, after which (from the observer's perspective) the image appears to split into two—one of the arriving sphere (to the right) and one of the departing sphere (to the left).
Remove all luck increases and make everything gamble?

A neutrino revolver that was probably stolen from the machine legion. It is unclear why this unconventional ammo type was made or why it does not fire x66 lightspeed, but x55 neutrino is just below the speed of light.
Most Ion weapons are highly experimental one-off prototypes made by an engineer. This however, despite being dumb in concept, has claimed the title of the only mass-produced ion weapon in history due to its reliability, cooling, and accuracy. It is often called a "range queen", however it is becoming far less popular due to it having the second highest range incident rate: just behind laser shotguns.

-Accurate but weak against <style=Shield>Shields </style>

Experimental Mado's Mods
Its time to try your mod.
Paragon is probably the best one with enginner as a second
The other three have some neat ideas but are even more unfinished
Also last changes in tooltips brings some... Saturated hell
So you maybe want to recreate them
Let me see my current tooltip
Since paragon has had some more work put into it
Not too different
The style damage could be removed along with the second yellow parry
Charge makes no sound or effect or nothing
Does it still do the shield particle effect?
My version works fine
The effect changes with how many stacks you have
Not sure what its called in the old version either "Mode" or "Enrage"
Old?
I've been working on it as a separate mod
Its too hard to update 5 classes as one person, especially when 3 of them are not worth updating
But yeah i'll have to change a few of the styles
At least this makes me think about them again
Would you want to be able to download the depot early?
Since it's not going to come out anytime soon
