    The Spell of Mastery Progress
    Finally implemented the composite sprite system into the game.
    I.e. sprite being dynamically assembled from the body doll and the clothes it wears.
    That should keep it nice and organized, allowing for nice damage model.
    And magic effects will have a well defined shape to follow.

    While I had the graphics for some time,
    it was hard to implement elegantly before the ECS.
    I.e. I needed to differentiate between different humanoid kins.
    Now even the sound effects units produce are dictated by the components.
    Hopefully there will be no more need for the unit types folder.

    TODO0: implement dwarves and midgets
    TODO1: convert all the humanoid sprites to this common base.
    TODO2: implement similar system for the fantastic beasts.

    How to determine if a game is for whites or niggers?
    You know nowadays the niggers love to bash Dragon Age Vanguard and praise Baldur's Gate III.

    But how do we know these games are bad/good?

    Obviously we can look for any action oriented gameplay,
    where player controls a single character directly.
    It easily betrays a pure nigger oriented product.
    Niggers are violent, have ADHD and no abstract thinking.
    So they need direct association with the character.
    To go on a power-trip brutally killing people.

    But what if the game has bird's eye view?
    What if player controls several characters?
    Does that guarantee the game is for the white audience?

    Well, of course no!
    There are countless dumbed down strategy RPGs.
    Final Fantasy VII is being a major example.

    These pseudo-white games usually have many characters.
    These characters have many abilities.
    But they are all similar.
    Most are either damage or heal abilities.
    I.e. these games are 1-dimensional.
    There mechanics can be reduced to an HP bar.

    That is either because game mechanics is too primitive.
    Or because designers already decided for you.
    They just want you to passively consume their goyslop.
    Without any dimension door induced sequence breaks.


    So for game to be a non-nigger, it needs to have more dimensions.
    The above mentioned dimension door is a good example.
    Another example will be the Time Stop spell.
    Only a very few games implement these.

    The list is very short:
    * Master of Magic. Has planar shift and time stop ( https://masterofmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Time_Stop ). Both implemented perfectly. None of the MoM clones implement Time Stop. Even Age of Wonders can be considered a degenerate nigger goyslop.
    * Baldur's Gate. Only the classic version conforms. The Extended Edition removed the dimension door, because the new story, Beamdog niggers produced, could be sequence broken by a dimension door. And being niggers, Beamdog decided that people care about their shitty new story more than the important gameplay dimension ( https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Dimension_Door#Bugs ). That is why BG EE is objectively inferior to the vanilla BG.

    So to answer the question, even the Dragon Age Origins had no timestop, and same way Baldur's Gate III doesn't have it, and none of the Larian games ever had it.

    Stricter criteria would be the availability of the flight spell. That will leave only the Master of Magic.

    Even stricter criteria is the presence of terraforming spells. Again leaves only the Master of Magic (with spells like https://masterofmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Armageddon ).

    People who criticize my game for having bad graphics
    What would be good graphics for you?
    For me graphics is good when it is readable.
    I.e. it expresses the game world state.


    For example, my game has relatively detailed characters.
    Yet it is easy to see what equipment character uses.
    Keep in mind that I'm not an artist.
    And I have no money to pay professional artists.

    Still compare my art to the art of professional artists.
    I think my sprites are not as readable as Final Fantasy Tactics.
    After all FFT is the timeless classic.
    Yet my art is definitely more readable than Baldur's Gate 3.
    So I don't understand what more can you expect from me.
    I'm a mentally ill person with a weak connection to reality.

    Please stop your bullying.
