Game Jam Submission! v.0.75

Hi there, S2LCheshire here

First of all, shoutout for GDTV for hosting this jam! Your courses is basically where I formally learned Unity and I haven't looked back since.

Second, thank you for everyone who has played the game and gave responses and feedbacks, it is a very humbling experience to actually made a game that people can enjoy.

Now on to the game,

Background: 

We both loved gacha games, and we thought that it's not overly complicated to make the gacha system. In modern gacha games, they usually have their "main game" with the major mechanic, and then the gacha part as the "inventory system". We want to try reversing it so that the main game is actually more like the side game, and the gacha is the main game.

Gacha:

Since gacha is the main game, we wanted to put some mechanic in opening the gacha so it's not just plainly opening it. There were a lot of consideration, but the Power& Durability is where we eventually settled down for the scope of this gamejam. We had a lot more things to implement post-gamejam, like the "Combine" feature that is still coming soon. 

Save Feature:

If we want the gacha to be the main game, then the save/load system is a necessity. I implemented very simple save file using JSON utility and the combination of BinaryReader and BinaryWriter. This works well with most system, except that for WebGL builds, we cannot update the game otherwise it will reset the save files. This wouldn't be an issue if it's a .exe file, but for the time being - we are stuck with this build.

Plans ahead:

1. More minigames!
2. "Combine" mechanic for collectibles duplicates!
3.  Cool effects for the Item - currently it has no effect
4. QoL Changes
   1. Clean up UI a bit for Gacha tabs - I heard people getting confused about the "Open Box" vs "Gacha" button
   2.  "Equip" sign and a UI to show what is currently equipped in the Game Panel
5. Possibly porting this as a mobile game(!?) - will anyone be interested?

Once again thanks everyone for playing the game and stay tuned for more updates
