Hi!
Welcome to question of the week - these puns write themselves, I swear. Let's get this week off to a running start with the answer from our devs...
Joker had the "stamina" to type one more question to our team and we will certainly "jump" for the chance to answer it. Puns all intended, of course.
Joker: How will stamina play a role in the game besides reduce the number of jumps you can do? Will it be something like mana where you use up a certain amount of stamina you are no longer able to use skills? If you run out of stamina will you run slower? Will it take stamina to shoot your weapon?
Stamina and Energy are two of the most important resource pools in the game, probably secondary only to your character's Shield. Stamina is used for every action that requires physical effort and endurance, while Energy is resource that character's machinery and electronics require when they are used. Sprinting at higher speed and jumping are both actions that require Stamina points, along with many others. Thus players might find themselves unable to sprint fast to flee from danger or build distance from their opponent if they have been jumping a lot, and vice versa. Shooting with your weapon generally will not expend Stamina points, but combat Abilities may require Stamina points to execute.
Feel free to share your thoughts below.
