Game Development: Stats and Skill Systems

Balance hits to kill by modeling archetypes—tank, mage, archer, caster—using spreadsheet simulations to tune physical and magic damage, DPS, and combat speed.

Explore how accuracy and dodge determine hit chances in game combat, and implement a single dynamic formula that updates damage, HP, and growth stats across columns and lines.

Balance damage and hp by linking hp growth to level-based damage increases of 2.5 percent per level, factoring magical items, plasma damage, and phase-based adjustments in the tank table.

Remaking the hit rate, the lecture replaces the old formula with accuracy minus agility, standardizes a centralized hit chance, converts percentages to decimals, and adds defense and damage columns.

Fixes a bug where damage could heal units via negative values due to constitution, by using max instead of min when adjusting hp, ensuring zero floor and correct healing.

Learn how to remove status effects by targeting only beneficial ones, use status holder and get components in children, and safely destroy components without deleting the game object.

This lesson builds a targeting system for skills, showing self-targeting vs random targets, handling no valid targets, and testing vanish and non-stacking buffs in a combat simulator.
