Re: Magic & Effects Back-End
Awesome, very nicely designed and will make it very easy to add new effects into DFU!
Looking forward to working with it and having working potions.
I do think that the Magic & Effects system is really just an Effects system... the Magic part is redundant. Magic is implemented using the effects system, but is not intrinsic. Just a minor naming nitpick.. please ignore me.

Cheers!
I feel the naming convention, muddy as it is, should help people make that intuitive leap and understand the broader context of the systems involved (here's hoping anyway).
I actually agree with you there. The reason I settled on "Magic & Effects" was to retain that figurative link to the system most users will associate it with. When I started talking about effects early on, I had a few people who were confused what I meant. Someone even suggested that I try using shaders.

Re: Magic & Effects Back-End
Very interresting article, thanks for the update! Im not gonna pretend I understood it all, but ive tryed it will be epic when this part is set and working.
Also, DFU seems to be the best "remake" of the all tes series which r actually being worked on. Quite a achievement for a project started by a solo dev!
Damn I love this game! Best wishes to all the contributors and forum crawlers!
