Main influence for the stat system rn is System Shock 2, plan to add a bunch more stats to endure several viable, mutually exclusive builds.
skill increases should be significant.
e.g putting a few points into Vision:

working on the re-spawn system. the player now re-spawns in their bed, sort of like a bonfire in a souls-like, except you can pick it up and move it to wherever you want.

added line numbers and tabs to the editor, a "charger" entity, that restores nearby allies energy and HP and some more effects for foliage, charging, etc.

added a teleporter for sending entities between zones. already hackable and usable by the player.
Next step is to teleport in enemies as reinforcements, or batteries/healing items, etc.
Goal is to have a somewhat believable ecosystem/supply chain

Can now pickup and drop items. Enemies can drop on death. Added a new snow level with snow particles.
new security system, cameras report the player's position to central computers which then give orders to enemies.

adding some effects to hacking connections, worked on UI. Made some changes to the scripting as well. for loops now use "@" symbol instead of "!". Functions now stored as vars, can be passed to other functions.

added support for arbitrary aspect ratios and gui resizing.
was starting to think it was a mistake to do the UI from scratch, but its actually made it easier to rapidly iterate on these kinds of things.
still need to fix this flicker tho...
