Devlog 2021-05-25: Minigames!

No RPG game is complete without at least one minigame, and as of today, MFG38's Average Adventure 2 will be no exception. I just finished implementing a minigame called Drunkard's Bluff, and I thought: why not share some details about it?

Drunkard's Bluff is a turn-based drinking minigame that can be played in the Fakorii City Bar. The player has 10 turns to drink and/or bluff their way into victory. On your turn, you have a choice to either drink or attempt a bluff. Drinking will add +10 to the Drunk-O-Meter. You have 5 usable bluff attempts per game, and upon choosing to bluff, a virtual coin flip decides whether it succeeds or fails. On a successful bluff, your Drunk-O-Meter will decrease by -2, while a failed bluff adds +5 to it. The player with the lower number on their Drunk-O-Meter at the end of the last turn wins.

If you happen to win a game of Drunkard's Bluff, you will be rewarded a free random item from 6 different choices. You will also be able to check your Drunkard's Bluff statistics by talking to the guy. The statistics will display how many games of Drunkard's Bluff you've played and won, as well as how many of the unique reward items you've acquired.

I may or may not expand upon the idea and add more opponents in different areas that you can play Drunkard's Bluff against. If I do expand upon it, chances are I'll make it so that each opponent has a unique reward item pool.
