Can it be used as a combat system for combat skills?

Yes! That's actually the main way ModiBuff is designed around.

Is there a release date for 1.0?

No. There's a few thing I want to be finished before preparing for 1.0 release.
So 98-99% of game mechanics are implementable.

To note some:

Features

• Gradual/dynamic effects (effect value change over time)
• Gen-id based modifier stacking
• Checks value manipulation (ex. cooldown, cost, chance)
• Dynamic meta/post effect adding/enabling
• Graceful handling of state in effects (ex. a depleting "shield" value on damage taken)
• Status effect syncing remove timer together with status effect time
• Few ModiBuff.Units logic implementations
  • Taunt status effect
  • Channeling cast
  • Shield mechanic?

Battletested
I want at least one game properly released before I'm confident in a 1.0 version.
I've noticed that a fair amount of features are missing that are needed for specific game needs.
Meaning I don't notice them since I was focused on the library too much.

I have been making a few prototypes with ModiBuff, and implementing the missing logic while at it.
But to be 90% sure that ModiBuff isn't missing some core infrastructure to make a full-fledged game, it needs to be properly battletested.
I currently have a pretty big project in works that uses ModiBuff at its core.

Samples
Current game sample is very bad, while the ModifierExamples.md is a bit better, but very unsatisfactory.

• Examples of how to implement mechanics from mechanic-heavy games, Dota 2, LoL, WoW, PoE, etc.
• Having a few basic games in Godot for easier learning curve

But, if I had to set a 1.0 release date right now. It would be at least Q3 2025.
Don't have a lot of time to focus on ModiBuff currently.
