Cybernetics

## Developer Description

We decided to add cybernetics because we felt like the game needed more fun choices with regards to character progression. Cybernetics lets us add certain kinds of specialization or trade-offs that are rooted in something physical rather than just an abstract skill or stat. Maybe your character is better at melee combat because he equipped big beefy Behemoth cybernetic arms, or maybe you've got Sleek cybernetic arms that improve your ranged accuracy. Most cybernetics have an energy cost, either over time or when used, and all cybernetics can be toggled on and off within the Cybernetics window, which can now be accessed by clicking the button on the top right of the Character menu. When toggled off, cybernetics will still function as basic limbs/organs, but they will lose any of their beneficial properties as well as their associated energy costs.

### Cybernetic Limbs

Cybernetics arms and legs will have the most direct impact on minute to minute gameplay, as they will have the most impact on your defenses, movement abilities and weapon handling. Cybernetic legs will be able to adjust things like your run speed, encumbrance, jump height, etc while cybernetic arms will be able to adjust things like ranged accuracy and melee damage. All cybernetic limbs will have some additional defense, although the tradeoff is a slight reduction in blood volume (max health). Some cybernetic limbs are "Bulky", which means they cannot be worn under armor, but the rest can be combined with armor.
