//Mechanics & Core Systems

The Mechanics section documents the gameplay core of nu-Eden: Sundered Skies — from the type-based ability system and momentum-driven combat to parkour traversal and the resource-heavy Maborite economy.

▸Core Systems Overview

1. ▪Combat: High-speed, four-slot loadout combat with elemental affinities and momentum-based "Flow" scoring.
2. ▪Abilities: Character-specific skill trees focusing on Temporal manipulation (Conrad) and Polarity shifting (Lyndsey).
3. ▪Parkour: Momentum-based traversal including wall-running, Skylift grappling, and air-dash chain mechanics.
4. ▪Progression: XP-driven leveling, milestone-based skill point acquisition, and New Game+ scalability.
5. ▪Economy: Resource management involving Credits, raw Maborite, and Faction standing.

▸Technical Foundations

Every mechanic in nu-Eden is designed with a "No Busywork" mandate. Systems should encourage experimentation, creative problem-solving, and mastery of the environment.
