Party System

Note: The Party System is available starting in version 0.5.

The Party System is Deliber8 Progress’s most playful feature. Each goal becomes a character that you level up by working on it.

The Concept

In RPGs, you have a party of characters, each with their own class, abilities, and progression. Deliber8 Progress applies this to your goals:

• Goal → Character
• Completing tasks → XP for that character
• Character levels up → Equip gear from the shop

Creating Characters

When you create a goal, you can optionally enable Party Mode for it:

1. Create or edit a goal
2. Toggle “Enable Party Character”
3. Choose:
   • Name (can differ from goal name)
   • Class (Wizard, Warrior, Druid, etc.)

Your character starts at level 1 and gains XP whenever you complete tasks under that goal.

Character Classes

Classes are cosmetic but thematic. Some shop items are class-exclusive:

Character Mood

Characters have a mood based on recent activity:

• 😄 Happy — You’ve been active on this goal recently
• 😊 Content — Good progress in the past week
• 😐 Neutral — Some activity, could be more
• 😢 Sad — Goal has been neglected
• 😔 Neglected — No activity for a long time

Check the Party view to see how your characters are feeling!

Your Party

View your full party from the Party screen (🎭 in the navbar):

• See all characters and their levels
• Characters show their current mood
• Click a character to see their stats and goal progress
• Equip gear from your inventory

Gold

Working on goals earns Gold alongside XP:

Your gold balance appears in the navbar. Spend it in the Shop!

The Shop

Access the Shop (🏪 in the navbar) to spend your hard-earned gold:

Item Categories

• Head Gear — Hats, helmets, crowns for your characters
• Body Gear — Robes, armor, cloaks
• Accessories — Pendants, rings, capes

Item Rarity

Some items have class restrictions — only characters of that class can equip them.

Purchasing

1. Browse items and filter by category or rarity
2. Toggle “Hide owned items” to see what you don’t have
3. Click an item to see details
4. Click Purchase if you have enough gold
5. Item appears in your Inventory

Inventory

Access your Inventory (🎒 in the navbar) to see purchased items:

• View all items you own, organized by type
• See which items are equipped and on which character
• Equip items to characters from here
• Some items have class restrictions shown

Equipping Items

1. Find the item in your inventory
2. Click Equip
3. Choose which character to equip it on
4. The item appears on that character’s gear slot

Each character has three gear slots: Head, Body, and Accessory.

Daily Login Rewards

Log in daily to claim bonus gold and XP! Rewards increase with consecutive logins:

After day 7, the streak continues but bonuses cap. Miss a day and the streak resets.

Why Party Mode?

1. Emotional investment — It’s easier to “abandon” a goal than a character you’ve leveled up
2. Visual progress — Watching characters grow feels more tangible than numbers
3. Fun — Productivity doesn’t have to be boring

Not for everyone, and that’s okay. The gamification modes let you opt out entirely.
