Next big area of focus
Next big area of focus
I posted this to the official Dweller forums today:
"Ok, so, I have a pretty long list of small and big things that I could do with Dweller, but Id like to be sure that Im focusing on the most important stuff first.
Theres a lot on that list, but Im sure theres other stuff as well, and Id like to hear you opinion. Here are some of the main areas I could focus on:
* Improve AI. The AI isnt that smart at the moment. It basically has three states: idle, attack, flee. The AI could be made a lot more interesting. Casters should keep their distance. Casters should pick spells to use more wisely. Packs of monsters should really try to surround the player better. Fleeing monsters should not be as easily cornered. Fleeing monsters should sometimes turn and fight, especially if close to other monsters. And so on, and so on....
* Make the rooms even more thematic. The system currently doesnt properly support placement of specific monster and/or items on the rooms youre able to create via the online mapper. It would be great if you could place Dark Wizards in rooms filled with bookshelves, tables and braziers to make such rooms feel more inhabited. Or if you could put gold or other valuables in treasure rooms instead of only putting chests. Or if you could create a Worg kennel room. Or if you could create a room filled withe purple oozes. And so on...
* More quests. Especially quests found in the dungeon. For instance you could come across the bones/ghost of a dead adventurer and you could get a quest to bring the remains to the surface. Or if you could find an imprisoned adventurer and get a quest to find the key to unlock the prison. Or if you could find a necklace that starts a quest. Or any other of the million or so possible quests...
* More dungeon branches. The Caves? The Sewers? The Mines? The Lava Pits? The Underground Lake?
* More spells
* Character perks or skills (as was discussed about warrior and ranger skills elsewhere)."
