Re: infini crawl, text dungeon crawling rpg similar to the wastes.
Wow level 100? that is quite a prestiege mechanic there and will take a lot of monster slayage .
As
the only bug I've seen thus far, is that for some reason now when incoming text is spoken by NVDA, it speaks the entire log, rather than just the most recent entry.
Oh, and very much liking the new sfx and boss music, though you might consider either changing the death sound to something a bit more generic which would suit any man/woman/thing you happen to slay, or to at least have general category death sounds based on the gender/physiology of the enemy.
Btw, I was also wondering about difficulties, since what is to stop someone playing the game on an easier difficulty just to pound through extra levels and get to the retirement quicker.
You might consider giving the lower level difficulties an upper scene cap, something like 100 for easy and 200 for normal (though I've not played on the lower difficulties for a while so can't remember how these stack up). Once players hit that cap they're given a free humble pie, and maybe a stat bump and achievement to, to encourage players to progress onward.
Indeed, you could either consider giving these more fantasy region names to reflect the relative length of the journey, say by asking a player to journey across a region (easy), land (normal), or world (hard), or alternatively by making the difficulties titles or tests a player could under take, EG adventurer for easy, squire for normal and knight errant for hard, with the player earning respective achievements and getting accompanying congrats messages:
For example, for completing easy/adventurer difficulty a player could be told:
"Your adventuring career has brought you a small amount of fame, you have earned the silver spurs of a squire. Now go forth squire and prove yourself against stronger challenges."
Whilst completing normal/squire difficulty: "You have earned considerable fame and fortune as a valiant squire, and have been dubbed a knight, sworn to battle evil and protect the weak. But the world is wide and full of dangers, and your true legacy is only just beginning."
Similar congrats messages could be added if the region/land/world option is used for difficulty as well.
