Hi tom.
i wasn't really thinking of easter eggs, sinse easter eggs are usually more
of an after thought than anything else, I was thinking of items which were
actually in the game to collect, but which the average player would probably
only collect half of.
Look at the zelda games for example. Heart peaces to expand your energy
meater are scattered around the game hidden in different locations, but you
don't need! all of them to finish the game.
Suppose for instance in mota in each level you included an energy boost that
would raise your health by 10 percent, rather like the heart tanks in the
mega man x games. A player could! complete the game on the standard %100
energy, though bits would be fairly tough, but if a player explores every
inch of every level, they will get rewarded.
Once a player finishes the game, they could then also spend time trying to
find all those expantions.
This also means that you could hide expantions in especially hard to find or
hard to reach places as well, sinse your not expecting! players to gather
them first time around.
This is the sort of thing I meant, more than bonus easter eggs which
required random actions to unlock. I personally much prefer expantions that
players can work! towards getting, than random content that you would only
find out about if you pick up the keyboard, press z a b d c e f, spin round
three times singing puff the magic dragon and then hitt escape! :D.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
