Era : Gameplay Suggestions + Complaints

Rick · #1 07-15-2005, 05:47 PM

Starting a new thread - the Era? thread is too big to stick this in.

While many things have changed in Era's gameplay already, that I am not revealing right now, I would like to see any replies discussing what you think could be improved to it.

Here is a (brief) list of things that are final and will not be changed:

Blood and wounds: Staying.
10/50 HP: Staying at 50 HP, however, there are some changes to this system that I am not revealing right now.
Weight: Item weight no longer slows down your character, weight will exist to limit the amount of items you can carry.
Lockers: No longer going to exist, working on a better form of item storage, which will be free.

Jumping over fences, climbing stuff, giving buddies a boost so they can sneak through say vents in buildings. :o

Maybe try to add an interesting quest in or something.

Pretty sure you have this already but -

music.

I can see the following music in Era (not exactly my favorite genres but fits Era): Rap, Techno, (punk?).

Some good old fashion Era Pking with a little action would be nice.

I agree with the old fashion Era Pking.

Hmm..
The use of other players to accomplish things sounds like a good idea. Have perhaps car classes so you can take them and cap some foo's with some drive-by action. Omgaw.

Having help climbing over fences and low walls so that you don't need to break down doors sounds like a pretty good idea too.

The only thing is it will take a little work with onwall and offwall detection.

And here's a stab at something interesting. I know the ideas a little bit out there, but:

"First Person" shooting. Not quite what it sounds like. It's nothing that will be impossible with a 2d system.

We can have you press a button to go into "First Person" shooting and this will enable aiming with your mouse. The only downside to this is you have to stand in place and half your screen will be black (The side that you're not looking. Sorta like a narrowed vision effect). An arrow could be pointing in the direction of your shot. Take a look at my shizzy sketch:

Can't do it with the graal engine unless every building were to be an image.
