| IvanCon plans
|
|
Player mood system with HUD graphics for facial expressions (like DooM)
|
- Graphics are ready (Ernomouse has them)
|
- Various levels of panic (morale paniced <-> psycho)
- Berzerk mood
- Animated face of the player
- when high on mushroom, new face
- One for every mood
|
|
Male and female chars are different
|
|
Sex
|
|
Magic system
|
- ESP/telekinesis kind, no fireballs and other cliches (ex. lift a sword and use it to attack)
- Shouldn't be based on Mana (something else than mana-point based system)
- eg. travel through walls but no objects can be carried/worn, player leaves his body and inventory behind and turns into a ghost, should the body rot if you're away too long?
- ghost items
- amulet of astral projection
- magical mushroom gas could result in Astral projection
- if mana drops low, it'd cause bizarre things
- eaten items could enhance spells (Nethack?)
|
|
Sleep
|
- the player will have to sleep
- dreams
- the player could gain things from dreams
- affect food burning rate; Affect stats; Affect item spawning rate
- finding spells only from the dreams
- dream world
|
|
Dig up or down (Escaping up/downwards)
|
|
A new quest
|
- Retrieve a hammer from the catacombs
- Smith gives you a key to petruses wives
- Sex with one of them -> pregnancy (3 days?); What if you're female?
- Sacrifice the child and become Valpuri's champ
- If groin gets scarred a lot, you might get infertile (Magical way of restoring fertility)
- Probably Petruses children could be sacrificed instead, as a harder guest
|
|
Player classes
|
|
|
|
More comments to the code are needed
|
- Someone should write a guide to code files
|
|
There is a power chart for balancing weapons
|
- Accuracy, power, sturdiness
- Frequency of appearance is used to balance the power
- Add features -> play testing
|
|
Steppingstone material between meteorite steel adamantine
|
- The int requirement takes a huge leap
|
|
Every weapon class should have an artifact
|
- More special items would be nice too (f.ex. flaming sword)
- WIP --Red kangaroo (talk) 17:13, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
|
|
Trophy items and NPC's for people who contribute a lot to IVAN (there are plenty of examples already)
|
|
Different types of damage
|
- Slash, point, blunt, burn
- Variance between different weapons
- Works diffeerently on f.ex. armour
|
|
Ranged weapons would get more reasonable to have
|
- sling for blunt
- bow for point
|
|
Items and limbs made of f.ex. gas
|
- A weapon: "Fan"
- Steam powered Vacuum cleaner (effective against ghosts, insects, thrown items)
|
|
Monsters could be put into items
|
- Iron maiden, Cage traps
- The problem is to make the charachter disappear
- Could be handled as f.ex. traps?
|
|
A cloud of insects (fireflies, locusts?)
|
- The catacombs could have lots of insects
|
|
You could have a conversation with the gods
|
|
Ighalli's god system
|
- effects should be balanced somehow, so that better effects need better relations
- bad effects
- god requesting an offer for some favours
- lifestyle choises could effect god relations
|
|
blood contains a lot of iron
|
|
Ghosts
|
- Ghosts that disenchant items
- Ghost that eats anything in the way
- Invisible chars leave invis. ghosts
|
|
Chaostroms Zombie torso riddance idea
|
- Limit the torso animation rate to third or quarter of what it is now
- When the groin is severed, the torso cannot turn into a zombie any more
|
|
Convert all graphics to 32x32 (J_Kahvi could probably do it)
|
- Opens possibilities to f.ex. turning into a big monster??
- Would double the objects available
- midget objects
- wand of object enlargement
- Midget tunnels and dungeons (Gulliver)
- Create new midget monsters from the existing 16x16 graphics
- midgets handle as groups, so you'd attack all the midgets in one square, they still could move freely about
|
|
Individual throwing accuracy for all items
|
|
Moods on the dungeon ("quite like underground weather")
|
- magical weather, tiring weather, hungering weather
|
|
Level dynamics
|
- Too much mining would collapse the level above (Dwarf Fortress style)
- generate not only the level you enter, but the ones next to it
- The catacombs should have a different algorithm than the GC and UT
|
|
Spreading fire which generates smoke
|
- Smoke clouds should have a intensity modifier
- In towers and towns wind should blow away the smoke and spread the fire
|
|
Insect clouds
|
- Insects could act as clouds that move randomly
- Beehive that grows... O god!
- bug room
- makes a nice practice thing
|
|
Side dungeons that go sideways
|
|
Monty Python
|
- llamas
- dead parrot
- the killer rabbit
- a little chance of a killer rabit spawning from adult mutant rabbits mating
- witches that weigh the same as a duck
- duck flesh and witch flesh
|
|
Dungeon types
|
- Tower dungeon
- very open levels
- wind, going against the wind would be taxing or slowing
- illusions of f.ex. floor tiles
- you should be able to escape the tower by jumping outside
- if the player walks on a floor made of air then he will fall down a level, until he hits something solid
- Damage based on falling distance
- can't progress backwards
- wind blow would affect large and unencumbered creatures more
- if you jump or fly, you'd automatically get blown a certain amount with the wind
- this way small creatures could find secret dungeons
- tower made of balsa
- if the player weighs too much, the floor breaks
- For a cloack you could wear a Dwarven parachute, which radically decreases falling damage
- Small alien side dungeon
- Based on the frenchmen's alien mod
- Astral projection dungeon
- only accessible as a ghost
- astral projections could carry only one item
- only one revard could be brought outside, in case the side quest would be accessible only once
- wizard hiding from something in an astral plane
- his body is f.ex. suspended into a nearby statue
- constantly exploding level as the entrance
- explosions triggering every moment
- ghosts could be immune to explosions
- ghosts could move between levels without stairs (see digging up and down)
- Midget dungeon
|
|
Monsters
|
- Wand using monster
- Poltergeist monster
- Insect cloud monstertype that you cannot attack by normal melee attack
|
|
Items
|
- Fan (blows away insects and ghosts)
- Steampowered vacuum cleaner (sucks in insects and ghosts)
- Instead of steam powered, it could be basically just a captured Eddie; when it breaks, the Eddy comes out...
- Wand of unlocking / locking (closes unlocked and unlocks the closed doors)
- Dwarven parachute
- Rubber boots that boost electricy resistance
- HUGE morningstar type weapon
- weapons destroying walls? You can kick them...
- Weapon tweaks
- The stethoscope is a bit strong as a weapon
- Gauntlets don't use unarmed skill (if they're wielded as weapons, maybe they shouldn't either)
- Wielded gloves should affect unarmed skill and worn gauntlets should do extra damage
