Desktop Tuesday: Exploration Prototype 1

The second idea is a little more complicated, and a lot more radical, but given what we’ve seen from the footman-led exploration I think it’s worth a further look: what about bringing the player directly into the game with their own hearthling avatar?

An older game, Maelstrom, had the option to play the game from the RTS camera that it was meant to be played from, but you could then go into first-person view and play the map from an FPS standpoint of your commander; essentially fighting along side your troops if wanted.

Bringing that to Stonehearth…I personally am going to say no. I don’t see a real point to it. What do you really get from seeing your buildings from the point of your 'lings? Short of adding mini-games to the game with “helping out”, I don’t see this benefitting at all.

It is I, Zilla, but with me being gone for long I doubt most of you remember little old me!

I remember you…vaguely. At least your name sounds familiar. Sorry I can’t pinpoint more to your name.

The idea was sorta like a trasure-hunt in a narrative way, the idea was like this :

Scinario : A NPC fall sick from a… Snake Bite! Oh no! It’s a special snake and only medici from a mandragora can cure it!

You are tasked with finding a mandragora that spawned somewhere in the world and to kill it and retrieve the herbs to make a cure!

If the player succeeds the NPC lives! And he/she will gift the player’s town with a ‘Special’ item!

Similiar to this post.
