Sorry but i’d have to strongly disagree about the cost. I’ll end a game with thousands of useless mana, most times exceeding 10k. Additionally the first 4 imps are free so even if a player made a massive mess then they could still continue with 4 imps and rapidly generate the mana for more, as the game already has a reasonable cost creep for more imps.
And because there isn’t a game mode where you can just build dungeons to be defeated i have to finish a game and then redesign the map (often has me having to delete my current dungeon and filling it in to make room for the new layout which can be very costly).
If there’s eventually going to be a feature where we can submit dungeon layouts without too much hassle that would be great, as so far i’ve only found retired dungeons that are seemingly not made with the thought of another player entering it. Maybe i’m really unlucky there but it’s still a concern for me.
I understand your working on improving the adventure mode right now and i must admit i’m rather excited about it!
I’ve played over 115 hours currently and most of that time has been in base design, the game is fun but my favourite part is designing a bad guy for other people’s games….
I won’t get anything out of putting in the extra effort in my game….But i just enjoy the thought of someone being pleasantly surprised after picking my dungeon at random, busting down a random door to realise they just barged into a goblins bedroom and seeing “gobolicus” has his own little storage room ….
Or realising that there is a separate building and finding that it’s a prison with many little doored of cells with guard dogs out front and then finding the storage of “confiscated contraband” from the prisoners.
Or imagining the player who enjoys being sneaky and then staying in the shadows away from the more densely populated areas whilst stealthing their way around the base.
And for that player who likes to be thorough and feels a great sense of achievement when they find a stash of gold hidden in a place most others would not have bothered to search!
So to conclude…. If you must keep the cost of mistake corrections to a finite resource would it be possible to consider a game mode later on down the line with the focus being dungeon design? It could greatly contribute to the variety of dungeons players would face against and if designed well could add a massive bonus to the rpg experience you mentioned you wanted to implement in a previous update regarding the adventure campaign!
I understand this would be a massive undertaking and a great challenge currently but it would be great to know if this would be considered if time and resources permitted it?
P.S. I’ve read through this and spell checked it like 6 times so once again hopefully it’s appropriately displayed and worded but I’m prone to mistakes so please let me know if anything seems odd or wrong! : )
