I have fallen in love with this game. Though there are a handful of features I'm hoping to see in future updates:
Glad to hear it, We keep rolling on.
- aimed attacks (my favorite feature of DF Adventure Mode)
Not planning on aimed at body parts per se, but we have plans for a melee system where you push, cripple, and otherwise do nasty things to enimies other than just smacking them. This is mediated by various combat styles (which includes martial arts, but I don't think it's going to be restricted to that anymore)
- more detailed combat information in the log
This would indeed come with the above.
- distinction between sounds made by the player vs sounds made by the world and its inhabitants in the log
As of now the sound meter shows how much noise was generated on the player's tile or adjacent tiles, which captures the majority of noise the player makes. I have plans for a system where the '?'s stick around until your next action, and you can use the look command to get a description of the noise.
- enhanced stealth play, more information regarding the "amount" of stealth I'm achieving at any given time. help me understand when NPCs see me, and when they don't. 'ignoring' flag alone doesn't tell me if they haven't spotted me, or if they have indeed spotted me, and are simply leaving me alone.
This is a big overhaul we want to make, letting you adjust your posture so you can e.g. crouch behind a car, or crawl through a ditch to get past enimies. I have some ideas on vizualizing this in a nice way.
- wish I could pour water on my face/in my eyes when I'm blinded by bile.
That's not a half bad idea, I'll look into whether there's a good way to implement that, right now activating a drink makes you drink it, but we might be able to put a conditional in there to handle it.
- a simple "you die" message on death, would give a greater sense of finality.
Good point, probably want to display the memorial file, need to look into that again.
- some sort of highscore? most days survived? most zombies killed? greatest skill total at death?
There's a memorial file that gets written to memorial/, we're steadily tracking more stuff, and there is interest in singling out particular achievements to report. Having best of for a particular world is a good idea too.
much love.
