Title: Alternates to Death
Post by joeb on 19.03.2007 at 22:43:48

Vern,

I know this is kind of late but I was just thinking that it would be nice if instead of being penalized just by death there could be a point decrementer. For instance you run into or over certain types of bricks or critters and instead of dying or taking a shield you take points. Just a thought.....

Take 1000 points the same as a life? :-? What if when you loose 1000 points you also loose a life? :o I kinda like being paralized for like 10 seconds instead of death or score taking. Score taking would mess up alot of people if they're playing the mansion again for money! They'd have to start again or load a save point! :o If there is a vote, I disagree with Joe. :(

That's NOT what I said. Just take points. Yes if you're playing a mansion for points then it would affect your score but so does not being able to get to a bag of gold or whatever. You lose a life there and the points as well! What I'm saying is just take points.

Same thing. You can't move out of the way of some disaster so you die and lose points getting a new life. Again, dead and loss of points.

That doesn't happen now??????

Since this doesn't exist there's no reason to VOTE! Just throwing out an idea.

Ok... but I was suggesting if this went through that it should take a life and 1000 points on you point-trap. ;) I don't think anything is going to happen.

BTW: Now I'm an expedition leader! Yay! 501th post!

What if certain creatures could trigger events in the game? Like if you accidentally get hit by a scorpion, the door to the next room closes permanently and keeps you from getting the treasure in there? It would be just like taking points away.

Triggered events would be awesome!!!! But how hard to program, that's really the question.
