Revenge's fatigue system used a similar "special called every step" trick, so it shouldn't cause issues.

In other words, you use a special item to say where you want to teleport to, take a step, and end up there? No, I don't think anyone has done that before. Sounds cool.

The concept of a "reward" is a bad one in game design, I think. If your scenario is so boring that you have to give the player rewards for playing it, well, you have bigger issues than deciding what the reward should be.

 

In short, the scenario should be its own reward. Regardless of whether the fun comes from flashy cutscenes, fun combat, a good story, a mix of them all, or something else entirely, as long as it's fun to play, you're set.

I'm struggling to find anything constructive to say here.

I feel plaigarised.

Demon, by Khoth. Unfortunately, the spell doesn't quite function the way I'd like, but still.

There's a BoE scenario with the anvil spell implemented. Just so you know.

It's already been done somewhat in A Small Rebellion. Mind, having done something before doesn't seem to to discourage Jeff from doing it again...

I suppose it would depend on the PE teacher in question.

I would argue that the definition of "Demon" is pretty much "a being of pure evil", so giving them some other motivation may not be appropriate.

 

I would argue that for this reason, they are a really bad idea.

 

I want Jeff to stop telling the story of Avernum and start telling the story of a few people who happen to live in Avernum.

???

No they aren't. "Here's an enemy to beat" isn't a good premise for anything.

4.2? Not optimistic, eh?

F3.

Okay. I'll have to do it without magic or only using one hand or something...

Is beating the demo with a singleton worth bragging about in any way? Because I'm not likely to register.

 

EDIT: On Torment, of course.

That's great! I've always liked The Leaving.

I realise I'm late to the party here, but I find it amusing that TM doesn't know the correct meaning of the term McGuffin .

Dammit. It was the other guy who did the node work, but I thought I knew that one.

I don't believe you can place fields with specials. But what you can do is make an ash item or terrain type and place that.

LL: Thanks, but someone who actually knows BoE may be a preferable option.

 

TM: Email coming your way.

I'd say Johnny Favourite.

 

Quintessence would be a lot of work, but would benefit a lot from a really good porting job. The Gem would be so fun in 3D.

 

Anyway, I've redownloaded BoE, and am making an effort to design a scenario. But no promises. I'm looking for someone to throw ideas against - anyone up for it?

...the heck? If you're going to convert a BoE scenario, there are heaps of great options available now. You don't need to wait for Drakey to make one.
