I wonder if these could be more ideal for a public game since on public games if someone plays a full campaign, there's no guarantee that someone will beat it fully without crutches because there is always a chance that something will go wrong. I was wondering if a rogue like no respawn until the next floor or until game over will be more ideal for custom maps on public servers. Ideally length of game would be from 15 minutes to an hour. I like longer campaigns too but I prefer playing them with closer friends or more organize groups to avoid wasting too many lives. Well, there’s also solo.
I also thought instead of the typical buy one attribute upgrade, you can also choose mod the tweak folder in the hammerwatch editor to change all the characters starting attributes and skills and also make a vendor that sells perks instead of upgrades to make characters have either more lives, less lives, more damage, less damage, mana, etc. I wonder if that would be a good idea. There aren’t too many custom maps, by wonder if there were a flood of quickly made short custom maps be good or not with a few tweaks on the workshop be a bad idea or a good idea.
I’m not so sure about continuing the campaign I am working on either since I lost motivation. Maybe I aim a bit too high with custom content for larger campaign and such too much.
I know the random dungeon generator someone made in Java can make something fast, but it can be kind of tasteless and it is quite buggy and it needs some sort of maximum value since it’s not foolproof so you can set a value too high and lag the game.
I wonder how a boss fight generator would work if it was not random, but someone pick a premade map and a boss, whether to have lives or no lives, how much money to buy upgrades, what kind of upgrades or perks is available, and what boss to fight or bosses.
Sorry for the long post, I am just brainstorming. I figure out that I can’t commit on a project that’s big too long at the moment balancing school and life without support. I might just release my incomplete campaign source files if I really gave up. I couldn’t work on it too much juggling with multiple things. I figured small-scale stuff might be easier to make but I was wondering whether it was ideal for this game or if anyone is interested.
