Some news about the latest innovations.
First, I begged for a system of resources. It was: drawings, parts, food and crystals. Honestly, 4 resources are a lot for such a small game, and even such incomprehensible ones.
Therefore, I decided to do this: there are crystals of organics and synthetics, as well as crystals of minerals, which are the catalyst for any production.
Secondly, before a player could build as many turrets as he wanted if he had enough resources. The disadvantage of this method is that the player needs to be remembered, but will he have enough resources to build a turret at a crucial moment? How to quickly select the desired module for construction?
Now, the player can carry with him only one set to build the desired module. Kits are in special boxes that open for resources. The screenshot shows a box with a kit for assembling a turret. The set will fall out when the player spends 7 minerals and 10 synthetics.
Thirdly, I refuse the automatic character pumping system. Now the player can reach a maximum of 10th level and each level he automatically increases strength, dexterity or intelligence. The minus of such pumping is independence of the player’s choice Even if you give the player the opportunity to distribute skill points himself, he will quickly get tired of it during a game session of 20-30 minutes and only 3 characteristics.
Therefore, I decided to leave the levels of the hero and add items that modify the player. For example, a player can go to the dungeon and find shoes in which you can safely run on acid, etc. With this approach, the player is decoupled from the three characteristics, and I can create new items even after the release of the game.
Fourth, I want to change the setting slightly. So far, this is just an idea that sounds like this: far from civilization, everyone is a little wild, especially when the home planet is a million light years from you. This decline is manifested in the fact that rural life is mixed with sci-fi: a hole in the space base can be patched with a board, and on this antenna you can dry your laundry, etc.
Therefore, there is an idea to redraw some elements and create some surroundings. What do you think?
