I think there should be achievements in the game? I mean achievements with prizes accordingly

Like:

Achievement unlocked!
Warm Up!

kill your first enemy boss
(You gained 110 exp)

I like the idea. And have hall of fame containing types and numbers of monsters you've killed. But i guess the most important thing is getting more content out there :lol:

Both good ideas, an in game real time tracking hall of fame would be cool, just seeing the highest scores and the names of other players would make for better community experience - maybe the Shadow temple can house the halls of fame in each town, or the pubs.

Achievements are certainly something we've discussed in the past and are very open to adding to the game.

If a few people in the community can get together and come up with a well thought out and formatted list of achievements we could see them being implemented sooner vs later. As with all things on the project the teams priority always swings toward new content and fixing up existing content/bugs.

There won't ever be a high score system in game as we are strongly against internet access as a game requirement.

Not requiring internet access is a good thing, so maybe the high scores like most kills etc can be etched in stone by including them somehow into the storyline for the when game is actually completed - that way it would honour some of the long time players while at the same time letting new players see what players before them have achieved and see the names of others who've made achievements. I thinking like referring to names and high scores somehow thorough the story lore - like npcs mentioning rumours of so and so killing x number and whatever happened to that guy etc.

That would still require internet access, as well as permissions that your game can send us data, and a server at our end (which we don't have) to receive the information. I won't even get into the changes needed to make that stuff automagically appear in the game.

Oh, I meant without internet access totally, so no changes need to be made to the game. The way to collect high scores would just like how input from players is currently being collected, which is from this forum - players could post pictures of whatever achievement they think is worthy enough, and the developers can assess them at their own convenience and request more proof if they want. Then developers can decide on their own if any submissions are worthy enough to be added to the final game story. This would be a incredible honour for any player to somehow be mentioned or included or referred to somehow in the actual storyline of the finished game! How little or how much reference is of course at the total discretion of the developers, it could a sign on the road or it could be writing on a tomb or it could be something a npc talks about - whatever. If anything it will increase discussion and interest on this forum at the very least with people posting whatever they think is worthy and posting what sort of mention they deserve.

Sounds like a lot of work for us :shock:

Not very representative of players as a whole either, since the vast majority do not post to these forums.

Ahaha yeah it totally easier to have ideas for others to work on. I also agree that the vast majority of players scores won't be included since they don't post here, but it also easier to be fun when you don't have to be fair - it'd be fun to see some game content about some achievements by some reallife players even if there might be other scores/achievements out there that eclipse them and weren't included.

I'm happy with letting the brags stay on the forum.

Right now there's only one tribute to a former player actually in the game, and it's not because of a high score.
