More Secret Caves

[BethelAbba]

There's an unreleased area of the game with more Arulirs

seriously looking forward to that.... and hopefully to a bit of backstory with them.

I am inclined to add more hidden places. But if we do then I think we will lie about the total number of places you can visit, until someone discovers it/them and posts to the forum

how difficult would be (in code) to flag areas as secrets, therefore being added to separate counter? one for "normal" areas and one for secrets? and only give out the normal area number with new release?
I assume this might be some more work with save migration (as some should be flagged retrospectively), not sure how much, so worst case just have the total as is and start counting secrets separately, so you can say on the release post it will be eg. 514 + secrets (so the game can show you 522 if you have some)

It's a nice idea, and I don't really know how much work it would be to implement this. Probably more than it's worth though. Information about secret areas would leak to the forums, but it's only a small percentage of players that watch the forums closely enough to pick up on that information.

with all games there will be lists of seecrets on the net sooner or laer. that's not wrong, if someone wants the spoiler, he'll look it up, i don't see the issue. the first player to find them might have the feeling of accomplishment for himself

The secret place In the game isn't told in the forums but there is one

[ghormoon]

but it's counted towards the limit of maps. if you separated it, you can then state X normal maps and unknown amounts of secrets are in the new release, so it will be more challenging if you don't know the exact count

[CUCHULAINN3]

That is true. Personally I like knowing the amount give us me something to shoot for

[ghormoon]

Well i guess there would be some secret hunter thread then and they'll tell us if someone reaches the max, it's not that dofferent so maybe nit worth the time

[rijackson741]

There are other things in the game that we don't advertise. Mostly loot that you can find if you look hard enough. Maybe it's only an apple behind a chair, but in one place there's several hundred gp just waiting for you to pick them up. Of course, I'm not going to say where that is

[ghormoon]

Is it in phase of game where several hundred gp does make any sense?
