Gameplay. Fighting

[DSivtsov]

RoadMap card

@RoadMap card

Fighting in the game is only allowed with hostile characters ($14z: Critters) and against designated targets that can be smashed, like barrels.

Question1. When some designated target did smash (like barrel), if protagonist is very close he will lose some health?
Propose1:

• to have short range and long range weapon.
• designated target smashed by short range protagonist receive damage

@RoadMap card

All of the characters who fight have a certain amount of energy.
Energy is lost by getting hit in a fight, and it can be recharged by picking up specific items.

Question2. When the protagonist does lose health how it will be fluence on him?
Propose2:

• it must influence on his possibilities carry capacity in inventory (more detail in UI wireframing tread )

@RoadMap card

When the energy is depleted, they faint. Enemies just play a faint animation and then they remain in that position indefinitely. For the protagonist, it plays a faint animation and goes into $151: Game over state.

Question3. Will the enemy have a partial control zone in one location or it will see all zone at ones? And protagonist can leave enemy control zone only by changing location (“run from enemy”)?
Propose3:

• different enemy have different control zone
• some enemy “see” only at short range, and can be get around and attack from backward by short range weapon without damage (or skip first attack from enemy or made attack and thant quick return to safe distance)

Question4. Will be difference between the enemy faint and full his death? Can he restored from faint and be ready to fight again (if protagonist doesn’t leave enemy control zone)?
Propose4:

• will be cool if enemy can be leaved in different states: faint or full death (it give more different gameplay and different ways to play protagonist role - “bad or good hero”)

@cirocontinisio Could you link the corresponding RoadMap card to this threads (If I made all right)

[cirocontinisio]

As I said in the other thread the cards in the Game Design wiki deck are not tasks, so we’re not working on those yet.
Also, I appreciate all the ideas, but we are trying to keep the gameplay simple. Feature creep is real on this project, if you know what I mean
Plus, any and all extra gameplay needs to be explained (for instance, you lose health > your inventory shrinks, what happens? you lose objects?) so for now we really want to keep it to a minimum, and expand after we have the basics in place.
