Notes

If the game whitescreens for you (in Chrome), please disable hardware acceleration.

TODO

• Meta-currency (and benefits)
  • SP (every turn taken = 1 step)
    • Assignable behaviors & more behavior types
    • More starting equipment (unlock certain starting equipment tiers)
    • Temporary enchantments, blessings, uncursings, etc (spent in the meta, apply to current game only)
    • Better tombstones (per character)
    • More border style choices (style = character[s] + color)
    • Higher SP multiplier
    • Game speed slider
  • KP (monsters are worth different amounts of points)
    • Stronger monsters (ie, their stats are overall better)
    • Expand item drop variety (ie, their starting equipment is better)
    • Higher KP multiplier
  • VP (you get points for surviving the dungeon, your conduct is worth lots of points)
    • More floor types (caves, mines, towns, etc) (see here for possible branch types)
    • Better items generated on the floor (more charges, enchanted, some items removed from the pool, etc)
    • Possibly unlock a dungeon editor (you can rearrange what floors are in what order, and how many of them spawn)
    • Guaranteed N artifact generations
    • Higher VP multiplier
• Achievements (worth VP, some worth recurring VP to a lesser extent)
  • Beat game with one party member @ level X (10, 25, 50, 100)
  • Beat game with one party member where dungeon size >= X (10, 25, 50, 100)
  • Unlock all Y (Y = party member slots, behaviors, traits, classes, races, colors, pets, dungeon floor types, dungeon features)
  • Get a dungeon of size X (10, 20, 30, 40, 50...)
  • Customize a player (template slot | color | pet | tombstone)
  • Deck out a player (template slot, color, pet, tombstone)
  • Get an item enchanted to +5, +7, +9

Pre-release

• Analysis tool to make sure stats/etc are declared properly (they may need to be moved to the prototype so they can be imported)
• Assertions, unit tests, logging, general code refactoring / cleanup
• IRC bot (Selyk) to announce major events (deaths, etc)
• Track statistics (games played, monsters killed, killed by, total SP/KP/VP, features interacted with [doors opened, etc])
• Refactor / reorg / unit tests for classes
• Conventional changelog for bump/release
• Import/export savefile and reset game
• More messages! Make sure the messages line up with with the game better, ie, show:
  • descend
  • game over
  • other special events (sitting on a throne, interacting with a fountain, etc)

Idea Bucket (TBD)

• Should the number of floors and what each floor was factor into VP? Probably. Same with player level.
• Gravestones should use deaths from other players to spawn occasionally. also, they should get a death message. maybe also store deaths in the firebase
• Chests and other containers
• More intricate death messages ("while asleep" "while stunned")
• Catchable ammo, recoverable ammo
• Gems: random category, unidentifiable until the end of the game
• Scrolls: only usable by players? (ie, not the characters in the dungeon)
• Traps in the dungeon (also implement levitation)
• Deities (also, add altars as dungeon features and temples as possible rooms)
• Conflict trait
• More floor types such as this
• More victory types leading through various dungeons (similar to SelykAltar, generate a few extra floors at the bottom)
• Possibly allow people to use a slider to determine the relative generatability of room types
• Allow fountains to also spurt out pools onto the floor
• Themed rooms (Oracle room, Throne room, Bathroom, Graveyard)
  • More here
• Artifact Weapons
• Reflection (and an amulet, cloak)
• Magic resistance (for some monsters, and a cloak)
• Forgetful trait - you can only know what you see, the rest you forget (ie, explored hash is useless)
• Use known healing potions or use random potions when dying (also, allow people to manually use potions)
• heavy weapons (maces, greatmaces) that have knockback on their attacks (or bonus damage if the target is against a wall)
• Random colored stars on the respawn screen
• Random dungeon afflictions/bonuses (+120% SP gain, -3 con, etc)
• Pick better spells randomly
  • Potions as well (possibly, players interact with these things)
  • don't always pick healing potions -- random potions if healing is not identified -- maybe some kind of weighting for situations to try new things? "danger sense"?
  • implement more spellbooks and wands that incorporate buffs (possibly if you're not in combat, attempt to buff yourself, based on the buffs you have)
• Polymorph self
  • Chameleons can do this
• Corrision
  • -1 enchantLevel hit with a corrosionPercent chance of happening, adds "corroded" to name if < 0
  • add CorrodesWhenHit and a corrosion attribute to the attack that both do the same thing. Or maybe a CorrodeOnHit behavior?
  • Black Pudding
  • only affects corrodable items
• Burning
  • on a burn attack, everything has a chance of burning (if burnable), or explode (if explodable)
• More dungeon types
  • Mines
  • Town (arena with shops in it, or a digger with empty spaces/corridor spaces replaced with basic tile)
  • Big Room
  • Fortress
  • Swamp
  • Flooded
  • Castle
  • Lava floes
• figure out instance decorators for materials, glyphs, slotsTaken, etc
