Re: Lewdest Labyrinth - Dungeon Crawler [Updated Feb 10]
Having just discovered this, tried out latest version last night. Surprisingly entertaining!
That said, still a long way to go I suspect.
-For the clothing loss, I’m thinking of slowing down the grab animation and letting the input to break free start sooner, so that if you make it time from getting grabbed you won’t lose your clothing, I’ll need to experiment. Others have also suggested a dress up command, so maybe.
Clothing loss in general is my #1 complaint right now. Even before I got to the first boss, I was setting "encounter" to high and picking fights, just to boost LP enough to "heal" out of combat, since it was the only way to put clothing back on.
However, the main reason this was an issue is because "nude" stance locked out all other stances.
Solutions:
-As others have suggested, a separate option to "dress" after combat, if nude.
-Allow "Heal" / "Dress" to work
after being trapped. This was another point of frustration, getting hit by a trap renders you naked and the only solution is to fight something. While naked.
-Allow nude versions of combat stances, so being stripped isn't such a death sentence further on. Being caught naked and locked into "nude" stance against an ice golem is pretty much Game Over. (Probably not necessary if either of the above options are a go)
As an addendum, one thing combat is
sorely lacking right now is the "Run the hell away!" option. If I don't want to fight something, I should at least have the
chance to... not.
-I do want Checkpoints/Save points in the game, and I agree that it takes all the tension away. I’d like to implement these as the game becomes more balanced and complete, since right now it’s kind of all over the place and some players have trouble.
Make it a menu option, then? Personally I like having Save available globally.
-Considering the "cartoony" style, I'd disagree that there needs to be "tension" at all, at least where saving is concerned.
-Recommend auto-save when moving to a new map area. Several times I ran into that most infamous of bugs, the "Oops, when was my last save?" Player-Memory Error.
-Costumes would be fun to do, but a lot of work. I’ll take it into more serious consideration once more of the core game is complete.
Definitely throwing my support in for more / alternate outfits.
-I can't say I'm exactly a fan of the current inventory system though (regarding equipment). I found myself using items when I didn't need them, hording them pointlessly (whetstones), or losing items altogether because Nude Stance.
However, the game is getting tons of downloads, so most people just choose not to comment I guess.
Well you got a comment out of me, and I am a
dedicated lurker. First post since joining in 2013. Pat yourself on the back for that one!
