|
|
- Anything Already Added
|
|
|
|
|
- If something already exists in the game then it will not
|
|
|
|
|
be added.
|
|
|
|
|
- Please play though the game enough to understand what is
|
|
|
|
|
already in the game before making suggestions.

|
|
|
- Mobs/Animals
|
|
|
|
|
- Things that are "off-grid" are discouraged. Node-based
|
|
|
|
|
"staybs" could at least fit the mechanics, but entity-based
|
|
|
|
|
creatures that move freely do not. Use of /clearobjects
|
|
|
|
|
should not remove key gameplay elements as long as the game
|
|
|
|
|
is allowed to "quiesce" first.
|
|
|
|
|
- Monsters that are easy to understand and deal with would not
|
|
|
|
|
fit the games theme or play style. Threats need to be subtle,
|
|
|
|
|
insidious, and indirect. Threats that offer no direct
|
|
|
|
|
cathartic response (i.e. bashing it to death) also fit the
|
|
|
|
|
theme better, as well as threats that can be turned around and
|
|
|
|
|
exploited as resources once mastered (but remain a threat if
|
|
|
|
|
handled carelessly).
|
|
|
|
|
- NodeCore pacing requires that dangers to a player should be
|
|
|
|
|
consequences of the player's own decisions, and not something
|
|
|
|
|
that can be blamed on environment or chance. Having monsters
|
|
|
|
|
spawn spontaneously and stalk the player would be problematic.
|
|
|
|
|
- NodeCore "conservation" mechanics discourage having things
|
|
|
|
|
spawn spontaneously at all, and they would need to be part of
|
|
|
|
|
mapgen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Food/Hunger
|
|
|
|
|
- Players are like ethereal beings who visit the world only
|
|
|
|
|
temporarily and are not subject to injury or survival
|
|
|
|
|
mechanics within the world.
|
|
|
|
|
- Things that focus a mechanic on/through the player do not
|
|
|
|
|
fit the world-centric/node-centric theme of the game.
|
|
|
|
|
- Using food items to provide things like temporary buffs is
|
|
|
|
|
likely to be a lot of effort and likely to be skipped by most
|
|
|
|
|
players.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Beds
|
|
|
|
|
- There is no night to skip, and players have no need for sleep.
|
|
|
|
|
- Bed-like structures can be made out of existing nodes. Purely
|
|
|
|
|
decorative elements that are not fungible do not fit the
|
|
|
|
|
game's design.
