 Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 12:56 pm Post subject: Adventure Screen What?!!?!?! |
Well this is going to be a non typical survey. Since there aren't any predefined options to select.
What I would like to know is.. In a 2d / text game there is the main adventure screen (The one you see the most). What is essential to have present on this screen at all times?
Your answers are much appreciated and if you know whats really going on here O.O like you've been following my stream of posts your ideas may very well be used  |

If you're talking like a RPG, I think the most important thing is to have a life bar/counter and possibly a map of current area. Anything else is mostly a nice bonus for me, but not essential. |

Well it's good to have a screen with all the items you have collected as with those kinds of games it's vital to know what you have that may be relevant to progressing with the story. Other than that I can't imagine what else to add, except maybe a map like was said before. Perhaps a place to put clues that could be figured as solutions to puzzles.... |

Some clarification:
Is this a Zork type game?
Or a game like castle
I guess it depends what is going on.
If I am just walking around I would like to see the name of the area I am in and the "standard" directions that are available(N,E,S,W).
Additional information can always be found via commands(look, stats, examine, inv, info, ect.)
In combat, of course, the battle stats are #1 |

Well for clarification. It is going to be mainly a text based game. But nothing like the graphically challenged things that sectoid came up with. Will eventually get into walking around and extra stuff but not for the first release. All the normal "typable" commands will be buttons. |

So it'll be like Peasant's Quest? If so then yeah, HP and MP are fine. |
