Stendhal Quest Ideas/Game - Jail Break: Difference between revisions

This might be more of a game/player event than a quest. (Game if players vs players, Quest if player vs npcs).

Could be very hard to balance well. Will probably take several attempts to tune.

Conversation on this topic here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/arianne/forums/forum/83598/topic/4657836.

All ideas on the forum thread will be integrated in to this page.

Another cool idea (but probably tough to implement): just found player transparency in the code.

Could implement something like hiding/camouflage, esp along edges of forests, ...

(From capture the flag wiki page: how would a ground-colored outfit look?)

Could make it a chained quest: capture a gang leader, everyone in gang

* start out with clue to find some low-level member, in town

* capture them, need to find out from them where the hideout is.

* work your way up, tougher and tougher captures, until "the boss", and probably several of his guards.

== How do you capture someone? ==

One of the main things i don't get yet is how can you capture someone

if everyone is the same speed?

* you don't, the game is about something else?

* projectile weapons

** esp from multiple angles, multiple hunters

** would be better if there were some skill at shooting

*** have to click the direction you want the projectile to go, and if fugitive zags, can dodge

* speed modifiers

** arrows slow people down, more than, or instead of, damage

** maybe a potion can give you brief super speed

(Note: i think the same issues probably apply to capture the flag kinds of games)

Maybe i need to see how soccer works

== Plan ==

* baby step: NPC that says ouch when hit
