In the Shadows

What I just thought about how to do a reward for not getting spotted -

Introducing permadeath would do it. As a Nightmare mode perhaps (didn't Diablo have something like that?)

The reward would be surviving the game, and bragging rights.

Picking a reward for completing a map without being seen or killing anything is going to be tricky because it should not be something too powerful but also fun to get. I might try and code a flash bomb and see how it feels within the game. Sort of like a once only ultimate escape gadget. Could also try unlocking a special area in the hub map, like an assassins grotto or something. Another cool item could be stun / freeze bolts, nothing overly powerful.

re: permadeath
This would be tricky to implement because there is a quick save/load function and people could just backup save files and restore them when they want to keep going.

How about some kind of temporary remote viewer able to look around the next corner?Out of body thing where you would be vulnerable when you are OOB having a limited distance from your physical body.

Or maybe a feature like being able to temporarily possess a monster.

if you beat a map with flawless stealth you get to play sudoku or hidalto.

Double thumbs up from me as well, Sock! Looks ace.

More testing

Been busy the last couple of weeks writing some new AI functions (jump and route trigger nodes) and I needed a quick test map to iron out any bugs. As ID were kind enough to release the source files of the original Quake maps I felt it was time for things to get more medieval! I am sure everyone will recognize the map locations as it is probably the most played map of the entire game.

I have no clue cause I don't play Quake, but whoever made that map is (mapping) God (imo). I would trade 1 nut to be that talented at mapping.

*odd, but the left one protested upon typing that. Maybe I got my wish. Imma go see.

Edit: nope, I still suck.

Hello sock,

I already mentioned it on the 1st page of your thread, and can only repeat myself in a positive way.

Your maps look fantastic !
And you give them exactly the ambience/visual that I love so much.
The "fantasy"-style in every interpretation (if castle, or dungeon, or ...)

I am very impressed.
Thank you.
