Revision as of 04:35, 4 November 2017
This is a list of open projects in dNethack
Increase Game-to-Game Variability
- Elements of the early branches should be randomized
- Randomize Chaos Quest
- Since this quest is currently based on FFI, this would be a good place to introduce almost anything
- Randomize Vlad's Tower
- Vlad & Co don't always have to be the boss, either
- More minetown/mines end variations
- One suggesting is an Orc-occupied minetown paired with a refugee-occupied mines end
- Medusa variants
- Echo: if the character makes a loud noise near her, the echo has some seriously bad effect (level drain to 1/2 current?). Should be made to test Stealth + player skill, Concave amulet 'reflects' the noise, Convex amulet deflects it harmlessly. Drain resistance would protect against the level drain
- Grue
- Siren
- Randomize Chaos Quest
- I think it would be really cool if (something similar to) the Laws of the Grokodus were in effect in the dungeons of doom.
Dungeon Rooms
- Upper dungeon should be more distinct from lower dungeon
- Example is dilapidated armory vs barracks
- Have been wanting to make "cave room", an irregular eroded room for the upper dungeon.
- Statue garden/figurine room
- Trip back up the dungeon should be distinct from trip down it
- Ex: Dread Seraphs wake up, weeping angels call in friends and become more aggressive, Uvuudaums cease meditating and attack.
- Amulet should probably block even things like cursed gain level potions, def things like teleport-to-upstairs.
Quest Improvements
- The early part of the Neutral quest (the neutral quest proper, before Lost Cities) could use to be made more neutral-y
- One potentially-interesting idea is to introduce a 3 or 4 way fight between Rilmani, Kamerel, and servants of Tharizdun
- Neutral characters would probably be ignored by Rilmani and Kamerel, Tharizdun followers would be hostile to everyone, the three sides would fight each-other via grudge.
- Downsides: Requires a new monster class for Rilmani, Kamerel probably added to the already-overcrowded @ symbol, and whatever ends up representing Tharizdun's followers.
- One potentially-interesting idea is to introduce a 3 or 4 way fight between Rilmani, Kamerel, and servants of Tharizdun
- Quest changes
- Pantheon-specific Priest home levels
- Race-specific Binder locate levels (ie, Drow should have an underground city, elves should probably have an elf village, etc.) The goal level remains the same, but the left-hand side could be re-dressed to account for different locate levels.
- Binder needs Astaroth bell solution fixed (Astaroth should ring the bell once then set a 10%-of-normal cooldown on itself), needs method to retain atheist conduct and still ascend.
New Roles
- Reverse role: Start in gehennom, travel up to heaven to steal the Amulet back before it can be returned to the Gods
- How can starting in gehennom be made interesting?
- Want to use Charon's crossing in place of the castle
- This one has... ?dnethack lore?... considerations.
- Alchemists might be nice to have, if a good mechanic could be created. I recently saw someone suggest letting them split dangerous potions into vials that could be thrown, stretching their potion ammo.
