In-Game Death Idea

Post by towcar »

I've heard the idea of players dieing in a game and people usually are turned off.

Just an idea, is if you die. Your stats are passed on but your traits may very same with equipment.

I just felt like sharing this :)

i have always liked the idea of perma death. Makes people try harder and not do such foolish things.

I always have too - but I have qualms about people dying from lag, and if you code around that, then they purposefully lag out to keep from dying... it gets complicated :)

Yeah makes it more real. In most games I will attempt something harebrained if there is a good reward even if I think there is a large chance I will die because you can just revive and be fine.

Should just have a variable penalty when you die. Like, lose a percentage of experience, or even an item.

An unsual idea would be that when you died, that is it, you need to make a new character :)

My idea for my game is that, when you die you change into another race and then you must work extremely hard to change back :)
