Nyarlophotehp's Big Ideas

Here are my ideas for improving Glitch that I want you, my fellow game players and admins to check out:
~Live Chat, like in Warcraft
~Rest Houses-pay like 500 currants to get mood and energy refilled, like just a random thing sold like a street vendor.
~Pets following you?
~Maybe have jobs, like a more serious quest that you can constantly subscribe to similar quests, etc. maybe a guild
~Can the single power-ups for mood, money, energy, etc. be a little bigger? They're sometimes tricky to see
~useful gear, clothes that let you do something, eg jump higher, walk further, disguise yourself
~WE NEED MORE MORE SKILLS!!! maybe a lot more advancements in each field, or buearacratic things.
~weather in Glitch World
~We need to be able to know which giant's mind we're inside, and maybe go on a quest to find and meet a smaller version of a giant, eg: go on a quest where you help somebody out and Humbaba shows up and commends your actions.

  • Not sure about lots of these, though I love that you threw out a bunch of ideas (don't forget to search forums though because I think many of these are mentioned in other threads). I love the idea of more skills and skill trees. I suspect that must be in the offing because otherwise you may run out of things to do. There are lots of threads about possible new skills...

  • -Live chat: what do you meant by this? We have Local Chat, which is displayed to anyone on your street, the Help Channel, which is displayed to all of Ur, private IM, and party chat, which is displayed to whomever you choose. I don't know how much more Live you can get...?
    -Rest Houses: Hmm. This might work, but I think part of the challenge of the game is to get energy through food and quoins, like in real life (minus the quoins). Being able to "buy energy" seems too easy.
    -Following Pets: Yes, yes, please :) There have been plenty of discussions on this, and I completely agree.
    -Quoins: By single power-ups, you do mean quoins, right? I don't know...they might get annoying if they were too big. They're sort of an out-of-the-way aspect of the game.
    -Skills: More skills are definitely coming.
    -Weather: This has been suggested lots of times. I love the idea, though I don't know whether it'll ever happen.
    -Giants: Could you explain a little more what you mean by this? About the being inside of minds--you're not really in the mind of one specific giant, it's just the giants' imagination as a whole. And as for talking to different giants...well, this might be just me, but I kind of like that the giants are withdrawn--makes them seem more mysterious.

  • While reading that over, it seemed like I was just shooting down each of your ideas--sorry about that :) They are great ideas, just might not be plausible for the game.

  • Well a lot of the ideas I had are from the perspective of a level five Glitch, so don't rule me out as a total idiot.
    I want to clarify the live chat, quoins and giants things.
    Live chat: Like an audio input so you can literally chat with other players.
    Quoins: I just think for observational sake they should be a bit more visual.
    Giants: This'll be like the ultimate Glitch quest, where you need to use the skills you learn to go on a really long adventure where you can meet a manifestation of one of the giants, eg the one who you have the most favor with.

  • Hmm, audio chat--that's actually a really interesting idea.

  • Maybe just in the groups though? It would somehow have to be small groups I think otherwise it would just be people yelling over one another to be heard...at least I could see it turning to that.

    Does anyone see the connection between this and the show Guild? :P

  • Oh, definitely--it would never work in the Help Channel or anything.

  • Maybe just with friends, even some of the group chats would be to large I imagine.

  • Of course it'll have to be a small group, or else it'll be hectic, loud, and obnoxious to tune into those chat options.
