Thank you so much. Really glad to hear you like the new additions and changes.
one of your enemies is a yorp from commander keen! very cute. he likes pushing me into walls, the bastard.
Hehe yeah I think the inspiration for that one is pretty clear if you've played Keen.
line of sight is kinda weird. unsure how i feel about it.
I wouldn't really call it line of sight, walls and stuff won't occlude your vision but levels have different amounts of light and affect how far you can see. Other light sources can let you see further. So yeah it shouldn't really be noticeable except for the dungeon levels right now, but for regular levels I don't think I've changed how it works for several versions.
i'd consider doing more with the "dungeon" aspect. perhaps a room can have a random chance to just have a gun spawned (and that isn't dragged to the end portal on level end?)
I do agree something like that would be interesting and fun. I'm just being careful about adding things like that because the game isn't really about exploration, and you know if I carelessly add something that you have to search a level to find it'll change the dynamic of the game because if you can find something like that there what's to say there isn't stuff hidden in all other levels? I just don't want players running around empty maps looking for things, kinda like when you realize there are secret doors in Wolfenstein3D and you start humping every wall just to find them.
Maybe I'll put a chest visible on the radar or something. And if you open it it spawns a bunch of enemies too hehehe.
runes shouldn't disappear when the portal is up
Yeah I don't see why not, I've changed it.
i'd like more "gun mod shrines" if possible...
I need to do a gun pass and improve a bunch of things about them and have more possibilities like "look at this stupid fucking gun, it's got the silliest fucking mods, i'm going to use it" yeah. I've been thinking if I should remove rest sites and shops etc. and attach them to the end/start of regular levels instead. Or make the "overworld" longer and have more types of non-combat onces. I'm leaning on the first option, what do you think?
i often get shield specialist as a level up choice. too often. i don't particularly like shields, even!
I think I'm gonna fudge the numbers a bit for the random skills. But hey there's always re-rolling!
some guns (like the super shotgun or faust) have a very long windup time. it might benefit from a timer or some information
Yeah I know, I haven't really figured out how I wanna go about it yet.
