Game Suggestions & Ideas / Additions/Changes
« on: July 16, 2019, 03:57:00 am »With the grand news of the source code being acquired, I would like to throw some suggestions out.
Mapmaking
- Current heightmap size is 513x513. If possible, it would be nice to allow for more sizes (such as 1024x1024) to accommodate more varied and realistic terrain.
- Support for more texture maps would be nice as well. 6 textures may be enough for some, though I imagine that some projects may require more.
- Add "bios" to objects. Essentially, you could click on - say - a book, and have a rundown of what it entails. This would enhance the quality of roleplay and allow a lot more lore to be toyed around with.
- Interface for maps. Here, the map's history and basic description could be found, along with its credits and current owner. The panel could have a special section for the map's owner to edit.
- Mapmaker permissions. The owner of a map could be specified in the editor and would hold control over the map. Additionally, permissions could be modified in the map's details itself in the panel. They could also edit the 'bios' of objects.
Base Game
- I am unsure of what the current version of the game's engine is, but I am sure it is outdated. If possible, it could be updated along with the shaders. [OGRE and OpenGL/Direct3D9]
Character Creation
- More head shapes would fix a lot of common issues. House cats with the skulls of a lion are pretty terrifying.
- Tail fluff slider. Please.
- Separate options for separate ears and eyes. This could include color and shape, so those without presets could look a little more rad.
Group
- Although I'm sure it's already in the works, a custom ranking system for groups would be nice. Different permissions could be held by different ranks.
- If ranks are added, the ranks could be categorized and collapsed to make searching for members easier. No longer will large groups have to suffer.
Misc.
- Forum integration. This could be displayed in the user panel in game to show how active one is on the forum. Alongside this, a profile picture could be displayed, as well as a signature.
Of course, I imagine some of these may not be possible, but the few that are would be wonderful.
