Borderlands' chests doesn't give XP! If they gave some, you could just farm them without confronting any enemy! :p

They just makes the challenges advances. In the one these challenges gave you an XP bonus (but you had to open craploads of them to have like 3k xp) and in the following games these just give you badass points.

Oh right, but didn't quest completion give some XP?

Quest completion does and in fact is one of the most important xp source. You could do quests for hours but once you progress in the scenario, you directly confront harder enemies and gain more xp.

I always saw quest XP more as a way to lure causal RPG fans into MMORPGs and vice-versa

I personally don't have plans to ever implement that in my games except if it's a quest that gives more power, else it kinda feels weird if you suddenly become stronger just for delivering a letter to the former queen or something.

But to each his own I guess. I don't mind playing games with such stuff.

That said, two of my RPGs actually had some form of quest exp/gold reward: If you beat the secret boss in Illusiat 3 complete one of the Illusiat 6 arena challenge, you are rewarded with maxed out inventory and level.

(Although maybe the Illusiat 3 thing might not count, but the experience is acquired after you exited the fight, not at the end of it)

S'like Spore and its gift when you reach the galaxy's center, it's like a post-ending gift, then, right?

Why not doing a second walkthrough? THe same places and enemies, but otugher and starting at a level you expect the palyer to be when he finishes the game?

Do you mean unlocking a new difficulty?

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · April 08, 2015, 04:41:14 PM

Some sort of, yeah.

Or you could just save the players level maybe?

Dream of Omnimaga · April 09, 2015, 06:50:47 PM

That could work too. It would be a bit like New Game + in Chrono Trigger. But it's best to give people a reason to replay the game really.

By the way how is this progressing? IIRC it was mostly complete but you didn't want to release it until First Fantasy was out, but I forgot.

It's going good! I've added a name to each of the encounters so now you know if you're fighting the final boss and stuff. I just didn't want Solius to be overshadowed by quite frankly a better game (as I've played it, and it's really fun). That doesn't mean that Solius is a bad game, because I certainly have fun playing. And I might add different worlds and stuff with different encounters to fight, once you beat the game.

Ooh nice new stuff getting added. I was worried you forgot about this game and to release it after it was completed lol. And glad you like FF. I can't wait to play Solius.

Outerme, I haven't really foun time to check for difficulty lately, but so far it seems that the 4x4 and 5x5 maps are hard, but beatable. Which is good, in my opinion. Anyways, yeah I haven't really found time so I might be able to get some testing in before the release but who knows.

123outerme · May 20, 2015, 03:01:10 PM

I've been away for a long time, but I've finally released Solius! Check the OP for the download.

Dream of Omnimaga · May 20, 2015, 03:55:56 PM

Heya, nice to see you again. I'm gonna try the game soon. Can't wait for new games from you.

EDIT: I downloaded it and it looks kinda nice, but how do you beat monsters? The first enemy I ran into (about 6 rooms later) caused 52 damage while I only caused 12 and I died in 2 hits
