Simulation Terminals

(1/4) > >>

Generic:
After reading the DeHackEd request (I kinda like it, BTW)  and the 'play DoomRL in DoomRL and break the fourth wall completely', I had a silly little idea that may actually mean something; simulation terminals!

Basically, these are & signs, which, when used, provide you with a choice of weapon, and and difficulty level to play in. The weapons are:
* A plasma rifle with infinite cells, overcharge disabled, and EE 2,
* a fastload double shotgun, Hellrunner 2, and infinite shells, or
* a chainsaw (4d10), and Brute 2.

You spawn in a Halls of Carnage-like zone minus the lava and soul spheres in plasma rifle challenges, Hell's Arena-esqe for shotgun and chainsaw.

The difficulties are:

Easy: You regenerate one HP every second, and:
*Plasma rifle: have to fend off human captains that have EE 1.
*Shotgun: have to take out a high amount of hell knights. It's easier than it sounds, trust me. :)
*Chainsaw: rip apart cacodemons. Fun, eh?

Medium: You regenerate two HP every second, and:
*Plasma rifle: have to mutilate former commandos with EE 1.
*Shotgun:  turn mancubi into pools of blood.
*Chainsaw: annihilate hell knights.

Hard: You regenerate three HP every second, and:
*Plasma rifle: Have to kill lots and lots of arachnotrons. Oh lawdy.
*Shotgun: Also arachnotrons. Have fun.
*Chainsaw: Barons of hell, and pain elementals. Good luck.

Blade: Same as hard, but you don't regenerate HP. Only do this if you like suicide.

You keep 33% of the XP you won in easy, 50% in medium, 75% in hard, and you keep it all in Blade.
There's no risk of death here, but time will pass as normal when you're playing the simulation. The game will alert you when enemies appear. You can pause by hitting the @ key.

So how are you going to flame me to death for this one? :P

Yea, it could be nice to keep experience from this! Good idea! :D But double shooty and mancubi.. oh mama

But it's turn based?! o.O

Otherwise, this sounds pretty fun but... I just think that if all these new requests like this would be implemented, there's hardly any DoomRL left.. You know what I mean right? =P
Perhaps keep the idea for when modding will be possible?

Hipster Scumbag:
The experience gain would be too much, it's not Doomlike, etc etc etc.  This could be okay as a "training room" mode or scenario play or wizard mode or something for trying out different builds against different enemies, but it really has no place in the core game.

It's not actually too hard. Just keep running, and the HR 2 will have you dodge most shots. You'll still get hit some, so you may need to take cover behind a pillar once or twice, but otherwise...

Yeah, maybe I shoulda explained that a little. By 'pausing', I mean breaking out of the simulation (most likely to kill the new threat that appeared).

How about 'no, I'm an impatient, whiny bastard who will hunt you down and whine until you're either deaf, or dead'?
Nah, just kidding... :P

Remember Super Turbo Turkey Puncher Three? This is kinda like that, except you get to choose a gun, and a difficulty, and you move around, and it's one-use (did I say that?). Oh, and you don't have vacation time docked for playing a stupid game all the time.
And before you ask about hell, demons need entertainment too, and what better way than to simulate the guy they're trying to kill and them have him murder every single member of the "Mancubi on Stilts" club? Remember, mancubi don't have hands, so they can't play.
