Silly but maybe fun idea

[Excrucior]

Hello,

Got this idea out of boredom - Basically, a game mode called somethingoranother (how low can you go :P), where you are faced with an endless onslaught of levels. However, there's no 'beating' it by killing the Cyberdemon or anything else, rather, they'd be encountered as "normal" enemies after a certain level has been reached, though for this idea for work one would need more monsters inbetween the difficulty of Arachnotron and Cyberdemon, and possibly beyond :).

[sn0rb]

Either "Eternal Mode" or "Pit of 100 Trials" =p

Of course, the problem is, sooner or later, you're gonna be chunking Cyberdemons and Arachnotrons and Barons of Hell in the deeper levels- assuming your ammo supply holds out.

The level should always be the same (although there could be variation you can choose from), otherwise its not that different than the normal game. Barrels, ammo, weapons could spawn randomly, so you could call this "Hell's Trash" (yeah, your kinda stuck there :P). Maybe all ennemies could drop some stuff...

Im just throwing idea for this idea, because i like this idea :P

I really like this idea. Although the way I see it it would be Endless or Nonstop mode :-P (yup, that's a DDR reference ^_^). You just go deeper and deeper, as much as you can (somehow as ID in ADOM).

Also I envisioned another similar idea: "The Gauntlet" which would function something like this:

1) there is only one level, shaped like a cross with four "rooms" at each of the corners. The rooms have a few doors through which ONLY monsters may pass. Maybe also add a couple of walls in the middle in the style seen in the left part of Halls of Carnage.

2) the player starts in the middle, with a couple of items lying around -- the items respawn from time to time, also better items respawn the longer you play.

3) monsters are generated in the four rooms. Also, they are generated both more often, and more powerfull. Monster generation is non-stop.

And it starts ;-). Imagine how RED the middle of the level would be after a couple thousand turns :-P.

How do you like that idea?

Arena!

It sounds like it will satisfy my desire for red %'s dottting the screen!

If you want some gauntlet only monsters (because DoomRL fans will hold out more than long enough to see arachs)

Here are some in order of power:

Spider Mastermind
Ravenor (incredibly large hellish dog)
Cyberdemon
Heavy Spider Mastermind (twice as tough, 150% as armed)
Cereberus (Even larger ravenor, with 3 heads)

Now THAT in a gauntlet would be hardcore enough.
Of course, with all those huge, powerful enemies you'd need invulni-spheres and huge guns spawning every 20 turns. Heh heh...

I like both ideas very much. The arena idea brings a game called Phobia 2 to my mind, a small game where ifninite number of aliens come from all around the screen and you have infinite number of ammo for your basic assault rifle. There were also medkits and 3 types of weapons which had limited amount of ammo that appeared randomly.

The game is very addicting. You can get it from http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=3139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here. If you can get it work on newer systems, tell me how you did it, I'd like to play it again.

There's also Phobia III, which has variety of enemies, missions and more weapons. This one actually has its website still running. http://www.redlynx.com/phobiaIII/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Here.

The game is very addicting.

Nothing against you, but I hate both for a single reason : the way you aim. You hold your gun on the side while moving forward... and.. omg it simply look weird and I tried to get used to it, but I couldn't. For that reason alone I think this game isn't even worth the look... the graphics are very good and all but.. it wasn't fun, really...

But eh, if you enjoy it fine for you I guess!

[JimmyJ]

lol...it was ok, but still, yeah, the whole side gun thing was just messed up.....As for korne;'s endless arena idea, i am all for it!

[Anticheese]

And when we have online scoreboards...

Want me to kick your ass? ^_^

Seriously tough, I'd love this idea, but it's quite some work to do. And I wonder what (and weather) cheat preventions should be used.

There is another VERY simmilar game called Crimsonlands ... it is even more addicting thanks to several diffrent weapons and "perks" system ... the bad thing is that the newest version is pay-to-play ... but I think I have older, freeware one if some one wants it ...

[Anticheese]

Crimsonland actually..

I've got the latest version..Its pretty fun to play but one tires from it after a while, I reckon it should be freeware..

Still, Its got a great leveling up system (Perks which give you special abilities) and weapons (From the lowly pistol to the plasma cannon, Allthough the latter is overrated)

Weapons & perks are unlocked in the campaign mode..

Ion Cannon is better than Plasma one ... but actually the best weapon is Plasma Shotgun :P

[Anticheese]

Amen to that!

Allthough I prefer the gauss shotgun.

A really great trick is to get the angry reloader trait and the pulse gun.

Then hold down the middle button and you are an instant plasma generator
