Weekly Challenges w/leaderboards
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2016 5:27 pm
Basically the idea is that once a week the devs come up with a challenge condition and generate a map for the players to attempt this challenge on. Players are ranked on how quickly or how well they complete the challenge, their name is posted on a leader board, and some stat is tacked to their profile, because people love stat tracking. Challenges could be re used from previous weeks so that other players have a chance to de-throne the previous top ranked players, and could range from simple things like harvest x resource, kill x creatures, or build x things, to more complicated scenarios like a fort defense styled map, or something like transport x resources from this end of the map to the other, if the devs are up to it of course. The maps could be hand edited, or just something that was passed through the map generator a few times until they liked it. Map settings would be edited to make the challenge, well, challenging. Things like a scarcity of a certain resource or particularly abundant or aggressive biters.
The idea is that it's something that I think would require relatively low effort from the devs, but provides the players with a fair amount of content to play through. Thoughts?
