Character Level Ups and Unlocks
Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 4:42 pm
An OPTIONAL character levelling mode, in which launching a rocket grants a level up, (first rocket launch per game only). Upon levelling up, you get to select a "skill" or "technology" to carry with you into future new games in this game mode.
E.g. Play first game. Launch Rocket. Level up! Select +2% Mining Output. Play second and third games with +2 Mining Output. Launch Rockets during both. Level up x2. Select Cost 2 level up points: "Start with power armor" upgrade.
To work with multiplayer, would have to ignore overlapped upgrades. But equipment based upgrades could be individual to each player.
A key benefit to have such a game mode is to offer an alternative to the end game loop from how it is now - (Repeatedly launch rockets for an exclusive research pack type) - to a loop that goes around to starting a new game. That is, a full loop, as opposed to an end game loop set within a single game world.
