I been thinking of making playerdorf more fun to play as and use. But not to the point of: "You want one every round"
As it stands now... it's funny to see it once, but then.. if no one interacts with you.. or buy souls.. you can't do anything.
The biggest determinant is litterly: "You gotta get more souls by having people become the next zoldorf" and "previous zoldorfs become lil dots"
Even Kudzu people get to have more fun and freedom with their mechanics (basically natures botany)
There is an inhertant gameplay loop with a lot of mechanics and ways to interact. Zoldorf has non.
While this soul mechanic changes is a good start... I think playerdorf needs to "do more"
Cause senances and such are just "lame" mechanic wise. Also you cannot announce it.
Since we are changing Zoldorf anyway abit.. here's some ideas I been brainstorming:
- No more selling your soul to zoldorf via contract will kill you and make you become zoldorf, insted dead players can become zoldorf via a special respawn.
- The contract only appears if there is a player zoldorf inside. Hacking for the "strange burrito" insted gives a random spell scroll insted wich will cost your soul regardles.
- New mechanic: "Future Fortune." Basically the "selling your soul for money mechanic" from the traitor chaplain, but weaker as it only takes 10% of your soul.
- New mechanic: "Soul contract." Allows a player to fully dedicate to the zoldorf and sell their soul completely for the abillity to turn into a "Zoldorf sprite" to help the zoldorf player. Can be activated whenever or activates automatically upon death. Will put you on DNR automatically. When activated when alive.. your charater becomes a "monkey npc" in behaviour.
That's what i had so far.
