Oh, yea these things are all mostly easy to do, if time consuming. Already diked out the skittle treasures from the tng scripts, I'll have to figure out how to reimplement some stuff like the sword in the stone, it looks to be possible to transplant it into another map. Moving those cameras around is going to be a pain in the ass though. And boasting is done in the script def, which mean testing requires a new profile each cycle, lovely.

The idea is to take advantage of the systems already in place to lengthen a linear game. Two ways to make a game longer, add content and slow progression. Since we can't add quests, the goal is to slow progression but keep it at a playable, enjoyable pace with a steady difficulty curve, as opposed to somewhere between free ride and suffocating on all the treasure you have. The game can also be lengthened by adding various distractions, I have ideas for some of that but that's outside the scope of this discussion.

I just need help finding out where to put that difficulty curve and what pace the progression should be. I don't want the game to be a grind, but I also don't want it to be without challenge. Still, either would be better than where it's at now.

It just boggles my mind, how they can create a game with all these great systems in place, and then not use them. Or not use them enough, or jack the variables such that they can be abused so terribly (shop exploit), or create unbalanced scenarios where the player is effectively invincible and immortal and unstoppable. Makes no sense whatsoever.

How to make a good Fable game.
And how to make it even better.
