Hey Rat Punchers, happy new year once again!
After a bit of a holiday break, I’m back to work on Shattered Pixel Dungeon, which includes laying out some plans for the coming year! This post starts with a year in review, and then lists the major changes and additions that I have planned for Shattered Pixel Dungeon in 2025 and beyond.
It’s hard for me to really address this specifically when the quest is an idea in my head and not precisely designed currently, All I can really say is that I am going to try to plan for the player to have proper means of skill expression, I agree that just forcing the player into basic equipment and then turning the quest into stats vs. stats would be boring and overly punishing for chal players. That doesn’t have to be how it’s designed though.
I agree. It can’t end just being a stats vs stats, as that will turn to be basically a dice roll on whether you die or you get some loot
