Poll of the Day > I need a good idea or goal for a game I'm working on

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hello!

I'm working on my 2nd roguelike game and am getting the mechanics hashed out (so far, so good). The thing is, I don't really have anything special in mind to make it really stand out from any given traditional roguelike. The first game had a magic lantern which changed color phases and that influenced the core rules. Since I want to improve everything I can with this 2nd one, I want to think of something different to use for it.

One idea I had was to have the player choose from one of several dungeons right off the bat, and once it was complete they'd get some sort of reward and then go back and choose another of the remaining dungeons. I figure each dungeon could have some sort of gimmick or theme to it, so say one might be really cold with icy walls and that might make it so your stamina is slow to regenerate or the occasional blizzard whips by.

I figure since you guys come up with all kinds of weird shit in general this would be a good place for ideas!

EDIT: Here are a couple recent screenshots. Working on the Plagued status, which is why he's all green. Mind you my last one took 10 years to finalize so it'll look better in the end I'm sure:
