sanity's Issues

story import format

community useable story format

• should support "madlibs" style placeholders
• should have "parallel" lore (so multiple lore can be placed on each level)
• should allow formatting (maybe markdown?)

maybes:

• associate particular lore with particular tilesets?
• lore only available when crossovered with other storysets?

choose a fonts

need like a good few fonts

• one old timey font for like old books and letters
• one horror font for like demon scrolls and witchcraft necronomica
• one sciencey font for like lab reports
• one computer terminaly font for old 80s computers (have a source for this)
• one lab report type of font

others?

ttf is good format for amethyst

sketch out room generation algorithm

so we want to generate dungeons of increasing sizes as we descend

each floor has some number of exits (depending on possible story hooks available/unlocked/by chance) and enemies should be weighted towards those on lower floor through that exit. e.g. more alien creatures en route to scifi exit.

so we need to create a tree with leaf nodes that are exits/lore/save with roughly the same distance from the root (which would be entrance). I think we don't need to have multiple entrances in to a generated floor, one should be fine. player will be unaware what they are on path towards other than changing monster composition.

nodes should carry weight associated with difficulty/size and then we can balance the branches depending on leaf. so save/lore rooms should likely have lower total weight than exit rooms. this should give a reasonable map.

so each Room node on the Level tree should have a weight calculated by difficulty and size. we can generate a bunch of freestanding Room instances and then do some sort of packing algorithm (but don't always want the biggest one at the start, so we can pack in largest first but then shuffle the order of the branch).

question: should relevant lore only be on path to that exit? (e.g. no horror lore on path to scifi exit?)

also earlier levels will have fewer total rooms.

spatial overlap is not important (doorways don't have to make spatial sense, rooms can overlap logically) -- maybe a powerup will make all rooms euclidean...

Hidden areas

Secrets are good, having false walls or hidden doors is scary

tilemap editor

a user friendly way to describe tiles in a tileset could allow anyone to share their tiles

• need to name each tile (could use default names)
• need a way to specify possible tiles that could connect
• need to specify max size of connected tiles (for multitile sprites like statues or buildings or whatever)

Reduce rear visibility

Horror games usually have limited rear visibility

Vampires and stuff sneak up from behind

Maybe pick up item such as rear view glasses or mirror to see behind

Floors are missing

With tileset I found you can have 1x1 tiles or thin edge tiles or 2x2 tiles.

There are also floor decorations that could be under other decor.

Likely only want to spawn floor tiles on walkable area.
