Put whiskey in the game. Add a tool tip that says whiskey makes you more stealthy.

Whiskey makes you stumble into stuff. Keep it subtle.

Each use of whiskey adds 0.05 seconds of input lag, but only on random inputs so the player isn't quite sure if the controls are janky or they just keep messing up.

if whatever you do has a story in it, I like stories where the protagonist is kind of an asshole--not "snarky" or w/e, not charmingly roguish, just shitty to people and weaselly and unpleasant. Then over the course of the story they learn the hard way about not being shitty to people. (They can grow to be charmingly roguish then, I guess.)

if you need a setting: ~~Space castle.~~ Giant space castle.

If you drink all the whiskey in a level you die. No explanation. You just die.

But on a delay and with no visual indicator. This game is gonna be awesome!

So how did this go anyway, RPG? Did you include whiskey and books?

Oh, I totally forgot this thread.

So, I made an experimental little micro-game based around a concept that I had kicking around in my head, which didn't really pan out in an exciting way. Halfway through, I began transforming the game into a different concept, which I also had to shift away from for similar reasons (Just wasn't fun enough). At the end, I'd finally started settling onto something pretty cool, but there was no real game to it, just a little proof of concept of the general feel I was going for.

So The Rock's Giant Space Castle never happened is what you're saying?

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
