Browsing the shops while dead, or not near them

September 26, 2008 12:32:56 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I want to be able to browse (so see the items in the shops, not buy them) the shops while dead, or out in the field. This gives the player an opportunity to get their heads around some of the items while they wait for respawn, or are in a lane.

 

Probably already mentioned, but hey, I just want Beta 1A now, and have nothing better to do.

IMO that's a very good idea. I would also like to take a look at (and probably increase) my abilities when I'm dead. 10-20 seconds respawn time feels like an eternity in Demigod and there is not much you can do. Checking what's going on doesn't take more than a few seconds. Doesn't matter what it will be in the end but I'd like to have something to do during that time.

I agree, having something to do while your dead is nice. Maybe a few rounds of tic-tac-toe with the computer?

 

haha, ok seriously though, I think the above posts have great ideas.

i def think browsing shops while dead is a good idea but not assigning skill points. u cant make urself better while u are not in existance so therefore u have to wait. though again u should be able to look at ur skills so u know exactly what u will do when u respawn.

What's the harm in assigning skill points?  You can't actually use any of the abilities until you respawn.

I think he meant that it wouldn't make sense for someone to learn something while they are dead. Kinda going for the realism there, I suppose.

and half-gods fighting each other inbetween swathes of monsthers and dinosaurs is super-realistic.

it really should be a case of;

gameplay > realism

 

maybe we can play Sudoku while waiting to respawn?

If you can finish a game in the time it takes to respawn, you should be getting paid to do it professionally.

Whatever is fun, convenient, or adds depth should come before being "realistic."
