What's the "random events"?
In the game description we have mentioned this feature, but have never specified what it is exactly. Time to change that. So, here goes...
We hold the belief that everyone is familiar with the games where the plot development depends on the player's choices. In our game, however, we want to try a different approach. D'LIRIUM is not an RPG, it's a shooter. Thus, the plot in it is rather linear, and that's the way it's going to be, the player's choices won't affect it drastically. However, what will give the player the unique experience is the random events.
The random events have been present in the games before, but didn't seriously affect the plot. In D'LIRIUM, however, the plot itself is going to be partially based on them. There will be the key scenes, but almost everything that's going to happen between them will be random.
Here is an example: the character appears on the level and must go from point A to point B. While at it, they might meet a crowd of monsters, or might find themselves in an auxiliary plot branch with the puzzles to solve, or might even have to deal with a meteorite falling down on them. A good example of a random event is the level with the Lanterns. Perhaps, those events will even have consequences for the entire futher playthrough, which will make it unique.
We don't really know if the random events will really be the way they are described above, because PLANNING them through is really hard. Maybe they won't appear in the game at all, but we just don't want to leave that concept alone.
There will be no random events in Beta-1. We'll tell you about what to expect from Beta-1 later. Meanwhile, we would really like to hear your opinion on this topic, so, leave your comments and offer us your ideas below!
Also, we would really like to thank our Patrons! Thanks to all of you for your support, your donations won't be for nothing!
