Ghost hound color #65

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Hey :) Just a quick thought. The new ghost hound is not red, but it drops carbuncles. Should we change drops or color maybe? I could imagine seeing it drop diamonds or sapphires. The color itself is nice and more "ghostly" than the original.

We could even introduce a new gem!

AntumDeluge commented 7 years ago

I forgot that they drop carbuncles. I made a red version just in case. We should probably just switch to that one.

AntumDeluge commented 7 years ago

Or, we could use the red image to create hell hounds that drop carbuncle. And put them down in hell.

I love the idea of a second hound! But please don't restrict it to hell. 😄

Maybe killing the ghost hound could somehow "unlock" the hell hound like fighting a Lich? Ah well, that might be too complicated to implement and might even require map changes. :/

AntumDeluge commented 7 years ago

Actually, I think that's a good idea. I was already thinking of putting the hell hound in an area that can only be reached if a condition is met. Like you say, killing the ghost hound could be that condition.

If it weren't only in hell, what other maps would it be on?

ghost commented 7 years ago

It could be hiding in an old mine house that currently has no door, and to get in, you'd need a key the ghost hound drops. This house could then also be a secret meeting point for all those who have already killed a ghost hound. ^^

The top of 0_semos_mountain_n2_e has a large completely unused house ruin that could be locked or contain a trapdoor downstairs

AntumDeluge commented 7 years ago

That actually might be the house that I am using for a quest that is in the works. If it is, it already has a map for the interior. I'll have to check it out.

AntumDeluge commented 7 years ago

Nope, it's not the same house. The one I am thinking of is a little shack in 0_semos_mountain_n2_w. So the one you are talking about could be used I think.

😃

(The little shack looks awesome for a new interior map!)

AntumDeluge commented 6 years ago

I don't think the new hell hound creature will make it into the next release. Should I change ghost hound back to red for now... until the red hell hound is implemented?

(late comment: both are fine, I'd say!)
