The Action-Packed Dungeon Adventure
Player polls
I know it's a tad early in the developmental process to start worrying about the feelings of my playerbase, but I feel that it's a good idea to get player input for two reasons:
1. Keeping players heavily involved in the design process can help create a sense of community and make players really feel like they matter something, creating a bond of mutual friendship and respect that helps a game gradually grow into something truly amazing.
2. Some game design issues really have me stumped and I figured this would be a good way to swipe ideas while making it look like I'm just being open-minded.
Did I say two reasons? I meant one. In fact I think I clearly said there's ONE reason I decided to put up polls. You may be seeing two reasons in the list above, but in fact, there is only one. Reason number two is apparently a glitch with your browser, but it's probably your fault and not the browser's.
Poll 5/21/01: Player Classes (CLOSED 6/24/01)
Well, thanks to the (very few) people who voted. Here's the finalized class lineup:
Knight- Very high armor, good melee, very slow
Elf- Pretty fast, good missile attack, weak in melee
Thief- Very fast, varying shades of mediocre in all other stats
Monk-Strong all-around character except for very weak missile attack
Barbarian-Very strong melee attack, good missile attack, very low magic
Wizard-Awesome magic, good missile attack, very weak physically
Ninja-Fast, great attacks, very very low armor.
Soldier-Good balanced class but next to no magic
Ranger-Balanced in pretty much all respects
Templar-Good magic power but very slow
Not sure when there'll be a new poll up. Probably depends on if anyone ever actually visits this site.
