Stretch Goal

[cosmic tree]

Add voting for the stretch goal with community ideas.

Soundtrack is not something that is needed in the game, imo. I even turn it off in 99% of the games I play. I say we give the community the ability to vote for something they want to see in the game, and in return, it will motivate us to give more money on the Kickstarter. I say keep the soundtrack as an option on the vote and add like two more. My idea would be a leaderboard of some sort, where we can see the best and most invested players, or add player profiles with some stats like dungeons completed, enemies killed, or something like that. Feel free to give an idea we could add to the voting.

Leaderboard and stats etc such things is not that beneficial/important compare to having new soundtrack/music for the game that can enhance overall gameplay/player experience.

Since its 2012 game it needs to meet the standard of 2025 having new soundtrack/music is a must. Many pve games like genshin/wuwa have hundreds of soundtrack/music and i see nothing wrong for DR implement it.

Anyway why I think having leaderboard and stats etc isnt that important/beneficial for the game? It just promote people to be more competitive and flexing, tbh its unhealthy behavior for PVE game but for PVP game its understandable to implement such thing.

Either way not gonna say its a bad idea for having leaderboard/stats, they could do that but its easier said than done, we dont know the working condition behind the development of DR.

Feel free to disagree but be respectful.

You can also google why soundtrack/music is important for the development of the game.

Soundtrack or music isn’t really a core feature though more of a nice touch. I’m pretty sure most people would prefer actual new content, like a new character proposed, a graphical remaster, or better optimization

A graphical remaster probably should be top priority over some music

[sick hearth]

Graphics remaster is an ongoing process, not a one-time goal that need to be added in stretch goal.

[south wigeon]

Who says a stretch goal has to be a 'one-time' thing? A stretch goal can be pretty much anything. That said, most of them are one-time tasks,you only have to do them once, like adding a new character or remastering graphics. It’s not like implementing anti-cheat, which requires ongoing effort and constant updates

[sick hearth]

Sure it can be anything idk. The devs already said multiple times, improving the visual of the game is part of the ongoing development and they basically doing it. Its not something have to put in goal for everyone.

Personally what I expect for goals is something new that never had in 2012 DR example new musics/soundtrack or other QoL stuff and maybe new character like you said but ofc need to consider the workload the devs is having. We can give ideas but cannot force them to it. Thats all I have to say.

[south wigeon]

As far as I know they never stated or said anything about actually improving the visual nor the optimisation, apart from “depends on the kickstarter”

And the fact that it isn’t even a part of the scretch goals which honestly would be one of the most motivating goal to reach, is concerning to me

[south wigeon]

Well no one is forcing anyone though so no reason to bring that up anyways, the thread is literally called “ideas”

Besides that OP also have said that “ scretch goals with community voting”

(But It’s too late for that anyways)

[sick hearth]

they basically dont want promise anything and disappoint you later on. Its understandable but they already knew that the game need visual improvement, this is nothing to argue about.

[south wigeon]

I know where ur coming from but we still can’t ignore these concerns

[sick hearth]

I did see some peeps asking the devs to check the ideas. So yeah just so you know now some people like that exist.

[south wigeon]

Still i wouldn’t classify that as forcing them, its the devs own choice to check and implement any of the ideas

[sick hearth]

yeah i know and i believe the game will be playable in 4k (could say little bit copium) 🤣🤣

[south wigeon]

Depending on the approach that isn’t actually a lot of work as it may sound like

Most of the game assets are very easy to remake from scratch

Except the characters

[sick hearth]

yeah i know and even devs said so

[south wigeon]

Yeah as I said thats fine but it doesn’t cancel out the clear issues we have with the game

[sick hearth]

im not working in game development so i cant say anything about that, sorry

[south wigeon]

Anyways getting off topic i guess , only time will tell

We shall see what happens

I could wait since 2022 so whats 1more year

[sick hearth]

yep and i enjoyed chatting with u tbh

have a great day

[south wigeon]

I actually remade some of the assets if u want to see them #〔🔱〕fan-art

[south wigeon]

You too!

A little touch of competitiveness is not bad, it gives you motivation to grind even more and to one up your friends.

if the ultimate rampage is infinite, (i remember it as infinite if im wrong then thats on me) you can add a scoreboard for most floors reached for example.

[sick hearth]

yeah agree, nothing wrong on that tbh, personally I seek challenges rather than competing

[cosmic tree]

i have 5k+ hours in csgo so yeah i love the competitive aspect in games xd.

[sick hearth]

iirc something like that already had in original game

[cosmic tree]

i dont remember half of it cuz i was like 10

still player profiles is mandatory i think, and customizable avatars and stuff.

[sick hearth]

we can check friend score

[cosmic tree]

okay thats nice then
