| Summary | 0004015: Make lighting cheaper and/or more relevant | ||||
| Description | The dark caves feel more 'inconvenient' than anything - just killed my first boss(es) - a double boss (2 bats) in a dim cave (no lighting sources) and didn't really feel the need for light. It seems like the darkness should be darker (enough to actually obscure vision) and/or the light balls should be cheaper (that's a hefty mana cost for something that really just clears up a slight inconvenience). Maybe something like a certain radius around the character is the current inconvenient dim, and the rest is pitch black? | ||||

You can make "Emit Light" scrolls, which don't cost any mana to use, and light the entire area around you for a fixed distance. Would that work for you? |

Yeah, that's a nice limit-remover. Still the darkness seems like an "oh dear, it's dim in here" rather than a "what's going on, I'm scared". Dark caves ought be scary! |

I've tried it the darker way, and it just didn't feel right. Running out of light scrolls shouldn't mean instant death. That said, later on there will be monsters and other things that only work in the dark, for instance. |
