| Summary | 0007881: Alleviate Exploration Tedium w/ Minimap Change | ||||
| Description | Instead of defaulting to giving us the entire room layout, we instead get to see the locations of all the items and doors. Then as we explore, instead of lifting the fog of war, the map reveals the shape of the room. This would help prevent players from feeling compelled to explore entire rooms, they'll know when everything has been found. Also, this will still keep caverns and mazes interesting to explore. We also still get a sense of how big rooms are because of the scaling of the indicators for items/doors. | ||||

On the one hand this sounds interesting. On the other, that would preclude the ability to have hidden items (aside from those hidden in chests, I suppose). I think it would also visually look worse on the minimap, to be honest. |

I'd much rather have the room layout, to be honest, than item locations. If you want to avoid looking for non-existant items, it would be easier to add an item clear notification once you get them all (similar to how Planning appears now hen all monsters are clear.) |

We'll see how this does: * Greatly altered how the scouting of a chunk's minimap works. Rather than it revealing stuff based on where you are standing, it's now based on what is on your screen at the time. This makes exploration of caves a lot faster and less tedious, and in general gives a better correlation between the minimap and what is on your screen at the time. |
