Ideas / Warning thresholds
« on: May 17, 2017, 03:51:13 AM »
I'm going to talk about the Energy, it's the same for Matter / heat / others.
Currently when you energy reach a threshold you receive a warning. The problem is that when you are recovering energy you get too that warning! Lets say your energy threshold is 100, and your current energy is 120. If you do a shot that cost you 25 energy, your energy drops to 95 and you get a warning. That's ok. However if your energy, after few shots more, is 60 and you rest few turns, once you recover energy and it exceed the threshold you get that warning again!
That's a bit annoying in the middle of a combat, since I think for myself "hey, I think I turned off the energy weapons" or other questions for newbies like me.
What I propose is having two threshholds, the current one and another invisible (i.e. 10% more than the current threshold). So once your energy drops below the visible threshold you get the warning, and you will not get the warning again until your energy exceed the invisible threshold. That would solved the stated problem, and the problem that your energy would be stable in the current threshold and you would get warning every turns.

Ideas / Smooth movements
« on: May 07, 2017, 07:01:37 AM »
Hello,
When you are slow and fat as hell, and you see an enemy robot with, lets say, 250% movement speed, sometimes it dissapears and you don't know where he went. So, I propose a way to see how the Cogmind, or any other robot, slides/moves from tile to tile. Just an idea, like this:

General Discussion / I cannot read the game
« on: May 02, 2017, 02:24:21 PM »
Hi,
I purchase Cogmind on April 1th, however I didn't had the time to play until now. My first impression is this game is made with a lot of love... god, how many effects, sprites...
Coming from Tales of Maj'eyal, I started to move around, picking pieces and attaching them, without understand too much. There is a lot of letters that I should read, but I will do slowly. I've killed few yellow robots that were attacking me. Ok.
Now the title of this post - I cannot 'read' the game
After playing 5-6 times I got a bit frustated because I'm doing everything the same, running around, using the best gear I can and killing robots that shot me, and going through levels. Finally I die. I'm sure there is a lot more than this, but I'm not able to 'read' it. Accidentally I read somewhere you can play stealth builds, but I don't see how to hide from the yellow robots. I purchased this game because the environment were evolving, with you, or without you. That sold me! However I'm not able to read it... how is it evolving? the green or yellow robots are just walking randomly, and you cannot go back to the levels you already escaped.
Maybe this small frustation is because I need to learn a lot - and I do not pretend you spoil me saying: hey this game will became a shoot'em'put in stage 15 and later a point and click adventure when you get the robotic belt, but it would be very welcome if you can tell me how should I "read" the game to enjoy its wonders. I don't want to believe is just going through levels until you die... I want to understand how the world evolves! And how should I learn!
