Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?
Sunsofold@lemmings.world 4 weeks agoIf that’s the style of game you are looking for, I could see a structure of 'do code golf puzzles to:
- program robots to help the knight directly’
- ‘trick’ henchmen or magical castle elements (abstracted coding) into doing things that help the Knight’
- write the guard’s ‘daily action plan’ so they patrol in a way that doesn’t get the knight caught’
- complete abstract ‘magical haxors’ that open the dragon’s firewalls’
- social engineer the dragon between runs to let you have more supplies’
- give simple instructions to collections of small woodland creatures to do simple things that add up to a real goal (in the vein of Opus Magnum)’
