The current system results in some funny behaviours: | The current system results in some funny behaviours: | ||
• Level 1 monsters give no experience points. | |||
• It takes a monster defeating between five and three monsters of the same level to increase in level – with low level monsters needing to defeat more monsters to level up. In most games it’s quicker to level up at lower levels and it gets progressively slower. | |||
• I suspect that this is quite quick levelling up compared to other games, and compared to the story that we have planned. | |||
• All monsters of the same level give the same experience points (not necessarily a bad thing, but it is unusual). | |||
• Monsters can have more experience points than their level would suggest; they potentially “should” be many levels higher. | |||
• A monster could make a contribution in battle without damaging the opponent, e.g. using a technique that makes them confused or enraged. Currently, they wouldn't receive experience points for participating in that battle. | |||
We should consider: | We should consider: | ||
• Do we want monsters that only used non-damaging techniques to share in the experience points of the defeated monster? | |||
• How many equally-matched battles do we want a monster to be involved in before it gains one level? | |||
• Do we want lower-level monsters to gain a level after more or fewer equally-matched battles than higher-level monsters? | |||
• How much more experience points should higher-level monsters give than lower-level ones? Is defeating a level 10 monster worth twice as much as defeating a level 5 monster? Or four times as much? Or more? | |||
