[WIPz] Treasure Hunting

Post » Fri May 22, 2015 4:29 am

Hello,

I am currently working on my first new mod in many years. I haven't worked out all the details myself yet, but the premise is that the player will be able hunt buried treasure all over Vvardenfell. The locations of the treasure chests will be randomly generated, which achieves 2 main objectives:

  1. Treasure hunting could lead you anywhere on Vvardenfell. Finally you will have an incentive to explore all the obscure corners of the world that you may have never visited before.
  2. Treasure hunting will be ongoing; you will never run out of buried treasure chests to find.

I've already scripted the basics and so far it works like a charm :)

Here's how it works:

  • The player obtains a "Lucky Pickaxe", possibly through a Treasure Hunters' Guild.
  • Equipping the pickaxe will pop up a hint about the location of the next treasure every time you draw your weapon. This will point you in a compass direction until you get close to the treasure, at which point the pickaxe stops telling you a direction and just gives you hints about how close you are.

If anyone has played Final Fantasy IX, this may sound a lot like a certain minigame...

That's all for now!
