OK, time to figure out some gameplay.

-=-=-



Blocks and dirt and a cow with a pickaxe.

A couple of days ago, Michael Fernie sent us a nice big gameplay idea in the comments, and within he suggested that....
Blocks have levels. Your pick axe can only mine blocks at its level.

Nice idea. Though I expect "and below" might be a slightly better way to work with that.

As you can see in the screenshot above, each block has a number on it, and our Moocow would only be able to chip away blocks with his Axe's power or less..

.. But then what?
You power up the axe, then obliterate everything, then... ... ?

What if, instead, your Axe's power drained. What if you start with a power bar, and the 1 blocks use up 1 bit of energy, and the 9 blocks use 9 bits of energy.
That way, you're constantly needing to battle energy vs blocks.
Would that be better?

And where do you get more energy?
How about defeating a baddie = drops of energy. Then you can murder, gather, power, smash, grab!
..
Does that sound like a game, so far?



There are enemies you can fight with your weapon.

I don't think we need a secondary weapon, do we? Would the pickaxe not suffice?
If we presume enemies are "Level 0", so don't use up "energy" to hit like the blocks do, then that way we can always have ways to expand energy levels, should we run out.

However...
Your weapon can be upgraded using resources.
This allows you to fight harder enemies.


If there are harder enemies, maybe they DO require energy, like the blocks do. Then we'd have to have some Zero-Baddies alongside some other types of baddies, which do use up energy levels.
Hmmm.

I'll keep on working on this concept, and I guess we'll see what's at the other side, in a few days time.

Pop your thoughts in the Comments or the Discord
