Hidden Object Minigame!

Hidden Object Minigame!
Posted 2021-09-29 11:33:47 #532898 Hi devs! While trying to figure out how to organize my scouts to discover more areas, I had the idea for an interesting minigame. You know those hidden object games? Kind of like an I Spy book, or Where's Waldo? You have to find items in a big, crowded picture, and it can be really tricky! Sometimes, they are timed or they penalize you for clicking on false items. We could have one of those here on the site! It could also be a fun way to reward bonus discovery percentage for scouting, since looking for the hidden objects is similar to how a scout would look for new places. It would make scouting the more difficult biomes such as the glacier and the rainforest less boring! Each biome would have themed art (i.e. snowy landscapes for the glacier, foresty scene for the deciduous forest) and themed hidden items within the picture. Of course, the amount of times you could get discovery percentage would be extremely limited. Maybe once per day, performed by your lead? That way you couldn't just discover an entire biome by playing the game over and over. It would also prevent the game from getting repetitive, too! The pictures would have to randomize the locations of hidden items to prevent it becoming boring/repetitive. I had this idea because I realized scouting can be a bit boring in the game, and I feel my idea will fix this boredom because hidden object games are fun and challenging! Of course, the relation to scouting doesn't have to be added at all. I would be just as excited for a I Spy minigame on it's own that rewarded SC, or maybe even rewarding some of the items that you found in the picture! It would be a very unique and special addition to the minigame section. In order for my idea to get added to the game, I think the following will be required from the devs: artwork, coding, debugging, and testing. Thank you for reading all of that! I hope other people like my suggestion. Special thank you to any devs who consider this! I love this game with all my heart, and part of my love comes from the gorgeous artwork. I have no doubt that wolvden could create the prettiest hidden object game EVER!	wolfwyrm #18541

Hi devs!

While trying to figure out how to organize my scouts to discover more areas, I had the idea for an interesting minigame.

You know those hidden object games? Kind of like an I Spy book, or Where's Waldo? You have to find items in a big, crowded picture, and it can be really tricky! Sometimes, they are timed or they penalize you for clicking on false items. We could have one of those here on the site!

It would make scouting the more difficult biomes such as the glacier and the rainforest less boring! Each biome would have themed art (i.e. snowy landscapes for the glacier, foresty scene for the deciduous forest) and themed hidden items within the picture.

Although idk about balance with I Spy as a bonus to scouting, it would make a fun minigame! Maybe you could win items, sort of like in fishing or slots with I Spy? Something unique to it.

Exactly, hidden object games are just fun. They could have different levels of difficulty, too.

Unlimited: Find 15 items with no time limit. 1-3 SC reward.
Easy: Find 5 items within 1 minute. 1-3 SC reward.
Medium: Find 10 items within 1 minute. 5-6 SC reward.
Hard: Find 15 items within 1 minute. 9-10 SC reward. Item reward (i.e. bone) if done in less than 30 seconds.

Even if they give SC/item rewards and no scouting proficiency/discovery percentage, it would be cool if they were biome-themed.

So much support, even if it ends up being a minigame only! I love love love these type of games, and would be so happy to find something of the like here on Wolvden. There is so much potential to use this gorgeous WD art. It would be nice if we could play this game while the scouts are out doing their work and get a little explore bonus after that (maybe an extra amusement item when the scout returns? Or higher biome discovery percentages?). But even without bonuses, I'd absolutely love having this game on WD :D
