: Eh, I don't find time limits a very fun mechanic in a game. There's already a
: bonus added to your ending score based on how much time you have left, so
: I think that would provide enough incentive to be efficient with your
: time. If people would rather spend extra time going through levels they've
: already explored to build up a huge body count, I don't want to stop them.
: I have thought maybe it'd be worth adding extra bonuses to your score based
: on difficulty, but ultimately decided against it as I don't know what a
: fair bonus would be, and I'm not all that motivated to add stuff that the
: original game didn't have. Maybe if people play this and have suggestions
: (haha, yeah right), I'll have more motivation to do some extra stuff.
Perhaps the money earned from treasures could go to a post game reward? Each treasure item and crystal kept is given a complete list of flavour text like in System Shock 2 or Prey, as the results of the research done on them, explaining what they are, what they could have been used for, and revealing in-game uses added to the Aleph One version, as well as treasure that did have a use in the original Flashlight engine game.
E.g. the silver bowl can be used to make cream of mushroom soup out of the purple mushrooms on the floor, granting more limited versions of the red and/or violet potion effects. Jewels can be put in the Cedar box along with crystal dust (a new item made when a crystal shatters) and instead of duplicating those items, they rebuild a crystal, which one depends on the gems used.
The money value from any and all treasure items can be used post game to build a trophy or something. Your score can be used to cheapen the costs. Trophies created from post game treasure should grant benefits in a New Game+ mode, like positive versions of Halo's skull system.
Any other ideas on what the money earned in treasure could be used for are welcome as I can't think of very much off the top of my head.. Someone suggested in an earlier PID ToD chapter that it could go towards building your own pyramid, presumably as a monument. Other suggestions are also welcome.
