Title: How often to use a minigame?
Post by: Jubal on November 12, 2016, 05:17:21 PM

So, some of you may've seen the asteroids trailer (http://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4880) I posted. I've currently got the minigame triggering any time a player goes between worlds, on a 20% chance. Do people think this is about right, or should it be more/less common? Only having it on certain missions may well be an option, and would "relax" the gameplay experience a bit for players who don't want to be on the edge of their seat whilst making the hyperspace jumps. I sort of like the idea of having it forecasted, but making a player stay longer on a particular world to avoid the asteroid fields might get annoying. Thoughts appreciated!
