Something I'd love to see in AVWW
« on: March 31, 2011, 05:20:41 pm »
I don't know if you guys are planning anything like this, but I'd love to see the game keep track of all kinds of stats in the game. Things like: Time played, KM2 explored, enemies killed (broken down by type ideally), number of different crafting mats found, etc. I love statistics like this, and they often keep me playing games longer than if they weren't there. In fact, now that I see Minecraft is going to add stats, it may get me back into playing that again some time.

Please note, I'm not necessarily looking for these to be tied directly into achievements, IOW, I don't think an achievement should be awarded for playing x number of hours and such... just keep track of it. ;-)

For the others on these forums, am I alone in wanting to see this?

For Chris and Arcen staff, is something like this on the list?

It's not something currently on the list, but it's the sort of thing I always enjoy, too.  I've put this sort of thing in most of my past games (oddly, not AI War, but I think literally every other game I've done).  So I expect it will probably show up, as long as we remember when it's beta-time, and have enough free hours to do it. :)

I'm suddenly getting inspiration for a Mantis suggestion...  :D

Would also love this. It shouldn't add anything to the game, but I love to look back at the number enemies killed, times died, pointless fireballs cast (maybe not that) etc. . .
