Motivations

• Too many choices can be overwhelming
• Complex choices creates complex UI
  • less time for content
  • bugs

Minimum system

• There are always two to three choices
• choices have probability to them
• some areas have fixed choices
  • Example: boss area
  • Example: free weapon on first area (gift of the Gods)
• Previous choices do not influence current choices
• generated options are not persistent
• at least for GRI, your monster card prototype might be better off with persistent choices

GRI Ideas

• changing areas always result in fighting 2 to 3 enemies instead of a normal choice.
  • loading saves too
• area clear rewards might be better off being deterministic (use random with seed)
