What classes are in the most hurry?

Basically, the priority is highest on the ones higher on the list, I think.
Well, not really, but the categories that are higher on the list, at least.

Like the "unfinished" ones only need a little bit more work, so they're probably top priority. The "planned" ones have little or no work done, so they're not really important.

Actually, I'm going to go back and organize them by priority; that might be a good idea.

Also, I'm going to post suggested unlocking requirements for anything above "in progress."

EDIT: I posted the unlocking requirements. Coming up with them got me really excited! Unlocking new classes should be a lot of fun!
It will require some changes to the game's source though. For instance, the "complete within a certain time" won't be possible without the addition of scripting that accesses the system time (which Zefz said shouldn't be too hard to add).
Oh, and also, I think Zombor should be very hard to unlock. The tombstone should take about a hundred hits to break open or whatever, so that it seems like you're not actually doing anything to it. It should be super-secret!

With the new Quest System the unlocking of secret modules after meeting specific requirements is even more easy Razz

Yeah. It's just that some of those requirements are complicated, like the need to beat something within a certain amount of time.

Speaking of which, I'm going to go do some "research." I'll start a new character sometime and beat the Sand Palace with it, and see how long it takes me. More people can do it, too, and we can get a good idea of what a reasonable limit for the unlocking of the Archaeologist is.

Unless people think he should be unlocked another way. But I think it's a cool idea.

Sure, why not, time limits sure make things more interesting! Smile

I usually don't spend much more than 10 minutes in the sand palace... And I'm playing slooowly... I'm pretty certain that with a few golden keys from the shadow palace or a book of unlock, as well as some nice, strong weapon, you can beat the whole thing in less than two minutes. I've done it a few times already. You can just hardly pick anything up then, but if you get a new class as a reward, it's more than okay in my opinion.

Yeah, it should be something short. I'm going to try speedrunning it now. I haven't played Egoboo in a while, hmm...

EDIT: OK, I'm back. I was using a "fresh" character (Cobol), and I died too much. I was having to deal with friction/particle bugs, though; I should get the latest stable version.
At any rate, I'm thinking about eight (or maybe six) minutes is reasonable. So the first time through, you wouldn't be able to make it, but if you came back later you could.

"Complete" is a term used when it is fully finished to be put in the game (Starter, equipment, etc. just see Squerkle's list). Else it is put in the DEV package (as it is now).

Speaking of completion, are you going to set up the new website? Razz
