The Castle Doctrine Forums

Being able to play on the pc (big screen, mouse) and on the phone (check any time) with the same account is a great advantage you would give up if you chose to have two accounts. If there is no way to stop it, it's your choice.

Cullman, what happens if you are logged in on one device and you also log in on another?

I liked quite a lot of the FT features, you should read the FT-tread and if possible contact iceman.

Even better: 1k.

Oh yeah, I always wanted to be a Bishop.

People still die in it in the funnyest ways and it generates enough money to change what I want to change...

I really appreciate that, but I had to stop you für now ;-)

I think the 2 hours count only if the house is on the list, so if he was at home in the meantime or someone else had a long visit, it might take a while longer.

Nice to see you come every 2 hours to my place too. It's the one where the trapdoors aren't always powered the way you'd expect. I went from nothing to about 11k just because of you bringing some expensive tools and dying ;-) but you're already close. You're the only one who knows about the 'key'. I don't know my name yet, i hope you know which house i mean.

Awesome stuff!

Let's see that tape.

I like all your suggestions except removing the view shifting. That's a very cool feature for unintuitive puzzles, even if it might be an artefact.  I suggest keeping it but making it irrelevant in beginner's realms by setting the house sizes and the view shifting borders so that you always see the same tiles.

More suggestions:

- Make chill times proportional to player numbers. I think in a realm with about 20 players 24 hours are way too much. And of course make chills times lower for easy realms, but I'm sure you have already thought of that.

- Let there be a realm with no money at all, free building (maybe with some restrictions to house elements) and no tools, but very low chill time.

Just a thought: I think what makes Jason's original game so unforgiving (and what might be his artistic theme) is that you build your own house and every house in the game belongs to someone real. If you want to make an interesting game appealing to a large player base, you could get rid of that. It could be a puzzle game with user-generated levels, but the houses you create don't have to be associated with your life as a robber. I know it takes away much of the intensity of the experience, but this could be the solution for at least some of the realms.

The houses you build could exist forever, with each robber getting a new chance with the original design and damage saving only for that particular robber until he finally solves it. If every house has only a small amount of cash (maybe based on it's difficulty), you could still use that money to chain-rob more houses with tools, but it's not the owner's money and available only for robbing. I think this would make dual-account abuse mostly irrelevant.

You should definitely start with a trapdoor instead of an electric floor.

That's right and it's not even that hard. Maybe someone figures it out.
