You know as far as story line goes we're really only left with concept right now, I really think so much depth could be added to the story of this game play, which if done right would only add to the game play and maybe help fill in the gaps of bosses and other things.
I would like to eventually see us get off the planet! That would be proper!!
So I guess this is a question, Is there going to be more depth put into the actual story of the spiral knights lost in space?
You know I always thought it would be cool to have lower arcades that weren't so guarded or safe, places where the line between free roam and fight blur some. Which would make it easier to implement pvp at more of an instant reflex and bring a whole new element to the game. your first example made me think of this.
your 2nd is a nice thought also.
Actually the concept's been tried before several times, but the most successful I feel was the AFS (of which the player is a part) versus the Bane in Tabula Rasa. For those unfamiliar with the game, there were very few concrete safe outposts. Most of the outposts in an area could be overrun by one side or the other, and the players would have to defend against or recapture from the Bane. I'll be writing this up in a suggestion soon once I've got it properly in mind, but basically the idea is the same.
I like this...more NPC interaction, more "overworld" mechanic (free roam with monsters). Stuff like this can really spice up a game!
Actually I'd like to see it move in two ways:
