Elysium — Content Ideas
A running list of planned features and content additions. Strike through items as they're completed!
🌟 New Systems
-
Offline earnings — When returning to the game, earn a percentage of what you'd have earned offline (cap at ~8–12 hours). Upgradeable via the prestige shop to increase the % and the time cap. Essential for an idle game!
-
Second prestige layer (Transcendence) — Unlocked after ~10 prestiges. Sacrifice all runestones for a new currency ("Echoes"?). Echoes are permanent account-wide currency that persist across prestiges. Has its own upgrade tree with truly game-changing bonuses. Gives endgame players a long-term goal.
-
Daily challenges — Three rotating objectives each day (e.g. kill X boss, earn X gold this run, complete X quests). Reward bonus crystals. Encourages daily logins even when idling comfortably.
-
Boss first-kill bounties — Defeating a boss for the very first time grants a one-time runestone bonus. Rewards exploration and makes conquering a new zone feel extra satisfying.
-
Auto-prestige toggle — Unlockable via the prestige shop. Automatically prestiges the moment the threshold is reached. Late-game convenience that dedicated players will love.
📦 Content Additions
-
Equipment set bonuses — Group existing equipment into named sets (e.g. "Shadow Infiltrator"). Wearing 2/3/4 pieces of a set grants escalating bonuses. Adds strategic depth without requiring lots of new items.
-
The Codex / Lore Book — Defeating bosses and completing quests unlocks lore entries about the world. Pure flavour, but gives the world depth and a collection mechanic. Show a ✨ notification when new lore unlocks.
-
Milestone prestige bonuses — Every 5th prestige, earn a free prestige upgrade or a large runestone windfall. Gives players mini-goals within the prestige loop.
📊 UI / Statistics
-
Statistics panel — All-time totals: gold earned across all runs, total prestiges, bosses defeated, quests completed, time played. Idle game players love seeing big numbers about their big numbers.
-
Last cloud save date + Force cloud save button — Display when the last cloud save occurred (always visible, e.g. in the ResourceBar). Include a manual "Force Save" button for peace of mind.
