Thank you for the message! And yea, the score display is a part that is confusing, and needs to be fixed post-compo.
The rule is that only the BEST score of each creature counts towards the total score. So in the screenshot above, you have three drakes (each worth 180 points = 540), but only one of them counts for the final score.
Instead of showing the total for the photo, I should have showed the total for each creature (and gray out the ones who don’t count). That’s for the next version.
… That said, taking a picture with many on the same monster in the frame should probably give an extra bonus. The scoring rules are something that need to go through some playtesting and balancing.
this was fun! i particularly enjoyed using the binoculars to look around. it was a challenge trying to lead the creatures closer to get a photo of them together. (found out that drakes can eat other monsters...)
an obelisk spawned on the door to the next level so i burned to a crisp though haha. i panicked & forgot about the rain...
Oh no! The obelisk spawning on the door is almost always a soft lock at the moment m(.)m, becaues you can’t really move it away. A drake or cube could possibly kill it…

Thank you! I’ll check the pathfinding code!
Photo score 540
Total score... 290
How?

Oh, that's a shame. I thought it takes the best from multiple photos of the same creatures, not the same species
My suggestion is to make same species count (multiple hunting drakes are fun challenge) however there will be only one best photo per floor
For peaceful dungeon game there was even more lethal dangers then in regular one. So that's what peasant feel like... Got some nice shots here
Oh, the cube is in the middle of the fire! Neat! I wonder if it crushed everything on its path
There was nothing on its path so it rolled parallel to me out of the flames.
Though the most comedic situation is when there are 2 cubes on the map and one smashes the other
Yeah, there should be a funny message when that happens!
