Sorry if this has already been mentioned but is transport 2 the highest level of transportation or is there something better?

At this point 2 is the best you can get, perhaps later there will be more, or planes. Yes, planes.

Just remember to unequip your shoes before you get on the plane.

Also any liquid you may have with you must be put in small plastic bags. Yes, even your coffee.

and the only enemies you fight will be snakes or Harrison Ford

There should totally be a rare adventure of a gremlin on the wing.

COMRADE!

Definitely need planes. What else am I going to use my pilot skill on? Falling off buildings? o_O

You know what, Superman? You're a real jerk when you're drunk.

But yes, we need a plane to get to the second continent.

WTF? Continent? I doubt that small piece of land you see on the main screen is a CONTINENT. Lets put it, to go to the second CITY. Planes -> Take to cities

I hope that at some point Ryme implements space travel, for high level heroes to travel to space and intercept a meteor on a collision course with Earth, or maybe to throw a nuclear missile into the sun... hmm...

Is this Earth?

twilight city is actually on the sun :O

Well there's one thing to know about this town: it's 5000 miles underground. (And it's alright)

You know, I really thought there'd be a raft, then a ship, then a penultimate fantasy airship to unlock major new areas. Or something like that. Isn't that how games go?

Although, I have to admit I love the idea of going into space and/or fighting aliens. It's what superheroes do!

Parallell dimesnions? Crisis on infinite Twilights? Yes please!

and your snakes.

In all seriousness though, it would be neat if there was some sort of public transportation for farther out places. you would have to pay a fee, but you wouldn't have to have a vehicle. (Presumably the vehicle that had enough range to get to this unknown place would be pretty hard to obtain.)

It's a map and your mode is by transportation for a reason: future content.

Patience, peoples.

I like enterthewumpus's idea, although it does seem kinda game breaking, even if the cost is moderately high.

Not if it works like the Maze. For instance:

You take the Desert Express for 50 chips and find yourself in the "Out in the Desert" container document. While there, you're limited. You can cast spells, sure, but if you want to change equipment, you need to spend another 50 chips to get back to Somerset. If you want to use the Hospital, or go to Jitterspout, you'd need to go back to Somerset, then hop on a different bus to the university or to downtown.

The biggest problem I see is a player who spends his last 50 chips getting to the desert and then immediately croaks. Potentially, you could be stranded there. This would probably be solved by forcing players to buy round trip tickets, so it'd be 100 up front.

Of course, I imagine this would be a nightmare to code.

It could be a different transportation system for each other location you wish to go to. For instance, sub-way to City B and a Cruise Ship to City C. And, instead of having to go back to Somerset every time, you could pack a limited amount of equipment in your "suitcase."

Yeah. I've thought seriously about using some sort of location enforcement--you have to pay to go each way, or even the time to patrol in an area could change to include the distance traveled--but yeah, nightmare to code is right. I have enough trouble with the simple distance restrictions and locking people in/out of the maze. (And I get a hefty number of comments/complaints about what is/isn't realistic to be able to do while you're locked in or locked out.) Trying to do that on a more global scale would take a lot of time and effort.

And, from the player perspective, I think it would add a complication that just isn't really that satisfying. Or it would be far more annoying than enjoyable. So I'd rather spare folks the trouble, and spare myself the trouble at the same time.

On the bright side, the need to avoid this "practical" restriction has given me cause to work on a little bit of science fiction storyline that I think people will enjoy.

Man, I didn't even think of the whole equipment thing... yeah, that would be a pain.

Storyline, eh?

Yep. Storyline.

As soon as I've got internet back at my house (moving has caused me to be mostly without it for a few days) I'll start developing that line a bit.

Blue Laser is going to blow up the OCEAN?!

I'd actually like to see more areas lock you in like the Maze does. It made it a bit more challenging.
