The most important part of the new dungeon loot system is now complete.

This screen will show up when you open a chest. It shows you the list of items you can get, how many you get and how many points they cost. Top part shows how many chests you found and how many points you have. Right part of the screen shows you the item description.

Only thing I'm still not 100% sure about is handling of items you can't pick. Don't know if I should just show them as grayed out names or just replace their names entirely with "???" to make opening chests and getting point more interesting.

it's tricky.
on one hand, if players don't know what items they could get if they have X points, they'll play with the goal of getting those points to see what items are possible. the bad aspect of this is that, if it is an item they don't care about, it will create a situation of "i did all this work for *this*? ". i think since you are trying to reduce RNG and randomness in favor of the player being in full control, it would probably be best to give the player full control (of information in this case) and show them all options.

I will probably do that. Seeing what you can actualy get and looking forward to it is better than just blindly opening chests and hoping the next things is something good.
