Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Idea: Inform the player when the level has been cleared

Now that monsters don't spawn anymore, giving the player a message after killing the last monster ("You feel safer now.", or something) might help some players avoid hanging out in a level more than its necessary to get rid of non-existent monsters. It might also encourage players to hunt down that last goblin just to get that message =/. I'm not sure how players would interact with a change like this.

Another idea would be making monsters more likely to move towards the player's position as time passes in a level.

What do you guys think?

Re: Idea: Inform the player when the level has been cleared

To avoid repeating the message every time a monster is pulled up the stairs and killed, would it be possible to flag monsters that spawned with the level, and inform once when they're all dead?

That's a good idea Matt, we could also make it so it auto-annotates cleared levels (in a similar way to auto-annotations with uniques).
