“do you think it would work better with the camera where we can see around the pred like when you get eaten?”
I also propose an idea for a third person perspective camera as well. Besides, we couldn’t even see what we even look like, only our arms lmao. But in this idea I proposed, It should definitely be recommended.
“trying to stop their struggle or when they almost get out with some chance you can swallow back down the prey, like the struggle button.”
I think it functions the same as if you’re a Student Predator to keep it simple.
Besides, the Target has frequent chances of upsetting the Apex Predator’s stomach, which means that if theoretically in a normal playthrough, there will be like around 8 - 15 Escape Attempt if you swallowed the Target (Empty stomach calculation only).
If it were the case for the above mechanic, then there has to be a quick time event that you’ll have to press a series of buttons every time the escape attempt pops up. It gets harder the sooner you’ll get to the point of digesting your target.
“After 3 times the target will find the key for the exit so we only have one shot to grab them”
Yeah, the bell system should be the same to keep it consistent. You’ll have about 24 minutes to either escape as a prey, or catch your target as the pred.
It would be very interesting to play as an Apex Predator, probably after rewarding for beating Nightmare Mode on each respective predators.
