I adore this game, seeing how complex this is, and how punishing it is at the same time, how much emotional difference can be added by just giving the expie independent speech and whining sounds. How long and hard it is, and how there’s so much content for a indie game of this volume, I don’t really know how to describe it, but I’d say I just love this game. I’ve gotten far, learned the command bar, all that. And now I have some different ideas for a new update maybe. If you take any of these suggestions, take them and don’t reference me at all. Here’s some of my good ideas:
*Bionic limbs
I know that losing your limbs are meant to be extraordinarily punishing and limiting, but how about if you are lucky enough. You can find a bionic replacement, that when attached, causes extreme pain for a moment of maybe 20 seconds starting with 4 seconds of ‘agony’ then lowering to no pain, and is powered by batteries? It’s a good idea, c’mon. And even maybe, if you use a leg, then how about reinforced rope, stick and alloy making a peg leg?
*losing face
This is just evil I’m so sorry, but it automatically limits the maximum brain integrity, and comes with blind, trauma and disfigured? Idk, it’s already gloomy, so it fits I guess?
*more armor
I was thinking Kevlar vest, 50% thorax and abdomen, if shot by a turret in those places cancels the damage completely a few times? And maybe nvgs? Making everything extremely visible, but terribly green. 10% head armor, face slot. And maybe ear plugs too, to help with loud things, yet also temporarily impairing hearing until removed?
*more weapons
“Maybe more weapons like.. maybe an AWM sniper, extreme damage, but one shot impairs hearing. Also maybe a tomahawk? quicker wood breaking, and is effective when thrown at stuff. Also maybe a rusty version of the machete (last time I checked I think there was a machete) being a debuffed version of the machete, breaking faster, but rusted machete and glow fruit cures it and makes it shiny.
*more moodles
An idea I’ve had, because I’ve introduced rust, then Tetanus should be added, making you randomly Ragdoll and shake, also making wounds bleed more (increased blood pressure) depending on how bad the tetanus is. How about it can occur later if impaled by a rusted variant of the impaling spike trap. Cuasing body wide discomfort and pain. But to combat that. . .
*more meds
How about immunoglobulin to neutralize body wide infections a n d tetanus I’d used? How about can only be used a few times and if used an unnecessary bunch at once, gives non-opiate overdose? Simple, but effective for as many times it accurs.
*little tweaks
Maybe add an orange variant of survivor because you already have one as a corpse? It’d make sense.
*bigger ideas (don’t recommend)
I was thinking a bunch of crazy things, like multiplayer. This would be crazy multiplayer. And maybe freedom to customize expie? Being able to change him to normal, milky or orange? I don’t recommend those too much, but those would go so hard.
Thats all my ideas, if any of these made it, I will be genuinely astonished.
I love this game and can’t wait for the next update!
