Hey pranksters! Solyn here from RiotMill 👋
Thanks for diving into our Mall Maul Prototype—here’s an extra dose of details on what we’re sharpening before the next round of mayhem! Everything’s super early, so expect slip-’n-slides and surprises as we go! 😜
🔧 Top Priority: Polish the Basics
-
NPC Shoppers & Player Movement
-
Smooth, natural wandering paths
-
Snappier acceleration, turning & camera feel
-
⚙️ Core Features
-
4 Mall Cops vs. 7 Shoppers
-
Tug-of-war style teams: Cops chase & detain, Shoppers ignite and escape the riot
-
-
Prank & Score System
-
Shoppers smash displays and loot to raise the riot meter
-
Cops tackle & detain to bring it back down
-
-
Extraction Phase
-
Once the riot meter maxes out, Shoppers have one last timed dash to the exits before lockdown!
-
-
Multi-Floor Mayhem
-
Escalators, secret vents & balconies for high-speed chases
-
-
Dynamic Hazards & Power-Ups
-
Random fire alarms, blackout pranks & confetti bombs
-
-
Loadouts & Customization
-
Silly hats, neon kicks & trick-item loadouts
-
🎨 Long-Term Vision
-
No formal community game modes… yet!
-
We’re focusing on tight 4v7 PvP first
-
Maybe LTM modes later (think seasonal flash-sales, one-off chaos events!)
-
-
Full-Art Makeover
-
Final mall décor, polished animations & immersive soundscapes
-
What a Match Feels Like
-
🛍️ Spawn & Roles: You and your crew split into 4 Mall Cops or 7 Shoppers
-
🚨 Fuel the Riot: Shoppers smash and loot to fill the riot meter; Cops tackle to bring it down
-
💦 Mall Mayhem: Foam sprinklers, runaway carts & panicking NPC crowds everywhere
-
🏃 Extraction Phase: When the meter maxes out, Shoppers sprint to the exits before lockdown!
Every round is a wild tug-of-war of destruction, detainment & dash-for-the-exit mayhem!
Everything here is WIP and may tumble (literally!) as we fine-tune the mall madness. Thanks for hanging with us—your feedback shapes every slide, sprint & surprise! 🙌🛍️
