Coding Difficulty: Medium - Hard (?)
Coding Type: Add New Creature
Difficulty: Medium - Hard
Type: Predatory Creature / Antagonist
Objective: Feed to survive. / Feed upon X Creatures [for green text purposes (?)]
Brief Description: A gateway (or regular) antag, whose objective is just to survive by eating and maintaining a hunger meter.
Deeper Description:
- A monster like creature that would need to "go hunting" for food (aka: crew) to be satiated.
-
It would probably need to be stronger, health or defense wise, than the "breeding" creatures/antags, such as spiders/xenos.
- or 'normal' health/defense if balanced correctly (depending on if its gateway only or if it can come to the station)
- Since its a hunting creature, I'd say it would move quickly, like the hunter xenos.
I originally stated, on discord when i brought up the idea, that it was blind and saw through either echolocation or through things that made sounds.
Few examples:- Crew Talking
- Crew Running
- Radio Chatter
- Throwing Objects
- Explosions / Gunfire
- Etc.
but, I feel like the creature would be an interesting and unique addition even without the 'blindness'
Additional or Alternative Ideas:
-
Evolution:
- Devour to gain point/kills
- Points/Kills = Evolve = Get Stronger/Harder to Kill
- Speed Increases
- Sprite Size Increase [Renault size --> Panther size]
-
Alternative Vision Traits:
- Normal > Thermal > X-Ray [Pair with Evolution(?)]
-
Alternative Objectives:
- Devour X People [Pair with Evolution(?)]
- Devour ALL Crew [May be too hard to accomplish]
Foreseen Challenges:
-
How strong is too strong? / how weak is too weak?
- If gateway only, it could devastate people going on solo missions.
- If gateway, but can travel through, it could cause chaos in an already chaotic round (eg: blob, wizard, etc.)
- If station antag, it'd need to be buffed if we're expecting a 100 person crew to valid hunt it to death.
- If blind, how is this coded well enough to make it fun to play?
Final Notes:
Let me know what you think.
I've done minor coding, on a different game, so I'm not necessarily good at coding. Not sure Exactly how hard it'd be to add but it shouldn't be too hard to as I feel some of it could be copy/paste.
Thanks for reading.
