Alright, this one just came to me. I dunno how hard it would it would be to implement (I'm pretty sure the answer is Extremely) but hear me out. Viscera randomization. My (second) biggest problem with this game, when you get down to it, is that you're always cleaning up the same mess. Quote: Yay! New map! Welp, that was fun and tricky to clean up. Do the exact same cleanup job again? Uh... No thanks. But what if it was different every time you booted up the map? Hell, even if you changed it to ten different ways the map could become gib-strewn, that would increase the replayablity. Moreso if you did it on a mess-to-mess basis, where every corpse had ten different ways it could have become as such. That being said, yes, I know this is likely impossible, considering that hand-building it also means ten times more work for you guys. You'd probably need some sort of simulation system, where NPCs were released into the map, killed each other, and left the last one alive. (Even that could be useful—fight the last monster/mutant/alien, or find the last human survivor, and depending on how crazy he is, leave him be, escort him out, or even kill him if he's too dangerous.) But! Just imagine, if you will, NPCs with good AI released into a combat simulator. (Maybe that, in itself, could be a minigame—play one of the marines, help make the mess) They kill each other, and the corpses are persistent, so you show up and clean them out. How awesome would that be? how much would that massively change the game? You could even use this as a testing ground for new AI programming, simulating behavior in all these different environments. Lemme know what you guys think. |

i think part of the humor is that there is no one there but the cleanup crew, you might get the feeling that something is lurking around the corner, but its all in your head.. there is no danger except for your own stupidity |
