more nonviolent interaction

[scenic kindle]

i'm really surprised this hasn't been suggested yet so if it has and just didn't show up, my bad. i like throwing the guy around and everything as much as the next guy but i think it would be fun to have more interactions that aren't outright harmful. the best example that comes to mind would be throwing something like a baseball and stanley could try to catch it if you throw it close enough to him

but you can slap stanley

slappy slap

actually interesting suggestion

because with that kind of interaction existing it would overlap the violent interaction making a more realistic simulation maybe?

[twilit hinge]

Yeah it's closer to the roots of STBX being inspired by Interactive Buddy

I wanted to have stuff with him able to grab object thrown at him but I never got to prototyping that

[scenic kindle]

that's pretty much what came to mind lol, those type of interactions, when i was typing that i was trying to think of something that could stress them out or soothe them via proximity to it. that made me think if you want to go full interactive buddy maybe there could be a radio that would affect his stress levels or something?

[scenic kindle]

not sure that slapping is exactly nonviolent but yeah lol i would love more tools in that sort of ballpark

[scenic kindle]

for me, a random guy lol, that's the ideal, the more mechanics available the more wild emergent stuff we could do lol

[twilit hinge]

yeah definitely

I'd like to add a small radio in the game actually, might do a tutorial too and make it as a mod first so people have a small example

i was just showing the game to my sister and she suggested hats and paintballs which were relevant to the thread as well lol
