Do you have trouble spotting snails in the tall grass to find out where that "hello!" is coming from? Do you like afking in spots where you'll be seen? Do you like traversing the Snearth, but have run out of reasons to do so after collecting every hat? Look no further than the introduction of a new item: the Embiggening Shroom ™ .
This shroom:
- randomly spawns somewhere on the map (collection of the shroom is local to each player, not server-side. therefore it is not a race nor a limited resource that can cause competition. However, spawn location may be server-side.)
- only one spawns per day (or per week?) so players can't hoard too many
- adds a new counter to the "C" menu to let you use up consumable shrooms
- when used, makes your snail larger (for a limited time?)
- your "hello!" becomes the deep echo HELLO from the ghosts in spooky town.
Things to be discussed:
- how many shrooms can a player keep until they are maxed out?
- should more than one spawn per day?
- how big does the shroom make you?
- how long should embiggening last?
- does size affect speed? (ex. make you faster or turns you into a stationary and climbable object)
- do certain areas bar usage of this item? (ex. cannot be used in spawn, so leafies aren't greeted with giant snails)
- is the daily spawn location server-side, or client-side? (server-side spawn would mean a new discord channel could open up to show shroom locations every day, perhaps daily travel parties to get the shroom. client-side would mean no two snails have the same shroom location, therefore every snail would have to traverse the Snearth to find it.)
