The game gives you zero time to hide from a seeker, maybe give the seeker no vision for 30 seconds, and tell the hiders too hide.

Currently the game doesn't even support hide and seek unless the players force it, which is pretty dumb

There is lol

What

You know how there is a time where there are no seekers, then the game chooses one

#

I'm saying when the seeker is picked

Yeah, this has been debated. I agree. Sometimes it's just a pin fest right off. We'll talk more.

Yeah the original intention (and how I usually play) is that everyone hides during the 30s, which naturally splits people up beforehand

Then the seeker is chosen, and at that point they don’t know where anyone is (since they also went somewhere else), so they start hunting

#

Originally the seeker got teleported out of the map to get started but that sucked lol

#

Obviously what you usually see is that people are just vibing during the 30s and then the seeker is chosen and it’s too late to hide

#

But as a personal choice, if you want to play hide and seek you’re supposed to hide before the seeker is chosen

Saw someone suggested this the other day and I wanted to second it, but I guess egg did it before me

There is no real match or anything

#

We need to actually know when we are supposed to do stuff before they pop up in our face

#

I originally argued against it because I was worried that it would be too intrusive

icy sun
# maiden musk Yeah we could add extra prompts fs

It really depends on the lobby, some people just want to be seekers or they don’t want to tag anyone, so they don’t even care when the game restarts.

However, I think that you can say when the next seeker will be chosen after a team wins

#

And that should be enough

Yeah there is a problem with people not actually playing the game when they get chosen as seeker and it's kinda annoying.

Having someone randomly chosen after a while is an okay bandaid for it though.

Maybe even something at the bottom of the screen like "seeker will be chosen in 30, 29, 28, etc."

Ty

maiden musk
#

that's what we're planning

upper gust
#

Or a watch that shows the times of rounds and such

#

Just saying 👀

neon vector
#

If it wants to be a hide n seek game there has to be blindness stuff

Nothing too big

#

Just some basic settings to customize the feel

#

Like if you don’t want seeker blindness you can turn that off

#

List of settings:
Seeker blindness
Hiding time
# of Seekers
Max stuffing

#

Maybe also a menu that can allow/disallow certain items

@silent kernel @crimson storm @drowsy loom We added some clarity to the round structure in v0.4
