Here are a couple of ideas for hard mode
-
Animals spook very easily, if they see you running they will spook.
-
Animal population is much lower and not so easy to find.
-
Animals will return after days (in game, explained at idea 4).
-
Days, nights, weeks, maybe months and years counter, so let's say that I am hunting at a need zone and after I shoot a deer and I pass the harvest check, the need zone will be gone and the hunting presure will disapear after a day or more depending on the animals' class.
-
Fainthing, no more infinite running.
-
Costumes will afect you, it will be fun needing to change costumes depending on the reserve.
-
One life only, no one will rage.
-
Rewards system, every 10k cash you will recive a random reward, but keep in mind not every 10k cash like... don't spend the cash if you want more rewards like this: 10k rifle, 20k caller, 30k costume and so on until 100k where I really want a dog for it but like a bad one not so good like the DLC one (I am greedy sometimes but the reward can be changed).
-
Callers won't be so much efective anymore.
-
The AI of the animals should be more advanced for this mode.
-
Hard mode is separate from the normal one.
-
Don't make it an DLC.
