Since launch of SN we've gotten 3 new Neighbor class and "Hopefully" a new KID class coming this 2023 Halloween and a level up system and so much more! so i'm here to bring some ideas for immersion!
Back in Halloween 2020 you added new lighting that made it quite dark and it was PERFECT It wasn't too dark it wasn't to bright and lamps/flashlights we're being used MUCH more often! (Which from what it seems you want everyone to use more)
Current lighting is almost like the old lighting but a bit darker but there's no WALL of darkness, Look at the gif showcasing it!
(couldn't find the gif on google so i had to record it using OBS on steam so that's why its a bit strange lol)
Look how much darker it was, it made the game SCARY/spooky and with the new Trap system it could make traps hide BETTER!
I also have another idea for this darkness.
Add back the power box.
At the start of a match the power box is off meaning only Flashlights and lamps work
But if the kids turn on the power box, the lights are still OFF but they can now be turned on
BUT there are some good things if the lights are OFF and some bad things of they are ON
If the power is out smoke traps wont work making it a little more "safe" but if you turn them on it gets a lil more dangerous with them being active
This is also a nice buff to Neighbors such as Ghost
Adjustments to Ghost!
Now with this whole lighting/power box idea Ghost will be MUCH stronger so to balance it out, Ghost cannot grab kids after 1.5 seconds when transforming into his normal form
Whenever a light is turned off during his polter thing the light stays off until its finished
(You can turn off and on a light during his power to reset it and its no longer effected by his power)
Frost area of effect is bigger (Kids should get a bigger warning of Ghosts presence)
Lights that cannot be turned off (Such as the street polls on map 5) CANNOT prevent Ghosts transformation (meaning he can stand in them but still transform out of ghost form) Lamps area of effect should be smaller "by a bit" So ghost has a little more of a chance to get the kids
I thought of a NEW ability (Kind of like a bigger brother of Polter but eh i wanna type it)
Name: Power Surge
What this ability does is whenever used Ghost admits a BIG EMP causing all lights to turn off and the power box is "broken" for 10 seconds meaning it cannot be turn on for that time (after 10 seconds its off meaning the kids can manually go turn it back on but after another 20 seconds all lights that were on before the blast come back on automatically) This ability has a 3min cool down and can be used after 1min 30secs when the game starts.
He cannot sprint while in ghost form when he's used it for about 3.5 seconds (cuz it took a lot of energy and he's already flippin DEAD)
Now maps such as 5 wouldn't be COMPLETLY dark, the lighting only effected indoors
