  1. add freeroam to the start of the game, no locked houses
  2. keep the tv in quentins office
    which shows you where you need to go for the main story
  3. add side quests, these can be in any house at any point (so you can do any sidequest, while following quentins TV for the main story, sidequests will be viewable on his board)
  4. add lots more ai features like for pranking and sandbox
  5. change up the puzzles a bit to feature the ai more
  6. Make the puzzles impossible if you haven't reached the house yet, just open them for side quests.

adding freeroam from the start of the game would not work with the current story progression

astral dragon
#

Why wouldnt it work

#

just lock something in the houses so you can't do it

#

like only make the main puzzle appear then

#

They could still have Otto’s and gerdas locations open at least just not their keys

#

Yet

astral dragon
#

only side quests will be available in the houses if you haven't reached them yet

lilac parcel
#

then whats the point

astral dragon
#

Side quests

graceful pond
#

To make it more open and free

astral dragon
#

When I said side quests in the suggestion I meant lots of them

lilac parcel
#

whats the point in going to any location you want if you cant even complete it

astral dragon
#

maybe even auto generated ones with lots of options

#

Like I said earlier

#

example: "citizen wants you to prank the mayor, do this specific prank on the mayor"

#

and just a lot of those

#

maybe make a system on the board in quentins office where you can accept quests

#

and then it does something like "unlock the mayors safe" after you accept it, it would spawn a new puzzle in the mayors house

#

with a safe and a way to unlock it

#

and inside would be something lore-related

#

so it feels rewarding to do the side quests

#

Someone in the chat also just suggested a currency idea which is a good idea too

#

also a way to add back the shop from HG

#

what would you buy

astral dragon
#

and it would sell you items that help you progress in the main story maybe?

lilac parcel
#

like what

astral dragon
#

Maybe they could make some changes and make it so you need an item from the store to progress

#
  • they could add more items which are for fun and sandbox
#

like the rope from 1.5 you could use to make the guest trip

#

maybe also once patch 10 releases

#

it could be that you need a generator for a puzzle

#

nvm this wouldnt work

#

scrap that

#

ruined town wouldnt have side quests since it's... ruined

lilac parcel
#

they scrapped the generator systems for a reason

astral dragon
#

but this idea could work, just needs some changes to the main game and a lot of work but it can work

#

the side quests and stuff

graceful pond
astral dragon
#

there was a generator in one of the pictures

graceful pond
#

Yes

astral dragon
#

from patch 9

#

good point

Like he’s like where do you think you’re going?

#

I miss the day and night cycle

astral dragon
#

I added another point (6) to make the current progression work

#

they could also change it up a bit

#

hold on.

#

After u finish the police house in hn2, he gives the key to gerda on the camera

#

so you could just do that, and if you go to the bakery before the neighbors house, the key just isn't there because she hasn't received it yet.
