I suggested making a second game in another thread, but if that doesn't happen, please, if Hologryph comes back to SN after Sand, make some SERIOUS rebancing. Here are things that I think has to be done to revive SN, because its not fair to leave a strong community like this:
- Fix bugs, and employ a serious anti-cheat system.
2.Get some more cosmetics/brawl modes to keep the community engaged.
After this, I would suggest to do the rebalancing, look, take this game from the top, because the gameplay has become very convoluted, its much more of a combat game that a social deduction game. Encourage people to actually use voice chat, also:
Artstyle. Look, the HN2 artstyle is just hated, because its just badly done. Either just go back to og artstyle (Or at the very least change items like flashlight back to their og models) or put more effort into fixing the lighting, and buffing up other things, because the arty at the moment just looks bad.
Classes. Then, I would suggest to really think about balancing classes like the journalist or taxidermist, because RN both just seem like "Troll" classes. Either balance them, or, as a last resort, maybe even remove them.
More gameplay variety. The game gets repetitive after a while, and it would be really nice to just add new content, maybe have it so the neighbor can cut the power, or an event that causes the kids to split up or join together more.
Neighbor balancing. The neighbor is too powerful from the beginning, the idea on the game's launch of upgrades sounds legeiatmely better. Have so the neighbor, say, can't use any abilities until finding upgrade machines. Also, the neighbor is too overpowered against a lone or small group of kids, but is underpowered over a large one. Balance this.
Map rebalancing. Finally, Make some changes to maps, the Space feels much harder to win as a kid than in other maps, and other maps, such as the amusement park, could really do with a touch up
Also I love SN, it deserves more love.
