So we don’t spam up the entirety of #archived-game-design lol
lol
Anyways what features are different?
unique game mechanics like when ur assigned a team u get to choose 1 out of 3 roles given to u from that team
survival elements
hmm, so there’s 2 teams right?
the roles themselves are different from what u see in other games
yeah 2 teams for now
ok, and you want the investigator to be as strong as the seer?
Ahh ok 👍
deputy is an instant confirmed role too
What roles do you have so far so I have an idea on balance
Seer: Once per game u reveal a player's ability type (killing,informant,support) to everyone
Deputy: U can handcuff players to prevent them from moving or using abilities
Hunter: Basically sheriff from modded among us
Doctor: protect people from potential kill attempts
This is a bit a common idea but:
Investigator: compares 2 player’s ability types to know if they are the same
that be a bit OP
Yeah
I want invest to be simple to fake claim
also I forgot to say the basic double crosser (impostor)
hmm
maybe can investigate a player to learn if they have anything in their pocket
like a gun, bow and arrow, or even nothing
maybe it could figure out how long ago someone else used their ability (recent or not recent) and if you have a basic camper role it would always come up as recent
there is a role like that in an upcoming game called Traitors in Salem
oh
they learn if someone killed recently
I forgot that
I guess the pocket one could work, but wouldn’t it also be hard to fake?
oh
@copper tulip maybe imposters can also see the pockets of other people as a passive ability and investigator has it as an active one
yeah
but dw about instant confirmed roles
I have a double crosser role that counters confirmed ppl.
Oh ok
and there is another double crosser role that messes with informant roles so yeah
bruh
My wifi sucked
Yeah, I’m looking through a list of old role ideas made by me for another game to see if there’s one that would work lol
which one?
MM if you’ve heard of it
It’s a decent community
Yeah?
Can check a body to see the killer's fingerprints then u choose another player and it will tell u if the fingerprints match or not
Yeah that could work
I will find a way to implement this >:D
Well every player has a player number right? You could have the body store the number of the player who killed it and then compare the 2
player name
Or that
You could also make it so they have to stand on the body for some time “gathering evidence”
Like 3 or 5 seconds
So it would look a bit suspicious if someone found them just standing on the body
agreed lol
And it would also force them to decide to whether report the body immediately or wait to gather evidence in case it was a different killer
there is no reporting system lol
Aww rip
