#The idea of diverse content at night

What if there were mutants, or anomalies that only appear at night, for example: You're walking back to the base from a mission, and suddenly different shadows appear behind a tree, watching the player but doing nothing, like the souls of people who once lived here? I know that my idea may be stupid and not very useful, but I think my idea makes sense in general...

#

Or, for example, if the player hadn't slept for a long time, and shadows would appear in the locations.

Kind of like going insane?
Sounds reasonable would add an element to the “survival” aspect.

If, for example, they are presented as mutants or creatures of the zone, then they should have a certain essence, and they will only cause mild anxiety. Alternatively, they may react to the player in some way, such as: I shot at them, and they either disappeared or started chasing me to kill me.
Or if you approach the shadows, they will disappear while laughing (for example).

If we imagine it as an anomaly, it would be more like a decoration that would also add to the atmosphere during the night, but it wouldn't react much to the player's actions.

But while I was writing this answer, I thought about making them like people who want to help (in this case, they could be like past explorers who stand at the teleport to other locations in the game). These people are dead, but they want to assist the player.

(And also, sorry if something is not clear, I'm using a translator because I don't know the words that could at least partially convey my idea.)

A cool idea for like going insane or increasing levels on anxiety but sleep or smokes help relieve the insanity or anxiety?

All we can do is hope that others will like it too 🙂

Bit ambitious sounds difficult to implement

I like this idea but I was thinking instead of it being tied to night time for the moving statues, have them be more active the closer you are to the tide

Again, this is just a concept, and of course, I want to find like-minded people to work on it together, so that we can at least provide a good concept to the developers.

And your suggestion to appear at sunrise is also a good idea, as it would serve as a greeting for the radius.
However, when I first played the pirate radius and then purchased it, I realized that I was afraid of the nighttime sounds.
It might not be audible, but as soon as evening (night) comes, the volume of the sounds becomes louder in general (I thought there might be some scary shadows, but there weren't). So yes, I think it would be an ideal addition for the night.

#

And if I monitor this topic every day, I try to respond almost immediately to those who are interested, so we can discuss it together 🙂

A more practical implementation of mental instability might be a reduction of accuracy or introducing a wobble to holding guns. Maybe have some objects like chairs or tables dissappear after first view or appear only after leaving the room and coming back.

#

Possibly some paths open or close based on your level of sanity. Or an increase in certain spawns.

#

It's very Cthulu-esque but certainly plays into the weirdness of the Radius.
