Hardcore mode

Hardcore mode will be completely optional, and can be done in character customization. Hardcore mode makes it so that the player has only one life but reaching max level (or end game) will give them a unique accessory (or any other reward that seems fit). This one is optional but hardcore players that are defeated by demons, the player demon will have an option to force feed them blood (again this is completely optional but it’s a cool feature that’s cannon)

In an open world public game involving pvp, this wouldn't be a good idea, and we don't want players to be able to make others demons

Also we don't care about canon stuff since demon slayer is purely an inspiration, if we followed canon story and combat mechanics, this game would be utter trash

I see where you’re coming from but for my point of view, it’s simply an 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 setting that players can do for extra content or if they enjoy harder gameplay. Some players like the thrill of actually risking it all in a fight

And for this, I don’t really get what you mean for the cannon part, the cannon part was more of just a small statement I put out there, it would be pretty boring if they followed a cannon story, but players being able to turn you into demons felt like another alternative to just being doomed when you lose

Only way I can see it work is it being in separate servers

Yeah that seems fair
