Feel the pulse

[frozen stirrup]

Usecase elaborated in https://discord.com/channels/814225157664407553/1345365100202168320 !

When holding your fingers against the neck, or the wrists of a human character, your controllers will vibrate and you will hear a pulse.

If the person is dead, you don’t feel a pulse.

This will help distinguishing dead people from just unconscious people, which will be useful in conjunction with these two posts:

Just makes it that little bit more interactive 😄

I think it would be good if you could hear your own pulse faintly so you have to destingush between the two

or make that toggleable

Nah I’d say only hear the pulse that your fingers touch

Which can also be your own

[broken creek]

In a high stress situation you might have elevated bpm

Hm kinda useless though.
If you are being shot at you will know that

[broken creek]

True

[frozen stirrup]

And I don’t want to implement a whole cardio system lol

[broken creek]

Might be hard 😭

So- where would feeling your own pulse come in useful

[broken creek]

I was thinking it would make resus. more challenging

so maybe you hear you pulse but feel theirs

[frozen stirrup]

Hm nah that’s a Little too artificial

[broken creek]

Yeah

[frozen stirrup]

Maybe in an advanced version of the health system where you don’t know your health other than feeling pulse speed

[broken creek]

That would be cool

[frozen stirrup]

Like how close you are to dying

But yea in more arcade modes only as a cool detail

[hushed ibex]

Feeling an enemy pulse to see if their actually dead, instead of Faking or unconscious is cool

[frozen stirrup]

Generally the pulse goes up when running/jumping/swinging and down when relaxing

And in more advanced ones you could send em into cardiac arrest by CPR too fast
