Creepin' up behind you

Post by danmax67 » 06 Dec 2016, 07:17

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): If you're looking one direction, make sure you can't see the other. Basically, everything behind you will not be visible to you unless you turn around.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): muh immershun

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Billy turns around, Billy sees Johnny stabbing someone, Billy can't see behind him.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): coding

People suggested this since pre-Alpha, it's very difficult to do this along with directional flashlights. Maybe, in distant future, but not in near one, I think.

As a marine main, +++1

But it's not happening anytime soon. A dev mentioned wanting to work on it, but "I want to work on it" is like seven steps down in priority ladder than "coming soon." And "coming soon" takes months.

Yeah, it would be WAAAAAY more imersive, but we must have xenos too, like, they would be only to sense the movement, but it's impossible to nerf the xenos, so

On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

I could play with this feature, but what will the marines get in exchange? It's all about the fair trade.

Xenos only being able to sense the movement of marines while not seeing them. fair trade

Cool feature, but probably something to think about after directional flashlights. I know LW has this, and it's pretty annoying without proper mechanics to make it seamless and smooth.
