Death Scene/Game Over Public Poll
Added 2021-03-20 02:56:30 +0000 UTCHello beautiful peeps.
Now here's a poll that will have a big effect in the gameplay of Deviant Anomalies! And this poll is open to EVERYBODY!
I've been really really thinking about this for a long time and I feel like I want to implement a Game Over in the game.
Now to be clear, this game over WILL NOT send you to the game menu or require you to load up a save file. It will just send you back to the previous choice.
I want to allow the MC to die/fail in certain situations if you pick bad choices or something.
It also allows me to put much more content that I otherwise would not plausibly be able to justify without killing off the player. (For example if the player makes overly depraved/stupid choices or whatever). Choices should matter right?
I also had the idea to do a death scene counter. So the game will record every time you die and it will be like a gallery of sorts. The player would die in various different ways (funny death scenes, brutal death scenes, dramatic death scenes or just plain anti-climatic death scenes). I have many ideas for game over scenes.
And I think it can be a fun thing for players who want to collect all the death/game over scenes. You can get a bonus trophy or something if you unlock all scenes. Or I could even give a special trait or special dialogue to players who NEVER DIE. Or for example if the player always dies from getting hit by car, I could add special dialogue everytime player passes by a car, like some deja vu.
You get the point. Many possiblities.
So what do you guys think about the game over/death scene idea?
Just simple poll.
p/s: Mia storyline is basically done. I will put more content polls soon.

counter to what saigon said, as long as the choice that lead to death are logical rather than abstract, the one would only need to 'get good' to avoid the game over screen. adding a layer of challenge to the game. I supose it would come down to your reason for playing.

All jokes aside I think you should follow your instinct and just do whatever you feel inspired to do, you're the one putting the time and effort into the game and as long as you're enjoying what you're doing i think the game will reflect that. BTW i just finished playing "House of Velez" you should check it out, might help with some death scene idea's.
