Restricted Sprint?

[3dge]

Pre-comment - I didn't have time to read the whole thread so I'm just replying to the first bit.

Wait, what problem exactly are we trying to solve? You know, other than "these kids are too damn scared"? What benefit would a sprint mechanic have in the game?

I'm not a fan of game mechanics that limit you. It's transparent, annoying and breaks immersion, and I think the free running works fine. This game is supposed to send you running for your life. This game is not designed to kill you if you make a mistake. It's not made to challenge and punishment for failing. It's built for immersion in horror and story, to make you feel fear.

Here's the clincher: You know what has a fatigue mechanic? Slender. I don't think anyone made it through a game of that without screaming that the goddamned obese chick you're playing needs some fucking excercise.

I will sum it up, we basically used our time to evolve the original idea and make it truly sanity related, and after reading everyones comment I gotta say that this is a thing that's gotta be handled with absolute care, if one thing is wrong then you basically ruined the game and have to implement a new patch as soon as possible.
When it comes to slender I've screamed countless times that this fucking high on MC Donald-manate gotta go to the gym, that is a sprint mechanic gone horribly wrong.

I've been thinking, and adding some sort of restriction on the sprint would make the game unrealistic, in Amnesia people don't sprint for long enough duration for this to even take effect, people can do amazing stuff when high on life and sprinting is on the first page of super powers.

I feel this thread is kinda concluded here, we've walked around the pourage trying to find a solution, but it really is just a mechanic that shouldn't be touched.
