PiggyPlus Mod Concept - Interactivity, Exploration, Monsters!

[Tesseract]

Interactivity: You'll be able to carry a lot more objects, just like good old The Dark Descent!
Last worked on: Not started

The game isn't intended to be Amnesia: The Dark Descent 2.

This has nothing to do with TDD. The point of returning interactivity is because it's fun and the loss of interactivity is one of the things people are most dissapointed with.

Exploration: Most of the locked doors are now unlocked and open for exploration.

There's a reason why most of the doors are locked in AMFP.

The point of this mod is to add replay value to people who have beaten the game. Adding exploration is an important part of that.

More Pig! More Pig!: There will be a few extra monster encounters throughout the game.

Why should there be anymore monster encounters than there already are?

Because right now there are very few monster encounters. Get it? Very. Few.

Extra Creepy: The beefed up monster encounters will usually place you into a terrifying situation with a dark, creepy atmosphere. The atmosphere will
also gain significant changes outside the monster encounters.

The game is already like that; again, why more encounters?

Exactly, it already is. But there's a bit of changes and improvements to be done.

More Danger: The pig monster stats will be porked up exponentially, increasing the terror as the monsters now pose a very serious threat. Mandus will no longer regenerate health, relying on an alternate method of healing.

More monsters doesn't mean 'scary' as others have said it would just be annoying and repetitive.

I've already said many times that the monsters encounters won't be brought up to repetitive levels.

Bug fixes: I will fix whatever bug I am capable of fixing. Expect no more getting stuck or falling out of map Special thanks to everybody who contributes to the "Pigs and the Bugs" topic.

It seems like you'll be adding more bugs with all of the unnecessary changes you'll making to an already good game.

Any bugs that appear due to my mod, I will fix them.

A few surprises: There will be 2 very special surprises. Maybe even 3! Super vague hint: One of them has something do with inventory. Let's just say I have this "something to do with the inventory" feature completely figured out already.
Last worked on: Not started

Why is it so important to have an inventory?

Exactly, it's not. It's not important. When did I ever say it was important to have an inventory?

Countless of minor changes: One of the many is the old chase theme from ATDD returning, as the new one is silent and does not induce the terror the old one did.

So basically you just want to create Amnesia: The Dark Descent 2, even though AMFP is intended to be different.

So basically I don't. Pretty sure bringing back a soundfile from TDD won't make this "The Dark Descent 2"

the amount of dangerous monster encounters is low, and even then these monsters prove not dangerous enough. Too slow, too easy to outrun. Hiding in rooms, praying the monster won't come, break down the door and eat you, is a thing that no longer exists in AMFP.

That's because AAMFP isn't ATDD.

Of course it's not. I liked TDD's creepy hiding gameplay more than AMFP's, it should be brought back.

Sorry, but I've never seen arguments as weak as yours presented in any of the countless of forums I've been in.

If you're concerned over how many inanimate objects you interact with then you're playing the game for all of the wrong reasons, Amnesia is not a game about picking up inanimate objects and throwing them.

The game already has replay value, I have replayed it many times and I'm sure other people have.

Who cares about how many monster encounters there are? You're clearly missing the point of the game.

"I've already said many times that the monsters encounters won't be brought up to repetitive levels." Then why are you going to bother adding more encounters? What purpose to the story will that serve? It's psychological horror, meaning the less monsters you see the more the player fears the unknown and starts creating their own fear.

You make it seem like the game has to have an inventory, it's a perfectly good game without it.

"So basically I don't. Pretty sure bringing back a soundfile from TDD won't make this 'The Dark Descent 2'"
You're trying to recreate the game to make it more like its predecessor and my point is, why? It's supposed to be different. You're going to be making all of these changes for what reason? Because the game wasn't what you expected? You're in it for running from monsters, stacking chairs and throwing boxes?

Hiding was a bit of fun in TDD but again, it wasn't the point. You said further up the list that there aren't enough encounters in AMFP so why would you need to hide?

Arguments as weak as mine? I'm merely addressing the pointless changes you're putting on your list. Personally I have never seen such ambitious attempts to recreate a horror game because it doesn't pander to your gameplay standards Mr. entitled.
