It may be of interest to you folks that a couple of the ideas suggested here are already planned features of the game. In particular, the idea that each level/area should have multiple solutions.

Hmm, lets see. Other stuff that would be extremely cool:

- A spiked chain or flail weapon. This could go well with the physics-based game engine.
- Shields. Perhaps a tower shield that provides good protection but restricts movement and a buckler/fist-shield that gives less protection but leaves the user unencumbered.
- Projectile based weapons. Bows, crossbows, blowguns, and whatnot.
- Poison. It could be applied to weapons or projectiles. Also, I rather like the idea of cats that put poison on their claws.
- Ability to climb trees. Or perhaps a grappling hook.
- Camouflage. Certain clothing or armour could make it harder for enemies to spot the player in certain environments.
- Play as different creatures. This probably wouldn't apply to the main game. However, if there is going to be something similar to the 'challenge' levels in Lugaru then it would be fun to be able to play through them as a rat or something.

i think somone might of said this but i think that each race can have some uniqe thing for them that only they have........
-cats could climb and have claws that can retract Kinda like the wolves just dodge easier
-squirrels would further the climbing like runing on walls/up trees for a short period of time
-bunnies are the same sept more they have flashy kicking moves because of those legs dey got
-wolves of course realy strong and fast but bad/ok at reversing
-the rat is faster then the wolf, kind small and weak but can reverse and dodge easily (that could be the cat to)
-the whale hmmm......see Shadow of the Collosus on page 245 :roll: (i feel a boss -only thing coming on if he even makes it)



sugestions welcome

I think that you should be able to be evil during Campaigns and especially Multiplayer. Like say, a wolf, or even better, a Wolverine. Wolverines are huge creatures (compared to the rabbits in the game) that eat anything in their path.

Topic's a bit old...

Though, there might be a multiplayer game where you play as a wolf or something. Dunno if the game would ship with a wolf campaign. There could probably be one modded in though =P

In the game, evil creatures should counter good creatures.

Mice + Rats
Moles + Naked Mole Rats
Hares + Ferrets
Dogs + Wolves
Foxes + Weasels
Squirrels + Raccoons
Badgers + Wolverines

Please consider this for Singleplayer and Multiplayer.

Sorry about all the Wolverine posts. It's just that Wolverines are the coolest small mammals. They are natures warriors, they can take down a male deer. Also, in Overgrowth, you should be able to be cold blooded. I think, even though it would be somewhat challenging, the physics on the movement of a newt or a snake would be awesome.

You should be able to customize your Multiplayer character. Like dress him up to play in a big RPG open map game.

I hope in the Alpha 6 blog report, by "LBP inspired tools", i hope David meant that you can have shape tools that you can cut into along with a sticker tool.

Indeed. I could make a topic about an idea I have for setting up multiplayer characters... buuut... it's probably already been thought of 50 times over.

I doubt it. I think rather than using actual materials like LBP the map editor will, instead, be using objects... Though, materials aren't a bad idea... just, stolen XD

Sticker tool.. it would probably be called a decal tool or something.

The pheonix engine should support cutting into shapes.
