New map/gamemode - Bot Bounty

Nullstrukt

MrJoe that's a really interesting spin on the "collect objects to score" gameplay and could be a lot of fun. I imagine there may be some performance limitations on it (8 players plus several AI players plus physics might tax the engine pretty hard), but if not then an extra twist could involve each of the player teams having a limited number of lives (like the subway map) and the AI bots not just resisting being carried but also fighting back. This would lead to the strategy of player teams trying to eliminate the other team while avoiding being eliminated by both the bots and the other player team. That or just a counter where if the AI team gets a certain number of KOs then it wins and the players get a draw instead.

Cool idea! 🙂

MrJoe even if it isn't a full-blown AI player team, there's definitely a fun idea to be had here. Say the map is a simplified maze or obstacle course with pitfalls and traps and the objects players are trying to collect are mobile (initially I'm thinking of motorized toy mice or something) so players have to chase them down while fighting each other for them. The resistance and knockout mechanics could still apply here and be fun.

A hilarious alternative environment for this to happen: the map is an (obviously fake) city where the animals are kaiju-sized and the objects being collected are cars. A faster or heavier vehicle (a sports car or a semi truck) could be the rare high-point item. Bonus points if the city is destructible. 😛

MrJoe Maybe a collab with the character model that's already in game? 😛

Other perks of the city rampage idea: hazards can become things like aircraft attacking players, water features being a problem, natural disasters causing problems (imagine a huge rift opening because of an earthquake and players stumbling to their doom in it). There is so much potential there, heh.

MrJoe Ha, yep, that's exactly what I was referring to. There is actually a Godzilla-inspired character in the game (I believe it was in the beta but they removed it because it either didn't fit the art style or there was some other compatibility issue with it), but you can still find it cheering in the audience on levels like Beast Hockey, Into The Game, Beast Soccer, etc.

MrJoe I think there should be a map like this but it’s not a scorning map. It’s a waves map. In fact this should be a mode like in gang beasts where you’re teamed up with 3 others people and you have to get past waves of ai
