Roadmap

Procedural dismemberment

• Slice through waist or shoulders
• Sliced head causes NPC to stand 0.5s before falling
• Arm sliced makes NPC grab the wound with their other hand
• Partial cuts can be pushed through with enough force

Crawling when legs are dismembered

• Pull yourself along the ground when a leg is shot off
• Syringe heals damage, second syringe at full health regenerates a limb (legs prioritised)

Exit wounds

Better gore

• Blown limbs and heads keep partial parts on the neck or stump
• Similar to the Bonelab bonetrail mod

Blood stains your clothes

Choking

Ability to blind enemies

• Sucker punch someone in the eye to swell it shut and block their vision
• Flashbangs would tie into this system

Break arms and snap necks in multiplayer

• Fractured arm makes it harder to hold and pick up items
• After 5 seconds the hand opens and drops whatever is held

Multiplayer physics

• Breaking bones, chopping and other physics interactions should work on other players

Better recoil

• Shooting a sniper one-handed should dislocate your arm and send it flying

Make stabbing easier

• Slowly pushing a blade into an NPC currently does not register

Add melee NPCs

Traps and tripwires

• Landmine: steps on, detonates on release. Slide an object onto it to prevent detonation
• Bear trap: snaps the limb, must be opened manually, can be chained. Bleeds heavily when removed
• Claymore: walks in front triggers shrapnel explosion
• Spike plate: pressure plate that impales the foot, doubles as a wall trap for arenas
• Gas mine: poison or smoke on trigger. Obscures vision, causes coughing, drains health
• Remote C4: sticky explosive with a handheld detonator. Does not explode when shot unless the detonator inside is hit
• Barbed wire: slows movement, cuts, makes noise. Can be wrapped around weapons for bonus damage
• Tripwires: cross a threshold to trigger a connected trap. Physics-based so the wire actually pulls against you

Grenades and explosives

• Frag grenades, flashbangs and fire grenades
• C4 with a remote detonator that triggers all placed charges at once

More weapons

Stick deadzone setting

• Tired of accidentally standing up from crouch
• Option to disable auto-grab within close range of the hand

Valve Index finger tracking

• Interactions feel off when only one finger triggers a grab

Tactical gear system

• Physically equip helmets, NVGs, vests and headsets instead of menus
• Flip-down night vision goggles with limited grainy view
• Proximity voice chat with directional audio and push-to-talk radio
• Grab magazines and reload manually from vest pouches
• Heavier loadouts reduce speed and stamina, armor plates degrade over time

More sound variety

• Punching, bone breaking and stabbing reuse the same sounds
• More variety would greatly improve feel
