Ideas from r/hawkthorne

[niamu]

Here are all of the ideas that have been tagged in the subreddit. Opening this issue so we can perhaps create a comment for each idea that hasn't been addressed that we think should be.

[edisonout]

Ideas I think are good and/or possible to implement in the next month (i.e. ignoring multiplayer/paintballl/new levels)

---

All characters warp into studyroom

Christmas Pterodactyl boss (though obviously main game bosses take priority)

Naked sprites for all characters to lose at poker

A meowmeowbeenz reference somewhere in greendale

Yahtzee game (again, very low priority)

A message rather than just a noise to tell you inventory is full

Make it more obvious there are more slots in shopping than those visible

Falling icicles

Upstairs room in the town

[niamu]

That's an agreeable list to take on once we finish Cornelius and the new forest levels to our satisfaction. I think it will be a tighter deadline than we realize.

Some ideas from watching youtube videos of people playing hawkthorne/bugs I noticed

Be able to hold down/up to scroll through Hilda's dialog options
Be able to talk to the bar tender
Grey on black in dialog boxes isn't very easy to read
Move manicorns & wipes out of Gay Island
Stars (vertical/horizontal particles) don't always show up on fly in screen
If your inventory is full items from chests stay floating in mid air (see eyeball in village forest)
If you lead Hilda under the balcony & then stand above her she starts twitching
Betting increments are still wrong.
Have JUMP be select on cheatscreen to match with rest of game.
Have a 10,000th flush celebration

Why do the manicorns & wipes need to come out of Gay Island?

[niamu]

And what is wrong with the betting increments?

[edisonout]

They don't need to come out but several people have mentioned them not really fitting in with the rest of the game & being Community references and having wipes being an odd enemy.

Betting increments was something I did wrong a long time ago. Pressing BET + will increase your bet by certain increments depending on how large your bet is. However if you don't have enough money to bet the full increment, you'll bet your whole amount. However, if you then decrease your bet by pressing BET-, you'll go down by the increment rather than down to a nice round number. So if you had $54, $50 -> $54 but $54->$49.

@edisonout I think gay island as a whole needs to be revamped. I'm sure when the levels are redesigned, we could find a better home for those enemies so that they don't feel out of place.

This guy thought the wipes were pillow cases - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAxUNsYsdGU
The video's worth watching just for his reaction to the cherry popper.

[edisonout]

I'm sure we've had this conversation before but would it make sense to return to the map to view the animation for the free ride ferry. Also what are we going to do with the unchartered levels to the north?

[niamu]

I think if we back out to the map to see the ferry ride, we may as well do that between every major level change.

Uncharted levels can be room for new level experimentation after the 1.0 release.

[8bitgentleman]

Controls for moving and using the inventory are different than the controls used in the shopping gamestate. This can lead to confusion and accidental purchases.
