This behind the scenes talk is really interesting. And the wildcards mode looks fun.

A wild card that puts a decoy and if someone shoots it it reveals them

Also for the pve mode i think if thr bots wer elike some sort of maybe monsters or ghosts rather then just 2 legged bots would be absolutely amazing

My idea for more Psychological trauma, picture this a creepy old caretaker who takes care of the mansion who wander around the mansion in gameplay and when you open a door he’s on the other side, or if he gets close to you as he wanders around, he will knock your flashlight out of your hand and you will see the animation of the flashlight flying across the room, and all the player would see is the beam spinning across the room then landing on the floor spinning on the spot it stops at and the player has to retrieve their flashlight. This could tip the balance in a match alone plus the Psychological effect of being in the darkness and seeing the beam of your flashlight at the other end of the room with some creepy caretaker in the room with you who you can’t see now because your in almost darkness would be frightening until you pick up your flashlight and your back in the fight. Another point maybe you could use a card to send the caretaker into a room where you think an enemy player is and he will mess up their flashlight as you run in and take them out. Just a thought to make this more frightening and put players into a panic because of the creep caretaker lurking around in the darkness.

I also think for the pve game mode their should be some sort of ranking system maybe where you can unlock cosmetics different skins for things like knifes

Just played my first game last night, and i loved it i really look forward to what you guys are going to do with it next.

Just another idea of more maps rather then just 1 mansion. All in all very good game tho.

Excited for the early access release. Will character customization be a future video posted?

This is my ideal perfect game. I’m not a random normal video gamer player. I’ve played strategy games competitively and shooter games competitively for years. The idea of this game and the surprisingly great gunplay is amazing. The way you keep this game alive is adding more variables. You’re doing that by adding more cards and adding more toys. I would focus on those two things more than anything else. How insane would it be if there was like 100 different wacky cards and every single game was different? Wildcards and toys are your bread and butter. The other big thing is gamemodes. Gamemodes in the game right now are great! I would like to see a last person standing or last team standing type of mode like I said in my other comment. Wildcards, toys, and gamemodes are how you make this game everlasting. Most devs don’t understand this. Map is perfect. Gameplay is perfect. Just make the game fun and wacky with more cards and toys.

This game is great. Keep adding to it! A mode I would really like to see is a last team standing or a last man standing type of mode. You could add 2 objectives and make it attack and defense like search and destroy from call of duty, or you could do a battle royale shrinking circle type of deal after awhile, but I think that would be the most popular mode in the game if added

PvE and bots too? So exciting. I didn't know if we'd get a mode where you can play exclusively with bots yourself but I hope that's the case.

The beta was fun grabbing early access tomorrow on PlayStation.
