“sound” : "RRRRING RRRRING RRRRING! RRRRING RRRRING RRRRING! PHONE CALL! PHONE CALL!"

[kevin.granade]

can’t lookup the url at the moment, but search github issues for “nightmare”.
tl;dr I think having the player occasionally “wake up” to a different nightmare than the on they’re expecting is a great idea.
also the hallucination stuff could use some more love, the glitchy visuals and fake monsters are neat, but it could be expanded a lot. i think there’s a lot of room for improvement in auditory hallucinations in particular.

[Soyweiser]

I made something useable. Feel free to mock me. Make a better hallucination, why don’t you?

You kinda misinterpreted me. I was laughing pretty hard at the stuff.

I think we should have nightmares were the player is teletransported to a premade room or a bizarre building, and then monsters would start to spawn. When the player dies, he would be teletransported back and informad that it was actually a nightmare. I think that is a good idea.

I like the old idea that was put forth where you ‘wake up’ in your bed like normal, but with a dozen hulks smashing down the walls/hostile NPCs in your room shooting at you/all your loot is gone/whatever and the game plays it like it’s real for a dozen turns or so, then poof it’s all back to normal and you wake up in your bed. If the RNG is feeling really cruel it could make it so you didn’t actually wake up that second time, but you’re just in another dream. Repeat as necessary until the player goes nuts or the RNG decides to let you wake up for real.

As interesting/fun as that could be, it could also be massively annoying if you’re just trying to get something done and you can’t break out of a dream. Especially, if you knew it was a dream (loads of hulks smashing down the house might be really unlikely in many scenarios).

As KA101 said, for some people this will be great but for others it’ll be annoying as hell, and even for those that do like it, there will be some cases where doing something which isn’t at all productive (dream fighting!) would just get annoying.

I’m not against this, but I think it should be rare or toggle-able.

So we have mom, so where’s dear old Dad? Here he is.

I’d like to get these hallucinations pull requested, or atleast hallucinate that they’re pull requested.

Put this bit in migo_speech.json

Feature freeze at the moment. Once 0.A launches, feel free, folks.

[Soyweiser]

Yeah, when the feature freeze is over im going to look again at the migospeech file. It needs a rename. And some other work probably.

[TheGrifter]

Feature freeze? O.A? What? When??!
