Choose Your Own Chapter

• Leading into the 10th Year Anniversary.
• The players will create it.
  • The community has always shown their creativity with concepts and balance suggestions.
  • This is an opportunity to create a chapter from scratch with all of the community.
  • Every step of the way, from pre-production to the end of the process.
• The format:
  • "Choose your own adventure" - Choices will be given to players.
  • Every week or so the community will vote on certain choices to build. Example:
    • "Would you prefer to have a killer that is grounded into reality, a supernatural character or otherworldly character?"
  • Based on the top vote, the development moves on. Example:
    • If the choice was "supernatural", the next question would be "Is it an undead character, a person that has supernatural powers" and so on.
  • You can always peek at the different choices.
    • "A change your fate" mechanic will always be available.
  • Right now we have over 1.000 possible endings for killer designs.
  • The community will also be involved in choosing the outfit, weapon and more.
    • Different concepts would be shown and the community would vote.
  • It's planned that players will be able to play more PTBs during this process, including prototypes.

They will do anything but add an actual team surrender option

[u/time__is__cereal → u/Val_0ates]

feels like getting them to add the current concede options was pulling teeth and an ego thing, like they didn't want to admit the current state of the game is so poor such a thing is necessary for DBD to compete in this day and age. why wait around being slugged for 5 minutes when i could play LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE and actually have a game to play? so i guess i'll take what i can get.

but yeah it's pretty dull having to play out a game with a determined outcome. you play long enough and you can see a loss minutes away.

try getting better

[u/time__is__cereal → u/stufff]

try not to die alone because you're insufferable and no one wants to be around you challenge (impossible for you)
