Zeklo Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Now we all know that each of the seasons have there own danger, winter has its cold, summer its heat, spring its rain, and autumn... well nothing yet. So I was thinking, what would be something that autumn could have and so I went to the elements. Summer - Fire, Spring - Water, Winter - Earth (I guess?), so Autumn would be air. So how would this work exactly? I don't really know, perhaps wind could knockdown structures and throw around loose items. Maybe to the extremes even push around the player and creatures. I mean I guess autumn could be the laid back season where you prepare for the others but I think I would like to see something special for it. Now autumn like spring shouldn't be as bad as winter or summer, so I just wanted to throw this idea out there and see what you guys think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosten Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I think autumn is supposed to be the startup season, besides, if you have to contend with all the dangers of summer and spring in the first few days then there's very low chance you'll surivve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to give time to prepare.Sounds like a good idea, except we need atleast one season of respite, Summer has blistering heat, Winter is crazy cold, Spring... well, not sure about it, and from what ive seen and heard the only 'safe' time to go into the caves is during autumn because seasons are even worse in the caves, (Which makes no sense, btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadpanQuinkan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The year need's some kind of down time. Autumn's threats shouldn't be as direct as the others. Preferably self inflicted. That's what I find this game does best with it's dangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joulesFect Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The season should definately be easier than others. I still agree that a unique gameplay element would make it awsome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopcornTattoo Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 as much as I want Autumn to be a relaxed season so we can have time to prepare for the other season I really would enjoy having constant wind that moved any items on the ground or was just aesthetic with leaves blowing everywhere and the sound of wind all season it would add a nice touch and still be an easy season without any drawbacks besides "don't put your stuff on the ground" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided you know what you're doing of course. The difficulty with a spring start is the summer follow-on because you don't have a nice winter to collect ice to prepare for summer. If your world doesn't get a rock biome you'll have a rough go of summer. If Klei wants to still be able to get new players, they probably need to leave autumn as a (relatively) easy season, because someone who's new to the game would become very frustrated, I think, if right from the start they had to deal with all kinds of stuff, including items blowing around which is seriously going to turn them off - that would seriously annoy me and I'm experienced. Blowing traps over I could see, but it needs to be explained if you examine it, so newbs understand what happened. Nothing is more frustrating than obstacles that you don't understand. Just witness how problematic the first wetness system was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm wondering if the deciduous tree monster is going to be a bigger threat in autumn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Time Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Something different would be nice. Wind sounds difficult to design in a way that's meaningful yet not too frustrating. I guess tornadoes would be one way to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess tornadoes would be one way to go about it. Yeah tornadoes could be a good idea. Maybe the wind could move some kind of items on the ground very slowly (traps wouldn't move for example) but it will be something really difficult to managed.An other idea could be that the wind go in a specific direction an so you could win a speed bonus or penalty depending on your moving direction.There could be a wind meter and so you can know when there would be a day of wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People won't like dangers they can't fight. People like giants (which probably have the same basic effect as a tornado would) because they can fight a giant.

An Artifact Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I really like the wind idea. Knocking over traps and such would be a nuisance, but nothing too horrible to deal with, so it wouldn't make autumn very hard like summer or winter, but also not just an empty season without any real unique features.

porps Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 isnt a brief respite from the harshness of the other seasons in and of itself a unique feature of autumn? i kinda like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taciturn Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, that actually is a fair point. Indeed. I hope they'd leave Autumn as this respite, and then focus on differentiating the challenges of summer from those of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomfan64 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Am I the only one who thinks there should be random days of wind in EVERY season? Also not to mention that, at the start of Winter, you can hear blowing wind ANYWAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
