Hey, just gave a look at the novelty ride thingy in the game files, it's also refered as "portal_shipwrecked" and "boatportal". So yup, it's a portal. For what? I don't know, but it's probably adventure mode.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be the portal to the RoG/Vanilla world, not an adventure mode. But an adventure mode would be awesome...

D'aww, you beat me to it.

*disappears*

(But yeah, Adventure mode would be pretty fun, but also kind of confusing. Would we find Mawell at the end as usual, or Wally? Or someone controlling Wally?)

Does Woodlegs have any lines or something about being freed?

The portal might be the world hopping one :/

No, but 

Spoiler

there are references in the files to a set piece containing a cage for him in the volcano level, and to three keys that will be required to unlock it.

It could still be set in an adventure mode, in a specific Wes-like set piece

There's some new ranged weapons in Shipwrecked, so, maybe a character centered around ranged damage? There are melee fighters in this game, but there's no ranged one yet. Also in SW more enemies have ranged attacks than in RoG I feel. And we got regular characters so far, but no fighter. So maybe Watricia will be a fighter?

For Woodlegs, I would like something crazy. Like for example, he doesn't need a boat, he IS a boat. Upon entering water he would transform into a pirate ship and share his regular health with ship health maybe? And he would get sanity bonus for finding treasures. Because y'know, he's a pirate. He loves that crap.

I just hope she won't be the same as the character mod I'm making (a range-based hunter)

For Woodlegs I'd expect his bonus is going to be that he's slower on land but faster on boats, with perhaps another feature from his sailing experience.

That's actually not a bad idea, his namesake already gives you enough ideas on it... also to keep in mind is "sea legs".

Another thing to support this is that the islands aren't that big so having a speed reduction on land and having a speed bonus on boats would be a logical thing to think of.

Any other things in the files rezecib that you have found that have yet to be implemented?

The problem here is as always the RoG worlds later on. Reduced speed might not be a problem in the SW worlds where Landmasses are not as big so reduced speed is not so much of an issue but once you get to the RoG worlds his reduced speed would be a major pain in the ass.

I remember trying out some mods a while ago and one of the Character mods had reduced movement speed as a thing and it was SUPER annoying to play with that because you feel so sluggish and going anywhere takes so long. Also makes Landcombat a whole lot more annoying because you can't kite as relyable with a slower character.

Although i agree that he probably should move faster on a Ship.

This post is a little out of date, in that some things have been implemented, but no new hints have been added either, unless they're in places I don't have ways of searching as effectively (e.g. the anim and image files).
