cptCalavera Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) I just had a crazy idea. And I know this doesnt fit into the whole survival theme very well. but I just thought that it is PERFECT for the atmosphere. In short: The Circus should come to town! (Not a happy circus, but a dark cicus, a circus that you imagine roaming the dirty streets of London at the same time that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were around.) Im thinking about this as some kind of rare, random event. Maybe if you dig up certain objekts from the graves and combine them or give them to someone special. Then you have a small chance that the cirkus will arrive on the day after a full moon. And they arrive via boat or a bridge that only thay can make visible, or something (Details on how you get them to come and how they get there arent really imortant) And they would stay for a few days before leaving again. Anyways.They would live in a small caravan consisting of two or three dodgy veichles pulled by a few worn down beefalos. About the same style as the pig houses but more colors and more weird details. While they are there you can trade things or gamble if you go to the caravan. But you can also bump into the cirkus people that will be wandering around the islands, gathering items, looking around, maybe visiting your camp trying to kill you or steal your stuff? There would be the cirkus director with his top hat and trusty pet monkey. He will perform the tradings at the caravan. The bearded lady who will attack you and shave off your beatiful beard! The strong man, Wolfgangs long lost brother? Friendly if you are friendly. But gets uncontrolably angry if he is upset. A fortune teller who will reveal secrets of the islands. The creepy mime who never speaks. He also plays a tricky three-cups-one-ball-game. And of course, the evilest of clowns... I cant draw worth anything so you just have to imagine what they look like Edited June 15, 2018 by cptCalavera grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Fu Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Maybe just plan gypsies? A whole circus seems like it would be quite big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptCalavera Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ye, i think thats what I was aiming at. But it sounds better saying "The circus is coming to town" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonradosHut Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hm... I like it. I even felt the sudden urge to draw those guys, but I held back. I have work to do...I like the idea, and I actually think it would add to the atmosphere... but it would be a LOT of work. Maybe too much work, sadly...

cptCalavera Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) I was actually hoping you would draw something up Konrado (Or someone else of you artsy people)And yes, probably a lot of work. But a possible DLC for the future? Edited October 24, 2012 by cptCalavera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyD Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 They would make you feel more alone than ever when after 3 days or so they just LEAVE you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burfl Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I think it would be awesome if they appear in an existing place, replacing what was there (rocks/trees/etc), then when they up and disappear, they leave no trace, as if they were never there at all.

SAAj Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 To make the Cirkus more feasible from a 'stranded all alone' perspective, perhaps they could all be ghosts or something similar? They could all arrive out of the ground at graveyards and leave the same way, or enter in a ship that rises out of the water and sinks back into it when they leave. This way, there would no question about why the player couldn't simply leave with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dijad Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Like the idea, and as someone in here stated, it would make you feel that much more alone when they suddenly leave, with no trace they were ever there in the first place. Would add to the feel of questioning ones sanity when alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
