Warmth...

[Karma Hound]

I was just thinking about the upcoming warmth mechanic and if it would have a meter or not. I was thinking about this mostly because I think that another meter would just overcrowd the right side of our screen with meters. So I have an idea of how you can have a meter of sorts, but wouldn't add to to cluster of meters on the side. The way I was thinking you could do this is have the health meter slowly turn blue if you are getting cold. Also that the picture of the heart has a second layer of a frozen version of it, that slowly becomes opaque the colder you get so it looks like the heart is freezing. Then once it becomes full frozen you slowly lose health or something unless you warm up. (And what would make the warmth thing even better is if the characters themselves got visibly colder...)

The health meter could look like it had icicles hanging off of it.

The whole screen should freeze in from the edges, like some times in Cryostatis. Y'know, it should just get a little "icy", but transparent, on the edges. When the whole screen is frozen, you die.

+1 to this idea here. I'm really against adding meters, but this grapic way of showing freezing fits. My only concern is it woudl become hard to follow if the character goes insane.

We all will end as very sad and insane icy statuettes. But I like the freeze idea much more than another meter.

When you are insane, i assume it's hard to tell if you are warm and comfortable or not

that............. makes sense actually. Cold, frightening, terrible, dishartening sense.

But my point is, the icy thing would look cool, and we don't have tons of meters.PS: I remember when you had only 50 posts, last week 30 posts per day, good job

How about the skin of the characters wents more and more blue-ish if they become cold?

I think that would be better just use a similar animation to the hatching tallbird eggs and a dialogue line.

Interesting,will there be also the possibility of overheating like a heatstroke? Like when you wear your warm clothes in spring/summer or if you are too close to a fire?

I don't think humans can overheat. We can stand temperatures up to 200°F or 90°C

And why is a fever of over 42° Celsius very dangerous? Because the protein will be damaged. Of course a human can overheat and die.

Yeah, that's inner temperature you're talking about. But when it's just on the outside (from a fire, in the sun) it would take hours to die of a 42°C outter temperature.I mean, of course you can overheat, but not from staying near a fire for 30 minutes or so

Ok^^ but i meant if you have a temperature too cold, good temperature there should be a too hot (like the tallbird eggs) which is also bad for your health.

It sounds reasonable, but the jacket (i have no idea what's it called right now) you make out of a koalephant trunk, sais that it is also suited for summer, in the description.

Yes...indeed. Well we have to wait how warmth will work to be sure.

But i agree that there should be some kind of overheating.. but it shouldn't be deadly. Maybe hunger depletes faster? Since you're sweating, and in this game thirst=hunger. Kinda.Maybe it's not warmth Klei wants to implement, maybe it's just "Coldness"...

Or you could loose sanity because your brain is cooked in your skull.^^
