I'm just tired. I don't know if I should keep playing this game. The worst part about this? I love the game, I genuinely do. But it feel like the game itself is rejecting me. No matter what I do, what techs I use, how many breaks I take, I always fall flat on my ass and keep losing. Should I quit the game? Geniune question.
I EVEN USE THIS GUY AS MY SUPPORT SURVIVOR
I have major skill issue when it comes to playing killer sometimes so this feels awesome (using John doe was a good idea)
It's animated too its pretty awesome

^(Once I receive feedback, I might readjust some mechanics on a separate part, located at the very bottom. I hope to keep the text of my original concept unchanged, so if I get convinced for a certain mechanic to be changed, maybe I'll add it there at the bottom.โโ)
^(Also, don't mind the graphics of the abilities and the character I'm using. Those are just remnants of a survivor concept I hadโ. I no longer intend to post the concept after the Whistle collab was cancelled, especially after considering that the characterโs owner might not be comfortable with me creating a concept based on their character.)

For the longest time now, I've seen many players complain about how bland the game's objectives are. Currently, we really only have one type of objective, and it's the flow, arukone, or numberlinks puzzle โ whatever you wanna call it.
While I do like the idea of other objectives outside generators, for now, this is my proposal: 6 new generator puzzles. This concept does not intend for all these puzzles to be added or used in one round. It's more of a, "Oh, you don't like this one because 70% of the player base are children who do not wanna learn about Sudoku? Well, you're in luck โ here's 5 other concepts!"
Also, I've seen some players say that the current generator puzzle is too easy and quick to finish. With that being said, rather than trying to balance these proposals to match the current puzzle type's difficulty and rewards (EXP, cash, malice, and time reduction), I believe we should focus on balancing objectives themselves. Though obviously, the community will have divided opinions about this (much like any other feature of the game ๐ญ).
Plus, I heard the devs are planning to buff Noli's hallucinations someday. These additions and changes might indirectly help Noli through his new Prankster puzzle variants. On a related note, the images of the Prankster puzzle variants I'm proposing are just there to show what you might see if this concept were implemented. They don't guarantee that the difficulty is always the same. Sometimes there are multiple different errors, and sometimes there is only one error โ it really depends on the puzzle type (more about this later). So take the images as proof of concept rather than how I really envision how difficult it would be.
Here's an Imgur link to all the images without Reddit's crazy compression. (I tried increasing the resolution, changing file types, and compressing them myself, losing gradients in the process, and yet Reddit still made them blurry. The closest success I got was using GIFs, but I couldn't zoom in on them on the mobile app. If you know how to work around this, let me know!)

I don't know. LOL!! You guys do the balancing for me. Though, I'll be adding my opinion of how many puzzles should be for all generator types (since I believe giving separate generator types for each puzzle type would be the best way to implement these, but feel free to disagree), but the rest of the balancing is up to y'all. So, here are some questions. I'd like to hear your thoughts about the following:
โ
โ
I'm sure you guys have concepts of your own, and I might have already considered them but threw them into the trash since they do not meet the criteria I'm looking for. I also want to note that I believe generators should always contain puzzles rather than any type of minigame (I'll explain why in a bit). Here are my criteria:
"What's Noli gonna do with this?" So yeah โ if the puzzle can't implement some sort of error, then it cannot be used.โ
โ
After this point, I'll be explaining each of my 6 generator puzzle proposals. You've probably seen the images by now, but if you haven't, you can do it right now and view them while following along with my incredibly long and sad explanation.

This puzzle uses a 4x4 grid. It can be completed by clicking/pressing the letters in ascending order (A, B, C, โฆ, P). Letters that have been pressed in the correct order will turn green and get a dim green background.
If you click an incorrect letter, the puzzle will pause for 2 seconds, playing a fail sound effect and highlighting which tile you pressed wrong with a flicker animation in the process, and then restart itself (the same puzzle stays the same โ it doesn't change. If you don't get it, check the last note in Miscellaneous Notes).
Nothing happens if you press an already pressed letter, so you don't have to worry about your fat thumbs or shaking hands โ pressing them won't restart the puzzle.
You need to complete 4 puzzles to finish this generator.

Okay, stay with me now ๐ฅน. This is the only unique case of prankster generators in my proposals. I get that this is my first proposal, but I promise it's simple ๐ญ. Unlike my other puzzle proposals, this one is so straightforward that 99% of players should be able to tell the difference between a real generator and a fake.
The prankster variant of this puzzle would have duplicate letters, skipped letters, and/or letters beyond the letter P (like Q, R, etc.). However, most of the time it would only have duplicate letters so that hasty players get a chance of getting fooled.
In Figure A3, the errors are that there's a duplicate of the letter H, the letter M was skipped, and R is present. These are all 3 possible red flags, and having all three would be rare.
Now this is where it gets tricky. If you don't spot the error and start pressing the letters in order, you won't get the hallucination status effect just yet. You'll only get it once you press a duplicate letter, the letter before a skipped letter, or a letter beyond the letter P. Once you do that, you immediately get Hallucination 3.
Despite it being a terrible idea, players can still fix the fake generator and complete all the puzzles until it mocks them and resets itself. This is just so that if some kid actually falls for it and completes a few puzzles, the generator's green progress bar will show its progress, making it look a tiny bit more believable if you forgot to check for the other signs that it's a fake (sorry, I can't really explain it any better. I hope it made sense though ๐ญ).

This puzzle uses a 3x3 grid. It can be completed by switching all the lights on. Pressing any light toggles it and the adjacent lights.
If a light is on, the tile will have a hollow circle in it and a dim yellow background. If the tile is off, it will have a vertical line in it.
You need to complete 5 puzzles to finish this generator.
โ
The prankster variant would change the icons of the tiles.
The error could be making the hollow circle filled, vertical lines turning horizontal, changing the icons into other shapes or icons, and/or switching the circles' and lines' places (this shouldn't be a problem for the colorblind, right? They should be able to see that the background still has color or at least a lighter shade, right?).
โ
In Figure B3, the errors are that the "off tiles" have vertical lines rather than hollow circles, and also the "on tiles" have hollow squares instead of vertical lines.

This puzzle uses a 3x3 grid. It can be completed by arranging the numbered and pictured tiles in the correct order. You press a tile to slide it into the empty space.
If the tile is on the incorrect spot, the tile will be grayed out. However, if the tile is in the correct position, the tile will be colored violet with a dim violet background.
When you open up the generator, the puzzle's empty space location is random. However, the image itself will always have the bottom-right corner missing.
You need to complete 3 puzzles to finish this generator.
โ
The prankster variant would have the numbers in the wrong order relative to the image, numbers higher than 8, skipped or repeated numbers, numbers switched with letters, and/or โ most commonly โ a tile's image being altered by flipping, rotation, or replacement with a different image.
I believe that if this were implemented, players would rely on the numbers over the tiled images. Therefore, I suggest the most common error would be an altered tile image. Next would be switched numbers, and rarely would it have duplicate numbers or letter switches (for example, 8 replaced with B or 6 replaced with G).
In Figure C3, the errors are that it's missing number 3, there are duplicates of number 7, there's a number 9, and the image on tile number 4 is rotated. Also, notice how the placement of the supposed 7th tile has a 7 on it, but it isn't colored? That's on purpose because that tile isn't actually the real 7th tile.

This puzzle uses a 5x5 grid. It can be completed by finding the 3 odd icons among all the others and selecting them. When you press a tile, the icon becomes selected, making the icon turn white and giving it a dim red background. All icons have a random rotation to challenge the player.
Pressing an incorrect tile does nothing, so you don't have to worry about misclicking and triggering a cooldown, unlike the Alphabet Order puzzle. Also, you can select more than 3 tiles, but the puzzle will only be solved when you have all 3 odd tiles selected at the same time.
You need to complete 5 puzzles to finish this generator.
โ
One possible error of this prankster variant would be to have another set of 3 odd images. You can click on either odd trio to fix the fake puzzle, but this still requires you to press the same 3 odd images. After that, you know what happens.
Another possible error is that it can generate more than 3 odd images. If there are more than 3, pressing any 3 of them will be enough to fix the fake puzzle. But of course, after that, you know what happens again.
These two error types can show up together, though it's uncommon.
In Figure D3, the error is that there are two sets of 3 odd images. The first odd set is that 3 gingerbread men are faceless. I don't blame you if you thought that was the only set and thought the generator was real, because the other set is pretty subtle unless you were expecting it. If you haven't seen it yet, the second odd trio is that some gingerbread men have a sad face instead of a happy face like the rest.

This puzzle uses a 6x6 grid. It can be completed by finding the matching sets of 4 icons and selecting them. When you press an icon, it becomes selected, turning the icon into white and giving it a dim blue background. There are 9 sets of 4 matching icons.
Pressing a non-matching icon will pause the puzzle for 1 second, playing a fail sound effect while highlighting the wrong tile with a flicker animation in the process, before letting you resume.
Once you match a quartet, the quartet gets grayed out and is no longer selectable. So if you accidentally click on it while a different icon is already selected, it won't pause the puzzle, but it will play an error sound effect (how merciful of me!).
You need to complete 3 puzzles to finish this generator.
โ
The prankster variant will alter some icons slightly by flipping it, rotating it, or giving it a small different change.
In Figure E3, the errors are the fact that one book is upside down, one baby is flipped horizontally, one flower is rotated 90 degrees, one rabbit has a dot for its eye, and one mask has a frown face.
(Just as I mentioned before, I want to reiterate that the images I made are just so you can get a better picture of what I'm proposing. Just because the image has a bunch of alterations doesn't mean a fake generator will always have that many.)

This puzzle uses a 4x4 grid. It can be completed by filling the grid so that each letter appears exactly once in every row, every column, and every smaller 2x2 subgrid.
You use the given letters as clues to figure out where the remaining letters belong, making sure no letter repeats in the same row, column, or subgrid. (If you don't get it, go watch a tutorial โ LOL!! I promise, it's very simple!)
To add a letter, just press an empty cell. It will start with the letter A. Press it again to change to B, then C, then D, then back to A. The letters are colored (A = ๐ฅ, B = ๐จ, C = ๐ฉ, D = ๐ฆ) to help you keep track of what you added.
The puzzles already have half of the grid complete, so it won't take too much time. These pre-filled letters are white and have dim colored backgrounds (A = ๐ฅ, B = ๐จ, C = ๐ฉ, D = ๐ฆ).
The puzzle won't give you any confirmation if your answer is correct. It will only be solved once you input all the correct numbers.
You need to complete 3 puzzles to finish this generator.
โ
The prankster variant will alter the letters, replacing them with a different letter, number, or symbol (for example, A โจ 4, B โจ &, C โจ โฌ, or D โจ G).
I believe it should be mentioned right now that this puzzle, whether real or fake, will use images rather than actual text so that changing the font doesn't give any advantage, or in case we get slightly altered images of letters that do not have an actual Unicode symbol (no idea if I'm using the term correctly โ let me know ๐ฅน).
In Figure F3, the error is that the pre-filled letters are missing the letter A's because it got replaced by the number 4's. Also, I want to note that it doesn't have to necessarily make both letters have the error โ one letter A being replaced by the number 4 should be good enough.

After posting this lengthy yappathon and getting convinced to nerf or buff some things or rework some ideas, here are some changes I would make:
[Banana]
Like dude nobody fucking likes it.
As i keep seeing people post more about gameplays, game features, memes, and some other. I haven't seen a person talk about their favorite character, or maybe i just haven't seen the posts coincidentally. And yes im in love with Elliot.
They nerf charge's dmg to 5 dmg, thus cannot kill coolkid's minions, they're finally free!!!! No more abuse from guest mains
To those who do indeed actually hate the game for valid reasons other than โdevs badโ and โcommunity badโ and have played for more than 5 seconds, I respect you
Emesis blue spoilers:
>!This outro recreates the scene where Scout (Jeremy) looks to where a whistling noise is coming from only to see his mothers severed head peaking out before dropping. He then gets kidnapped by the Butcher afterwards. Later in the film, its revealed that Medic (Ludwig) killed Scout's mom himself, not the Butcher. In Forsaken Two Time has a Ludwig skin and you can put two and two together. !<
