Will also the enemies need sleep and coffee? :D Or are they tireless 24/7 pushing machines? :O

2023-03-22 02:59:01 +0000 UTCIt's interesting to see how you intend to add this notion of fatigue in the game. I'm not too familiar with this kind of mechanics so if it's not too penalizing I find it cool

2023-03-21 21:50:21 +0000 UTCMeeting me on every level here man that's fantastic, because yes sleep should have its own penalties but it can also distract from the actual gameplay of the game if you have to sleep every day or follow some sort of strict routine. It works in some games where there isn't as much going on like pure survival experiences totally, but i get the feel that RtV will be a shooter first (especially with your focus on AI related stuff!!) But i'm also very much looking forward to building a coffee empire to sustain days long journeys into the vostok side >:) Thank you Antti, and great assets for both of these items today! :D

2023-03-21 17:40:02 +0000 UTCI think sleeping is one of those parameters that should not be totally realistic in a survival game because it will easily turn into annoying task if you have to sleep constantly and it will distract the fun (for example doing night raids). I will mostly likely adjust that value to direction where you can stay up like couple of days and there is only minor problems that will come from that. Sleep deprevation will activate a medical condition called Insomnia and when it's minor there's only things like small stamina deductions etc. Caffeine based products will cure that insomnia and gain you that stamina loss back but if you let that Insomnia condition to turn major then you can't cure that with caffeine and have some real issues and it will activate other conditions like minor Pain, minor Delirium etc. You can definitely pump that caffeine intake and get rid off those minor Insomnia conditions etc. and get that extra stamina for short period of time but it will not return that sleep value back to full 100% so it's only a momentarily fix. But these things will require some balancing and testing once they are in the game, but in anycase fun comes first before realism when it comes to sleeping.
