Re: a quick suggestion

Those be some very pretty hands ;)

I too feel that, when you get killed by 173, his hands are just out, like "Hee hee, I snapped your neck." I'd like some death animations as well.B1gB4ddy wrote:Wow, that was quick...
anyway, another suggestions:
to me, the game feels a little bit "Floaty". It's not the movement or anything, it's more the lack of SCP contact. I don't really feel like my neck is getting snapped by SCP-173 when he gets me, or that the grey man is dragging me to his pocket dimension against my will (My character is more like "alright, I'll go I guess..."), not that there is a lot wrong with that, but I expect the world of SCP to be a bit more "visceral".
For example, when SCP-173 snaps the player's neck, the player should stop walking in whatever direction he is going in for a split second, then his head should jerk violently towards SCP-173's face before the player falls to the ground and dies. With the Grey Man, the player should try to put up a pointless struggle when getting dragged into the dimension (IE: getting knocked to the ground, trying to crawl away, but then getting dragged anyway). With the Shy Guy, the player should get grabbed, turned towards Shy Guy (Who will have his face mere inches away from the player's). Shy Guy will then let out a blood-chilling scream and then he will then bite towards the player as the screen fades to black.
These are just small things that I think would make the SCPs a bit more brutal to the player. Let me know if this would be a good idea. I'm no modeller or scripter, but I am a writer after all :3
