Thanks for all your suggestions guys! I'd like to inform you the game design of S&S2 is pretty much done, and I'm glad to tell you that LOT of stuff you mentioned will be in the game
That doesn't include multiplayer, which is impossible for us to make right now.
Here is a short list of the game features:
- World map of the Neverseen to explore. Main path + other side quests locations.
- Town to build and upgrade. Cool NPC to discover and interact with. (Blacksmith, alchemist, in keeper, other weirdos...)
- More dynamic combat system (real time dodge, block, counter, critical, etc.)
- More interesting enemies: attack patterns, abilities and Epic Boss Fight!
- Deeper Hero customization (Male/Female, More skins, skills, abilities, equipment, stats, etc.)
- Evolution in Training mini game with more features to unlock as you progress, more missions, medals, etc.
- 6 Different weapons class to upgrade/equip/loot individually.
- Unique Armor system to collect and upgrade.
- Awesome art and animations improvement
- Pets to catch and rich ally system, they will help you in fights.
- Secrets hidden in the dark...
- TONS of other stuff we want to add if we have time
Make an option for battles (slow/fast battle), because in sword and souls 1 you get all these crits and resurrection during battle, which makes you waste potions/skills/magic.
- Add a Co-op mode for the arena.
- PVP combat.
- A greater variety in equipment.
- Ability to create investments by building various shops (the same way you upgrade your house) to increase revenue.
- More things to do with your house rather than just upgrading it. (Same goes to the shop idea in the previous point.)
Hey so I have been thinking some more about the story line. I think something cool to look into would be the universe of soul games in general. By that I mean. Why is everybody souls? Are we still on earth? Is it a parallel dimension. Who are we the souls of? are we trapped here, are we trying to pass on, but must finish something on earth first. We interact with insects, animals, scarecrows, and goblins... are these "beings" possessed by other souls? Or is everything a conjuring of the soul's (the soul you are playing as) mind. Some sort of dream state in which these conjured assailants must be battled and defeated before he can move on to the actual afterlife.
Or is this the afterlife? A "soul society" of types - but there is still evil - love - lost children (this could actually be a big part of the story - why are there child souls - and why are they lost- are they the souls of orphans or something darker...) Can they grow up, or are they forever children. Is someone out there seeking to use them for a nefarious purpose?
This could also open up 2 path choices of being good or evil.
The Evil path could allow you to harvest the power of other people's souls be killing and absorbing them or breaking them into shards or essences for potions and enchanting.
The Good path could receive blessings or channeling of power from souls you've spared or rescued (adopted) something like that. or be called upon to assist you in need (posses you with their strength, love, and hope).
It would also be cool in a gameplay sense. Instead of just having magic or enchanting - to have soul abilities so that magic and enchanting are tied to something related to soul power. weapons could be imbued with your spirit to match characteristics of who you are, etc.
maybe ... Dun dun duhn.... you were murdered and your killer took your family, because they don't know he killed you. and you have to manipulate things in the soul world to let them know. Or maybe he's a soul as well now, and you have to find him and exact revenge and set the record straight. IDK so many options lol. But I think you should def expand on the soul dimension of the game. If done well it could be supper cool and unique.
make the prices lower a bit and make spells / potions more lustful also add more spells and potions. also add followers and pets that can aid you in battle like heal a little Hp , do extra damage , make you immune to magic stuff like that . also add more to the shop. no matter what I will still play the game and enjoy it
online with friends make an hertaige weapon which is unique to different classse 9 add more classes like ranger or assians) With different abilaties for each also more raches than human or what the defualt is to like hypbrids between animals or ancint mytholical cratures. thanks for asking us about our opinions i hope you g=add some of these in tho the next game also when will it be realized thanks ofr makeing new and asome games for us to play thanks agian.
