Kiha Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Hey so I was memeing as a rat one round recently about Skaven overlords and a lot of people popped up showing interest in rat people so meme or not I'm wondering if a rat people antag could be added in that is related to the already existing rat ghost spawn, I mean, Skaven in 40K are pretty fun right? It could add a whole new meaning to 'rats have been breeding in supplies storage, handle this before it affects productivity' announcements if rat build-up could result in rat people appearing. Thoughts? Edited January 20, 2020 by Kiha not copying 40K
Nekonyan123 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Just now, GreenBoi said: no You could argue your opinion instead of just "no"eing. About the topic, I think it could be an interesting gimmick or gamemode, but you should explain better how'd the game mode develop as the round goes on. Maybe you could ask devs for "animal breeding" instead and just do a rat breeding gimmick instead.
AmoryBlaine Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 We aren't going to port a species from another thing, that's lazy.
Sytic Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Seconded with Amory's comment, that just sounds real lazy.
Kiha Posted January 20, 2020 Author Posted January 20, 2020 Editted it to open up talk about rat people as a whole for antag and not limited to Skaven, I didn't mean rip 40K lore, sorry for that misunderstanding. But yeah, the breeding idea is something that sounds reasonable (especially if its already coded in some way), I'm not a coder but I can whip up some concepts for how they would affect a round.
Scheveningen Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I love rats but I don't want anthro-rats as an antag species. Would be kinda lame since we are lacking in the actual "alien alien species" department.
GreenBoi Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I forgot I had to explain why No, because we don't need big rat people, they wouldn't fit and it'd be pretty meme to add them. Also, I don't think we're likely going to get any new species at all for a long while.
Kiha Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 That's fair. I'm not exactly campaigning for it, especially if the majority don't want it.
Zundy Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 We had rat people - tunnel runner dregs. They had a similar speaking habit to skaven and lived filthy lives in maintenance tunnels stealing augments. They technically still exist so feel free to play as one my dude.
