Killer ideas - The Collection ....not sure if this is the best place for devs to see this.
I'm sure devs don't need much help in this department as they generally produce enough content to make this thing tick, however as a horror genre fan I cant help but think of different killers and ways they would be playable. lately I keep thinking about the movies The Collector, and the Collection and I can't help but think the antagonist in that movie franchise belongs in this game. his physical profile is similar to Legion and Freddy.
In the movie he uses traps, snares, and mind games which seem like a good fit for the game. he has a strong desire to collect 1 specific person which fits well into the obsession mechanic of dbd, he could easily have a perk for obsession play. lastly(probably not but for now) he has a solid protagonist(Arkin played by Josh Stewart) that is solid nemesis/victim that fits just about as good as Lorie Strode and Michael, i.e the pairing survivor. he is in both movies, has a great sense of fear to escape the killer, yet is always altruistic, in some cases to much so which fits really well.
With most releases there is a map, well in this case there are 2 solid candidates, from the first movie the big house and property. its multi level with outside property similar to many maps already in play, and from movie two there is the giant warehouse the collector uses for his fun and games. as we know these types of maps make for solid levels. and in that particular warehouse there are some pretty cool and iconic rooms like the basement with the freaks, or the room with glass tanks that have people sewn into insect formations.
Lastly I think about what his mori. I think it would be cool to have chests laying around the map (in the movie he has 1 chest to put his victim in to collect) he could drag bop the survivor on the head, or snare them and drag them or something of the like and stuff them in the chest and slam it closed.......
thoughts?
