Decorating The Game

Boss Boss
in Feedback and Suggestions

Not my original idea at all, i even think i made this suggestion before, but a discussion on here reminded me of it again, so i figured it's about time to put this up again as a suggestion.

Charms are...a thing, but besides having trinkets on your hip & Hooks, it'd be great to go a giant step further.

Just like how you can change a character's appearance with cosmetics, now the same would go for all kinds of stuff in the game.

Survivors can (for example) change...

  • Generators
  • Exit Gates
  • Exit Gate Switches
  • Chests

Killers can (for example) change...

  • Hooks (Questionable, they have the Realm-related thing going on.)
  • The Basement
  • Lockers
  • Pallets
  • Totems

Pallets especially can look quite out of place on maps like Yamaoka Estate.

And while it has to keep being a wooden board (to not have to change the sounds, and to also not get questionable hitboxes), that still leaves room for visual changes.


EDIT: Thanks to @SurpriseSurprise , this suggestion is now that these appearances would be 100% personal, as in that others can't see them.

This is to avoid things like making Pallets less recognizable, making interactions more visible to others than they should be (namely Totems & Chests), and to avoid the issue of which Survivor gets to pick which interactable(s).

    Presumably only visible to yourself?

    Didn't decide on a yes or no actually.

    Maybe explaining why you ask can help me make that decision.

    Killer is easy to have their option shown to everyone in the match, their choice is the only option. (But don't do Totems. You're going to have Pay 2 Win complaints if any of them are less visible than the normal Totems).

    With Survivors, you now have 4 different Survivors each having their own Chest/Gate/Gen choices. Whose is chosen?

    Yeah, thanks for these points.

    With your helpful comment in mind, Hooks WILL be included, and then the option to not change them at all will make them be Realm-related.

    Then, your suggestion of it being personal looks definitely comes into play, ESPECIALLY for those fragile Totems.


    I would still like for this to be a thing, the looks wouldn't have to be extreme, just a refreshing change from the stale look of old interactables.

    Making it personal would also change the issue the devs state of "objects like Pallets being less recognizable for the less experienced players", as they would only have themselves to thank if they indeed didn't recognize the look that they equipped.


    Again, many thanks, i didn't think of this at all. (Though that's how most of my suggestions go on here. 😜)

    Thought this was going to be about The Game map, and my mind immediately went to having holiday lights adorning all of The Pig's RBTs.
