Game Idea: Nightmare Mode

Nightmare mode would be the only way for killers to play with other killers. It would basically be a double-game, maybe with one oversized map for starters.

This would include 2 killers, 8 players, 10 gens to be completed, 2 basements 3 exits and 1 hatch. (Possibly the same amount of hooks but they are now double-hooks)

One killer cannot benefit from the other killer's perks (ex: A killer who has BBQ enabled would not automatically allow the other killer to take advantage of this and now see the survivors after hooking)

One survivor's perks would only be visible to 4 others and not the entire team of 8.

Some gens must start off locked for the first minute or two.

What else would this game mode include? 😊

    While they were developing Nemesis they toyed with an Add-on to include a third zombie, but it hurt game performance so bad they scrapped the idea and changed the Add-on. No doubt they test internally on badass computers too.

    So how in the world could their coding support and run well two killers & all their assets, eight survs, something like 15 gens, three exit gates, and entity knows what else? Lower end PCs and all the consoles would run this mode so badly, and our Switch cousins would prolly watch their machines melt.

  • All hail Spaghetti code!

    What about just 2 killers and a larger map with 1 additional player? The idea is that killers don't get to play with anyone and the ability in any form would be nice.

  • So you want to add more of a mess to the code? Ok sarcasm aside the idea does sound awesome but with the code being how it is right now I can’t see it happening.

    I get the idea, just might have to wait for DBD2 for these modes is all I'm saying.

    I'll admit I am untrained with the coding aspects of this particular game so I do not know the limits. So the coding would have to change more into a battle royale-type of gameplay? What is the reasoning for not being able to have code altered for a separate game mode?
