I'm slaving myself to my own expectations. Damn this sub editor is time consuming.

I'm thinking about implementing to my sub AI the faculty to handicap the players in many ways based on a "stress" level which will be determined by the state of the sub.

To calm this "stress" level, I'm thinking of a mini-game to replace base wiring gameplay since there's to much wire on this sub. This mini-game will be about wiring junction boxes to one another in specific ways before a timer runs out and increase the stress level which could in the end result on deadly outcomes.

This should take 300 to 1500 items to achieve depending on its complexity and my sub has already crossed the 4200 items despite the non-ending optimizations through the logics.

I'll also need to review directions and indications around the sub to make it understandable as possible despite all the fictional features that does not make sens if not in term of gameplay.

I'm currently practicing using chat-gpt to deliver the best results, but we're still far from an understanding AI. It needs so many manual inputs to achieve something that you can work with to then manually redo the whole thing while alternating with manual adjustments.

Then there're so many things that I've weirdly implemented on my sub thousands of in-game hours ago that I need to rework from scratch...

And once all that is done, and if the sub can still take in a few thousand items. Then maybe adding to the AI to react based on your progression/situation throughout the campaign.
But the problem would be that based on what info am I suppose to build this vanilla?
If not for the current depth and position on the map I don't see others alternatives yet, but this is already something that I can work on. Add to that all the sensors already equipped to my sub then it could be achievable in some ways to get something that just works.


Well, I think you guessed it, this is not healthy.


I'll put the submarine in question here, though I won't update this version until the next one is ready to be released separately.
