Possible future feature switches
These options might get implemented once the core features of the game are there. To allow players to change the game mechanics to their likings a little more.
VIPs block doors
Instead of creating graphical "glitches" the VIP could block a door when he is looking into the room. This was the behaviour in Beta 8.
Consultants can learn new skills
A consultant could for example study by himself in the training room to get proficient in the skills he didn't master before he became a consultant.
Alien Patients to do more
Alien patients are limited to what they can do due to the lack of animations. In TH they would knock on doors, use drinks machines and therefore the loo by changing into a normal looking patient briefly. This was how they were able to visit a GP Office (using the door and sitting in the chair). At the moment we allow Aliens from emergencies only.
We could have a option that also allows them to use a bench, use a door, sit in a chair in the GP office, visit a loo, buy a drink and be sent to the autopsy machine. So long as we accept that there is no correct animation for it. (although that could change in the future if we can get some artists)
I monitor this development as I love the game. I'm also a developer but for C#, I can't stand C++ anymore, and last i'm a gamer - wasting lot of time playing many games, here are my 2 cents: 1. skills system is definiatly one of the best angles of this game. at the present they are: researcher, psychatrist, surgeon. how about altering/adding: Biologist - which can take blood in the blood machine. Radiologist - can operate: decontamination/electrolyser/X-Ray/Scanner/Ultrascan. Inflator/Slicer - should be related to surgeon. GP Office - only non-skilled doctor should be willing to work there. Ward - should be used more - before and after taking blood, after patient healed in some cases. a doctor can not have more than 3 skills, so all you need is 2 icons: biology, radiology. 2. Screen-rotate 90-degrees steps will be good addition to the game. 3. multiple diseases on patients. 4. patients should return to the information desk after visting each room. offcourse many other ideas can enhance the game but I assume these should be easy to implement.
