[@aqn8756]

Something you could try for more LC fun is mods. There is a new mod for skinwalkers. It grabs sound bites of your voice and plays it back. Unfortunately it isn’t an enemy but more of a modifier that an enemy can get but it’s still a cool mod. IMO mods are the thing making this game a staying game.

[@TheNicokapo]

WELL... To be honest, Lethal Company does need new mechanics. You have the radiation signal which works for nothing besides signalling 'your friend did an oopsie and pulled the big battery'. Could go for the slowly killing the player or reducing it's health. Needs more enemies: would love to see a Mimic enemy who can copy your voice (which already HAS a mod allowing enemies to do so). You could make player corpses go rogue in the facility after the Flea Snare (I think that was the name of the facehugger roach?), just to grab you and keep you rooted for a few seconds. A loot monster which can go inside the ship and feast on objects to make players think if storing objects is worth. Loot related, I beg to differ the idea of fusing loot for more profitable objects. But could certainly do so for new tools or enchance equipment. New weathers: Snow. You can't run outside of the facility but also makes most of the mobs to hibernate. Giants, Spiders, Dogs, Hoarder Bugs (the idea here is that lil ghost girl, Bracken and coilheads are the main threat and will definitely spawn sooner). New maps? Easier said than done, but could use a lab to explain some lore about the Bracken. There IS lore in Lethal Company after all (Sigurd may not be the only one keeping diaries)

[@LAHFaust]

My biggest concern for the Dev is if he can make the changes he wants before the hype dies out. Games like this either last forever (Among Us) or vanish in a month (Battlebit Remastered).

[@CriticalNobody]

One thing that wasn’t mentioned: LC has tons of potential staying power because of how easy it is to mod. Drag a single file into a folder and you have increased player limits, new skins, new mechanics, altered variables with different enemies and maps certainly to come. Much like L4D, the community can do a lot of heavy lifting

[@Granox]

Idk though, ease of modding is good don’t get me wrong, but the base game generally has to be a MASSIVE hit for the mod scene to really grow to a size it props up the game indefinitely.

The most enjoyable thing to me in this game is the More Company mod, so we normally have 8-10 player lobbies, and then using the inverse teleport for half of us, and the other half have to find us. Nothing beats the fear of not knowing where you are in a pitch black mansion being followed by 2 coilheads, a jester is active, and a bracken just got your friend

[@arthurbaldry8443]

My group also uses the inverse teleporter and the relief you have when you spawn in and hear someone else respond to you is indescribable. The inverse is also true when you don’t get any response and the dread just fully sets in.

[@danjames8314]

my friend group had an "inverse teleporter incident" where one guy went in, immediately found the apparatus, pulled it, and proceeded to have 5 enemies hunt his ass including a coilhead that wasn't working right, i died quickly because i fell in a pit and watched as he tried to navigate the pitch black, juking thumpers and spiders screaming obscenities at them the whole way before a thumper on enough crack to gain enough speed to probably break the sound barrier flew at him and dealt the final blow.

I cannot stress how much I love the sound design in this game, not just for the Proximity Voice chat, but all the ambient noise and non-ambient noise the game employs. From the creaking of the pipes, to the sound of footsteps, the sound design is top notch.

[@sanddry738]

The dev has added so many details. The way someone’s voice gets muffled if they’re underwater or getting strangled. Hell the portable ladder can kill players and there’s a sound effect that the dev added. Also the OST is weirdly… fire?!? Boombox songs and ice cream delivery are becoming iconic

[@notandum]

agreed on most of the enemy critiques minus jester jester serves as a skill check for careless groups going in deep without giving much mind to where they're going and where they've been the jesters weakness is it's greatest strength, and it greatly increases tension as once it's starts following you that mental timer of "i need to get what i can and bail asap" starts and the winding down further emphasizes it, i personally find it a great "gtfo now" enemy design - keeps you on your toes and with planning can be countered easily (you can shut it down entirely by locking it behind sealed doors) but if you don't have a plan or you weren't paying attention to where you were going you can only pray giants 100% need a nerf / counter though they're way too strong with way too little in counterplay which is agreed on by everyone additionally (at least with those two bracken clips) the cause of death there was that while you glanced at it, you're teammate(s) did as well however at different intervals - which still builds up the anger meter as it's universal not per-person

[@7fatrats]

100%. Jesters make you leave the facilty for a fairly short period of time after they come out too, so they wre only a skill check in wether you remember the way back to the ship or not. If youre inexperienced and do not constantly look for places to trap it/ remember where you came from, that is your fault.

[@sanddry738]

Yeah Jesters also put a huge pressure on the team if they’re deep in a facility. Really tests how well your memory is with the layout. Plus they’re brilliantly horrifying and such a unique concept

[@jeffnorsegod8080]

I agree on everything except the point about giants. I would rather take giants over eyeless dogs all day, every day. For the most part you can just crouch walk around giants and within 20-30 yards of your destination (be it ship or door) just make a dead sprint there. Which is pretty similar to the dogs, except those can follow you into the ship and will remorselessly dunk on mechanical keyboard users and ship operators. In my experience and those of the two groups I play with (about ten people each), dogs kill far more frequently than giants do.

[@notandum]

@@jeffnorsegod8080 oh for sure, as a base they function fine, there just needs to be a more consistent counterplay staying quiet against dogs solo, while moving smart = 90-95% chance of surviving crouching from cover to cover solo against a giant = 50% chance of surviving depending on if the game decides the giant suddenly got eagle vision, and if you do make it well that's the moon because now it won't move from the ship ever again the two most common suggestions ive seen are making the giants detection reliant on movement (standing still = much less chance of being seen from distance) or have certain items when dropped distract it (given the bestiary entry)

[@Avengedtenfold]

I would like Jesters a lot more if there was a timer on when it could spawn. It can find you at the very start of the mansion before you've had time to figure out if there is a place you could trap it. Those situations still feel unfair, especially considering some other interactions like other monsters opening the door for it later in the run.

[@EGGM4N]

tbh I'm surprised at how good the dev executed coil head, it's an overdone gimmick but they still made it interesting, by design alone it already is and it's a smart way to indicate that it's there, and the fact it's not entirely instantaneous movement is also fun so there's a brief moment where you can theoretically react to it but most of the time, your senses move faster than your realisation. I like coilhead.

[@butterlove1605]

I think the best part about the Coil Head is that I never realized how much more terrifying this type of enemy could be by the simple fact of just being able to hear their footsteps, and then having their big springy head shake due them stopping instantly after running at immense speeds. That alone adds so much and makes it stand out so creatively, to what is otherwise something we've seen alot before.

[@underscore_5450]

I really love the sound it makes when it comes to a stop and the fact that you can hear it running up behind you before it explodes your head. It's such an instantly iconic design that really fits that vibe of the game.

It's not that, the Bracken likes to play a deadly Hide-and-Seek game with you. You can look at it for some time and it will usually run, however, if it has no place to run and you keep looking at it (some say 3 seconds is enough, others, 5), it will get angry and run to snap the neck of the one who broke the rules.

[@chazo1367]

@@danielm.595 It's also not per person, it's group timing.

Maybe even make enemy corpses carryable as loot so you can promote yourself from a scrap salvage team to an exterminator squad and go Bracken hunting.

Frankly, the Jack-in-the-Box should be a walking indiscriminate apocalypse within the facility/mansion. Make it easy to manage by introducing a mechanic where it becomes triggered when too much noise is produced, have the trigger-entity marked for initial death and then have Jack wander the facility killing anything that is too loud. Players already have sneaking mechanic so that's covered, but also have other monsters freak out when Jack is active by (for example) Coil-Heads not daring to move during Jack's tantrum - throwing some steam off players - but have some animal-intelligence monsters (thumpers, scavenger bugs, etc.) be near-guaranteed kills due to continuing to move. And for players, they have to sneak for the remainder of Jack's tantrum, but if Jack is in the same room/has player in its sight, player should cease all movement to be spared or to "honor" it.

To explain a bit more about the Braken and how to work around him. The three stages it has revolves around how much fun it’s having. It can easily murder your entire team instantly but it doesn’t because according to the dev’s that would be no fun. So it sneaks around and kills you when your back is turned because that is just more fun. This is considered its HUNT phase. Whenever someone looks at it, it backs off because now it can no longer sneak up and kill you like it wants, so it will enter its FLEE phase and try again at a different angle. But if you decide to follow it/stare at it for too long. It will get angry because you’re not giving it an opportunity to play it’s game. This causes the Braken to enter its MURDER phase, where it drop its little game and just kills you outright because you’ve ruined its fun. It can also enter its MURDER phase if you back it into a corner, because how can it have its fun if it’s trapped? So the best way to survive the Braken, is to constantly be aware of your surroundings and to NEVER pursue it. Do those two things and you’ll be fine.

It is incredible timing for Bricky to release a video about a game and mention wanting more content on the DAY that same game releases more content.

[@Zaftikins]

Hey Bricky! If you’re curious about the Bracken, here’s how it works. Props to Miraheze. The Bracken has an internal anger meter. The meter has a chance to trigger anger mode once every 1 anger added. Otherwise, the anger meter can be increased by the stun grenade (set to 6 anger, does not add anger, so it will not cause an immediate check), being within 5m of it in evade mode (+.2 anger per .2 seconds), hitting it with a weapon (set to 11 anger, .1 anger added to meter resulting in an immediate anger phase), and staring. For the first 1.25 seconds after entering in evade mode, staring at a Bracken will add anger continuously at 1.5 anger/second. Cumulatively, this adds up to 1.825 anger. Additionally, the Bracken will gain .2 anger every .2 seconds when stared at or while within 5 meters of its location. Every 1 cumulative anger added (not set) results in a randomized check for anger mode, with a 0% chance of angering at 0 anger and a 100% chance of angering at 11 anger. Formula: random(0, .99) < anger * .09. Upon being angered, a Bracken will immediately begin chasing the nearest player as the anger meter slowly ticks down at a rate of 1 anger/second. Once it hits 0, the Bracken will return to evade mode.

Lethal company players, picking up there children from school, when they hear another kid winding a jack in the box: 💀

[@amg4436]

Started playing this not too long ago, was the noob of a team and we were doing a mansion run- A bracken was hunting myself and a mate, and I turned around just as a spider tore him down. Leaving me to sprint out into the dark, hoping to not die. Tentatively, I creeped back to the spot he fell- retrieving the cash register he gave his life to collect. After which, I stumbled and struggled my way through the dark- warding off a bracken just in time and feeling a wave of relief as I exited the mansion. Only, to be sent careening 20 feet into the air- I dropped an engine outside the front door, and wasn't aware it'd be struck by lightning. So just as I escaped, I went nyooming- to the chorus of my teammates laughing as they died the same way. 10/10. Fucking hilarious game.

Just something to note: Thummpers can be killed fairly easily without going on a railing - it doesn't feel needed to me and if you are caught of a railing spamming shovel hits at it whilst it's killing you when on full health should let you live if you manage to dodge even one single hit When you first see the thumper it will not rush - it will slowly walk towards you it only really rushes when you try to run away or a certain amount of time has passed Meaning to easily kill it simply rush it the second you see it and hit is whilst tapping the sprint button / back key to ensure you aren't taking any hits The same concept is true with spiders however they're fair more gimmicky and hitboxes are too weird for this to be done consistently (especially if you have ear in your inv casusing weiht to be added First time I killed a thumper in this game was without a railing simply because I didn't know about it :D For the gaint - go on top of your ship and kite it so your teammates can go inside somewhat safely Still isn't a guaranteed safety for your team but if you're kiting well you will be fine going around the antenna of the ship You CAN kill dogs - it's just extremely hard to do If you dodge the dogs first lunge and hit its arse it tends to repeat the lunge animation into the wall and you can keep spam hitting it (12 times) to kill it alternatively and my personal favourite Bait the dog into a lunge with a key or something metal during a storm Dogs can die to lightening and you can kill them with it with keys somewhat consistently On some maps you can lock the jester in a room assuming you have a teleporter and some co ordination with your ship captain Go onto a pipe if there is one and the jester cannot kill you so baiting it into a trap is a little easier then other monsters if you have good RNG

Dude the guy who made It Steals and that hotel horror comedy game??? Actually such a talented guy. Always crazy unique ideas

[@thejoe9175]

"I know its a bit shorter" I mean i like this one, a lot more consumable in one sitting.

[@hmasterchaos8700]

The thing with the Bracken is that it doesn't discriminate. What I mean is it takes it a shorter time to go in kill mode if multiple people look at it and when it goes into kill mode it doesn't go for the person who pissed it off but just go for the closest person, so for some of those clips you can blame your friends who both were continuing to look at it 16:32

[@Ragnarokflare1]

Really hope the creator does indeed add a lot more, and not only that make enemies specific to certain moons instead of sharing them through them all. I've seen some interesting suggestions like, changing the giants to be slower but also have beam lights for eyes so that you can see what they are seeing is interesting. I also would love to see the different bioms hosting different enemies from each other, like how the sand worm is specific to the desert worlds.

[@joshuahendershot196]

As others have no doubt pointed out Zeekerss plans to add more content to the game, Lethal Company is currently in early access so it's hard to really judge it too harshly though I'm sure they're taking any and all criticism into consideration for future updates, this definitely seems like a passion project from Zeekerss and I can't wait to see what they add over the course of this games lifetime

I think Braken has an anger meter that rises each time you look at him and it never goes down, the more you glance at him to make him back up the less likely its going to work next time.

The bracken is time spent looking at it, the more people who look at it multiplies it by per person so if all for people look at it for one second its becomes 4 seconds spent looking at the bracken.

I'm glad somebody finally said it. Not every co-op/multiplayer game needs the staying power of months and months. Sometimes, a game can just be that. A game. That you enjoy with friends and strangers for a few weeks, and then move on to clear your backlog. Simple good old fashioned fun.

Crafting would be epic, imagine finding a bolt, sheet of metal, large axel and v-type engine, and putting them all together to make a Drive Train or some shit

[@destroyer693]

Throwing my "Idea Guy" out there. I would like it if you could buy personal upgrades to your suits. Like say spend 400 buckaroos and get either 1 or 2 more slots to hold items as an "extra pouch". Have other upgrades too such as sprint enhancers, stimpaks for health, and maybe even an extra battery that you can buy and hold. I'd make it where if you DIE these things disappear. So it's high-risk high-reward. With spray paint, walkie, and flash light you're already 3/4 slots. Even with just walkie and flashlight you're down to 2 items being able to be carried. Which ends up more often than not having it where everyone runs in with a flash light and no walkies, which cuts out the ship aspect of the game. Having even just 5 slots is a huge difference, lets you bring both flash light and walkie while still having 3 slots for loot.

[@HiImMach]

Zeekerss also made The Upturned, which I highly recommend. It's singleplayer and has a similar comedic horror blend to Lethal Company.

I like an idea of quota thresholds that like...say you get to 1000, you get a slightly larger ship, which can store more loot, has more lockers, can fly further to higher tier moons, stuff like that.

I have a friend I've started playing with and they are a mouth breather, so nothing is worse than using your friend as a beacon to find them when splitting up, then it just stops. The breathing stops. Leaving you in complete silence.

With your final comment, I don't know if it was something intentional by the developer, but the fact that such a conclusion can be drawn from the game is quite possibly more important. That we can look at this work and see a parallel to our world, and thus build commentary off of it, is vital to opening people's eyes to the woes of the world. It can also be a wake-up call to a lot of game developers as of now. They already had multiple over the past year, especially with Baldur's Gate 3. But that was still on a similar tier to their games, so their response was "Yeah, it's great, don't expect us to always do the same. This is an anomaly." But then a small indie game, made by one guy, is doing better in the eyes of gamers while costing a fraction of what AAA studios want you to believe games are worth. While yes, we sometimes to have to accept that a game costs a lot due to development time and tools, the fact that AAA studios are pushing for higher prices while failing to give the players a game worth as much as they say it should needs to be something we stand against, and the best way to do it is to buy fewer of these AAA games and focus on smaller companies and individual devs. Games like Lethal Company need to be celebrated for what they do, and how successfully they do it. The guy making the game has even stated he wants to add in more monsters, more moons, and more tools for the players, not to mention that modders have already gotten their hands on the game and created new ways to play. Think the Bracken is scary now? Imagine how scary it is when it's mimicking your friends through the facility, drawing you to your death. With how MW3 is with it's campaign and the death spiral of CoD, and how other AAA studios seem more interested in getting a quick profit before ignoring their game and their fanbase, we as a whole need to step up and let these devs know that this is ridiculous, they can't keep half-assing everything and expecting the world to continue to worship them. I actively tell other people I play games with to avoid CoD in general, since the games haven't really improved as of late. Total War has been having problems as prices go up while there isn't as much content being given to us with each new game or DLC. All it will take is convincing people to stop taking whatever is thrown at us, no matter what, and instead to be critical but fair of new products. If it's worth $60, we'll see that early on. Some people will have to buy the product to properly gauge the value, but we can't keep buying products en masse and then complaining when the devs don't listen to players and keep pushing out crap games. If they sell millions of copies, regardless of quality, then there is nothing to stop the people at the top of these companies from pushing more games out, regardless of quality. I know I went on a bit of a rant, but this needs to be said, again and again. The more that we ignore the issues plaguing the game development sphere, we'll see devs continue to drop the quality of their games, while jacking up prices for that quick buck, rather than making a game which can be loved and enjoyed for years to come.

i think the best complaint a game could possibly have is "there is not enough, I just want more" because it means it's good and players litterally cannot get enough to it.

The modding community is insane with this game. My friends and I played Brutal Company, where there's a modifier every moon and more enemies. We also used an inverse teleporter to teleport all of us into a random room. I teleported with one of my friends, and the other two friends teleported together elsewhere. My friend and I were surrounded by five coil-heads. My friend had three right in front of him. We were quiet and motionless, frozen in fear. He told me, "[Name], make a run for it. Go on without me." I ran and I died to an unseen threat in the next room. My friend died soon after. Then on spectator cam, we see our other two friends in a room, both exits locked, shimmying in front of a cozy fireplace while one of them played club music on their mic. We were so mad; we thought they were already dead😂

You know what true terror is? it's not the monsters chasing you. It's the eerie quietness of the surroundings when it's already nearing nighttime and you can't hear your teammates around while inside the building. Multitude of questions would pop out in your mind like "Where the hell are they?" "Are they dead?" "Is there a monster around?" "It's night, a giant may appear, and I saw dogs outside." and of course the "Those bastards are laughing at me right now." As you begin to feel paranoid. Worse is if the last thing you've heard from one of your crewmate is "I see the kid."
