Talk:Project Storm

This is the main brainstorming page for Project Storm! This page is meant to be a lot messier than the regular page, so no worries about having good technical writing or anything like that.

Possible title names

• I'll Find You in the Morning Sun
• The Morning Sun
• Find the Morning Sun
• Morning Dust (homage to Exhaling Dust :] )

holy shit morning == mourning GUYS NEW METAPHOR

Mechanic ideas

Storm

• Faster wind increases likelihood of rover toppling over (dust devils)
• Dust clouds that cause damage and cover the rover with dusts
• Lightning strikes that can cause total system failure

Battery

After the storm sets, the rover runs on a limited battery supply (so battery would only be a problem in Act 2). Different types of movements could reduce the battery further (such as going uphill).
