Is there still a "downed state" on the cards, perhaps to be used with body dragging?asked by sladuog

TL;DRA downed state is definitely planned, including body dragging, revival, unconsciousness and being bound by bounty hunters, with health gameplay work possibly starting towards the start of next year, though priorities may change.

Yes, absolutely. So there's more than one sort of downed state. There's obviously the traditional: your health is zero and you're down, waiting to be revived. So body dragging is definitely going to be used for that. There's a whole slew of health gameplay and even Death of a Spaceman stuff coming in. And in terms of health stuff, we're thinking that I'll be working on that towards the start of next year. Obviously, that's a massive caveat. Priorities will change, but yes, that is absolutely coming, and it's a big part of our plans. There are also going to be other sorts of downed states in terms of being unconscious. We have that already with unarmed combat. But there's also the bounty hunting side. So if you're tied and bound by a bounty hunter, that's going to feed into that same sort of system. So yes, absolutely, we're definitely planning that. It's going to be a big part of gameplay: you dragging people around into cover and healing them, or hauling them up to your ambulance and then getting them on a med bed. Lots to come for that.
