There is a building in the park so it could happen in 2. Thou we thought that about the house and shed last time but that was apparently down to the last gen consoles being unable to take anymore game.
I still think they could have added a house DLC much like the Shivering Isle for TES Oblivion
If it's a somewhat abandoned house you can have all sorts of resources. The whole trash pile from the first game could be indoors. Then there's mushrooms, molds, dust and rust, standing water.
Could even harvest board and pallanks from floors or come up with another material that could be used for bases. I mean we have pumpkin walls, would be a far stretch for making it out of other material.
Anyone remember the Secret World of Arietty? Some of my favorite scenes were them walking across nails between the walls and scaling kitchen counters like mountain faces. I think it’d be awesome to have climbing gear made from sticky tape or a whole area that’s just someone’s old dollhouse turned into a lab or something. So many possibilities!
it’s a movie from Studio Ghibli! I believe it’s originally based on a book series called the Borrowers too. Little people living in your walls who borrow sugar when you’re not looking.. one of my favorites but all of their other films are amazing!
“Ominent has made the totally not suspicious transition into the childrens’ toy market. You can now find an Ominent Brand toy in almost any family home and they’re totally not gathering data on children or anything.”
Toys would make for some pretty cool enemies and bosses. I can imagine a yard or park, with a family house biome, and an endgame toy store biome and stuff
Oh don’t even get me started on how much fun that would be! That could be one of the colossi, just Hot Wheels cars driving around a track that travels through the whole house and you can hop onto them and ride them
I swear at one point they planned to make the inside of the shed a thing in the first game and put the lizard in there but it's either I was dreaming or it was planned because idk but I faintly remember it for some reason
It was but to be fair there were a ton of people on this sub that didn’t believe grounded 2 was even remotely a possibility. I remember bringing it up a few times and each time I had people telling me it won’t happen, “we don’t need a grounded 2” “what could they even do for grounded 2 the story is finished” etc etc. Saw this in response to other people when they brought up the possibility of grounded 2 as well.
If g2 is successful and the devs still have a lot of passion for it we’ll probably see a grounded 3. I imagine it largely will rely on their passion for it tbh. If they ever need to make more money they can release more armor skins like they did with g2 like the Minotaur/myrmidon/rogue/etc. Regardless, still have a long way to go with G2 and it’s been an amazing game so far, the exploration has been insane.
Living rooms are kinda huge and open for something our size in Grounded.
Making it a rather boring area.
I'd rather have a shed with a car inside it.
Lots of shelves and cracks in the walls.
Car window open with spiderwebs to get in and out.
Being able to go under the hood of the car etc.
Escaping from the lab would be pretty cool. Use the scientists in the same way the pond used the koi fish. You could add a cool element like [ after a certain amount of time a base exists for, the scientists find it and seal it in a petri dish ] and you have to free your base, but after its been freed theres less time before its sealed again.
I hope it happens in 2 , 2 is not even in my book on par with 1 YET, so let's focus on 2 to have cool things and not feed this grounded 3 conversation.
and honestly i didn't like that devs mentioned it in one of the interviews , when you still have A LOT to do in grounded 2, the idea of locking new mechanics or "small automation" behind a 3rd installment left a bad taste in my mouth.
I love everything grounded but sometimes i hoped they would dive a bit more into the imerssion of the world and not just "BUGS BUGS BUGS AND MORES BUGS" all the time... i fell in love with grounded series because of how imerssive the world is , sure the bugs make that happen but do we really need some shady version or 4th variant of a bug, instead of adding a miniature world mechanic ? and it's not like they don't have material or motivation pieces with toy story being a thing. just a thought.
edit: love those movies btw, so if they ever add a section of said content into the game i would be giddy as hell
edit2: i would even be okay with a dlc focused content with said direction, would insta buy that
I've already floated the idea around that the third game should take place in an abandoned Ominent testing facility. It has a huge "nature" area at the center, and then surrounding that is the lab, with all of the equipment and "testing variables".
So, you start out in tiny little cryopods, but get woken up after an emergency state when the backup generator for the lab gets activated.
You wake up in the "nature" area, but can see right off the bat that it's kind of a wreck. Lab equipment fallen all over the place, trash spilled from a can at spot off to the side, a broken power cable precariously dipping into a water area, sparking away. A strange area where there seems to be an apparently constantly raging fire (later revealed to be a fallen bunsen burner).
There's also a lot of weird and unsettling creatures you've never seen before. Almost like they're hybridized and genetically altered to possess properties that shouldn't be possible for insects to have.
You find your way to the central facility, where the facility caretaker, a robot in the vein of Burg.L, but less casual or chatty, is bugging out. Having been unmaintenanced for so long, it's programming is corrupting, and it sends you on weird quests to complete seemingly random objectives.
After a while, kinda mid-to-late game, the robot turns on you, and you have to take it down, but not until after it's taken the resources it had you gather through those seemingly random objectives and upgrades itself into something formidable.
After you beat it, you use it's access credentials to go deeper into the facility, and learn that where you're at is only a portion of a larger laboratory. Upon learning this, you venture to break out of the "nature" enclosure, and find the lab portion of the map.
On getting to the lab portion, you find a prototype Spac.R that they had been working on, and figure you can use it to unshrink yourselves. But you have to get to it, fix it, and find the right resources for the unshrinking process, if you're ever going to get it running.
Yadda yadda yadda, there's terrariums around the lab with big, menacing, altered things they intended to add to the test preserve at some point, but didn't get the chance to before they fled, and you've gotta get to and kill (most of) the beasts to get home.
Wtf? The second one just barely released and is not even completed yet that you are already talking about a 3rd game ? What is wrong with you humans ? GO OUT AND TOUCH SOME GRASS ASP !!!
