RIM!TALE — Next Major Direction Poll
Alternative Echoes is ready.
After that, I want to choose the next major direction for RIM!TALE.
This poll is not about small fixes or balance patches.
This is about the next large content axis.
This is about the next large content axis.
Option 1 — The Roaring
A Deltarune-side expansion.
This direction would focus on Dark Fountains, Titans, Darkner pressure, the Darkner Court, and the first real signs of the Roaring inside RimWorld.
Possible content:
- Dark Fountains as map/world threats;
- Dark Pressure as a growing crisis;
- Titan shadows, fragments and manifestations;
- Darkner Court operations and contracts;
- rare Knight-type pawns;
- Roaring Knight-related content;
- new weapons such as Asgore-style tridents and the black sword of the Roaring Knight;
- Dreamborne as counterplay to darkness;
- Nightmareborne as a way to exploit darkness;
- Gaster reactions to the world opening incorrectly.
Theme:
The world is no longer just using SOULs.
The world itself begins to open.
The world itself begins to open.
Option 2 — Monster Forms
A visual and biological identity expansion.
This direction would focus on making monsters, Fallen, Darkners, Amalgamates and special soulbearers more visually distinct.
This would not replace the scanner system.
The current human/monster classification stays as the source of truth.
The current human/monster classification stays as the source of truth.
Possible content:
- random monster appearances;
- visual monster traits;
- stronger visual signs for Fallen monsters;
- visible Amalgamation stages;
- True Amalgamate body horror details;
- Darkner visual marks;
- boss-aspect visual hints;
- Fear Vessel / Dreamborne / Nightmareborne visual polish;
- optional intensity settings for players who prefer a more vanilla look.
Theme:
A monster should not always look like a normal person.
The body should remember what the soul became.
The body should remember what the soul became.
Option 3 — Anomaly Echoes
An Anomaly DLC-focused alternative universe expansion.
This direction would use RimWorld - Anomaly as a gateway for stranger AU content.
Not just more CORE/SAVE accidents.
This would be about alternative realities leaking through containment, rituals, corrupted memories, impossible sites and entities that should not exist.
Possible content:
- Anomaly-only AU Echo incidents;
- corrupted SAVE/CORE sites;
- impossible rescue quests;
- anomalous alternate versions of pawns;
- containment-based AU events;
- Gaster and Anomaly crossover events;
- corrupted Echo Souls;
- entities born from failed timelines;
- special Anomaly interactions with Fear, Dream, Nightmare, Error and After Echoes.
Theme:
Some timelines do not become traits.
Some timelines become incidents.
Some timelines become incidents.
Requires Anomaly for its main content.
Option 4 — Relics & Soulcraft
A weapons, artifacts and equipment expansion.
This direction would focus on making SOULs, monster magic, Boss Aspects, Echo Souls and dark technology matter more through items.
Possible content:
- more essence-tempered weapon variants;
- rare SOUL relics;
- dark relics;
- Echo Soul artifacts;
- boss-aspect equipment;
- monster-magic tools;
- unique high-risk weapons;
- special armor or implants linked to LV, SOULs and absorbed souls;
- more reasons to build around crafting, trading and relic hunting.
Theme:
A pawn is not the only thing that can carry a SOUL.
Weapons can remember too.
Weapons can remember too.
Boosty support helps with larger updates, testing, polish, art, and future development time.
THE EXPERIMENT CONTINUES.
STAY DETERMINED.
