Reasoning:
The idea behind this suggestion is to give those interested the ability to create roles for the upcoming “Custom” mode more often referred to as the Party Mode. This allows for a fun dynamic where players can surprise their friends, show off their role creation skills, and most importantly create new and fun experienced in a near endless way.
How the idea would work:
Players will be able to open up a Menu on the side of their screen in the lobby to make their own role. For now, these roles will be limited to Good and Evil Team.
Tasks:
1st, They will be tasked on Selecting the Team
2nd, They would be tasked on choosing when the role activates. They’d be able to choose between passively and actively. Passive activation would work something like Detective whereas Active activation works like Psychic or any other role. On this phase of the role creation process players will also chose when it passively activates or when their role can Actively visit. They can limit it down to specific days or just limited uses in general. For example, this would allow players to make roles that only gain info Night one or like Assassin and Savior only have 1 visit.
3rd, Players would choose whether their role visits the living or the dead, and or both.
4th, This is where players would be able to choose the ability of their role. Players will be able to choose from existing abilities and effects and add them to the role, so if you wanted to make a role that can do everything all good team roles can do in 1 night you could. You may also adjust the type of info gained or the info you want to gain from (if making a passive role). As well as how many uses a night a role has. For example, you can make a role that learns 1 of 2 people is X role passively. By adjusting the info, the role gains and the number of players it may learn. There would hopefully be additional role mechanics and choices not existing in the original game added in order to increase the amount of creativity, a big example being misinformation for Evil roles. I would also like to mention because you can mess around with any ability and add it to any team, you can make Sheriff.
5th, Players would finally Name their role and write a summary on how it works. Then Save/Post it.
Visibility:
Posted roles would be available to everyone with the game pass making a Custom Lobby. Allowing them to choose from existing roles created by other members, players can like these roles, so they show up every time for themselves, star them so they show up to other people more often and ofc Search through them by Team, passive/Active, and ofc Name.
Based on choices players make between the 2nd-4th steps of the creation process. A Second summary of the role would be made, ofc players can click in further to find a more accurate version of the role by looking at its innerworkings.
Additional info:
This idea, is meant to be locked behind an individual game pass and or be apart of the VIP game pass. This overall is done so that players are better regulated with their creations.
This idea is largely Based on Jujutsu Shenanigans’ custom movset builder. Pls post any questions, or features you would like added to this suggestion below.
