Bigfoot/Sasquach Encounter/Background

Bigfoot/Sasquach Encounter/Background
Posted 2020-11-03 10:23:28 (edited)

Hi devs!

I don't know if you're taking these types of suggestions right now (I see events are auto-rejected. And while this could be part of an event, it's also a general idea), but I have an idea for an additional encounter and/or background to reference the Bigfoot myths of parts of the US and Canada.

Bigfoot (also known as Sasquach), is a myth shared by Native Americans and settlers, and some people today still believe they exist. Even as recently as this year, blurry figures on traffic and weather-monitoring video are speculated to be Bigfoot sightings.

I think it would be neat to have an encounter, or perhaps a background, referencing these myths. If I had my preference, it would always be a far-away sighting where your wolf questions whether it's a strange ape or just a human being a weird human.

As an encounter, you'd have the option to "Investigate" and "Ignore." "Investigate" would have a low chance of giving the Bigfoot background item (which would feature a forest with several vague silhouettes of Bigfoot in the distance) or nothing. If nothing, they find out it's a human after all and avoid contact. "Ignore" would give SC or an item or something, also with a chance of nothing.

The encounter would be in any of the forest biomes, as most rumored Bigfoot sightings are in or near woods.

To implement this, it would need art for the encounter and background, and it would need to be coded as an encounter like the encounters that are already present.

Thanks for considering my suggestion, if you're taking this sort of thing right now!

I feel there is a slight mysticalness about my wolves. I mean the beginning wolf talks, so I like the idea.

It would be great to do. Big foot, Chupacabra, the Jersey devil, and one more for the south or maybe the snow.

Then you could have only one encounter active per season or territory. Bigfoot only in forest. Chupacabra in the desert. Or you could do Bigfoot is active in summer, jersey devil in the fall.

Support! I really love cryptids and the idea of just more mystical things in the game. Bigfoot could definitely translate into Yeti for winter or snow biomes so you could have the chance to encounter it differently. Chupacabra is interesting since some think it looks more like a dog so it might be cool if something like that was a decor instead of a full background with him. But it would be cool having a “Blood Bath” like background but instead of hyenas, goats with Chupacabra on top. I really enjoy the special backgrounds that are based off of real places so I think this would be really cool!

Absolute support! I'd love to see the background being of the famous bigfoot picture, or even having a bigfoot decore! 
I'm not sure how this would look for a decore, but bigfoot footprints would be cool too!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS IDEA <3 Full support!!!
I especially like this idea because I'm from Washington and imagine my pack to live here too (I've been through Snoqualmie Pass, the location of the linked video). It's nice that you can choose to "ignore" the encounter as well, in case you want to limit any fantasy elements in your gameplay. (not me though I would absolutely kill for a background with mysterious cryptid silhouettes)
