Holy shit,
Originally
It was supposed to be Everything to Everyone
You could fight everyone
You could sex everyone
Next level jealousy mechanics
Including sexable jealousy
All environments were fully destructible
You could sex destruction itself
Every vehicle had physics
The physics were themselves sexable
Accurate nutrition mechanics
Featuring sexable rations
You could sex all of the vehicles
Every fightable/sexable tech tree was gonna be infinitely extendable
Accurate dehydration, malnutrition, and starvation mechanics
All sexable
If you sexed too much for too long you could get dehydrated
And if you sexed with dehydration too much you could give birth to weirdo autosexing deserts that would birth glass factories strangely enough
And the glass would shatter as it sexed itself like crazy
All of the vehicles are driveable/flyable/sailable/sexable
Sophisticated economic cycles of boom/bust/boom/bust ad infinitum
You could totally sex the economy
Sexable boom
Sexable bust
Next generation malaise mechanics where your character could become disillusioned after too many Forever Wars and/or failed government responses to lethal pandemics
You could sex all of the destructible environments
You could sex all of the pandemics
You could sex the malaise
You could sex the Forever Wars, totally bust off your Wargasm, dawg
Emergent gameplay would birth wholly unique cutscenes for all players,
and if you wanted to skip the cutscenes
you had to navigate a grindy labyrinth full of destructible and sexable booby traps and robot sentries
Totally sexable grindy labyrinths, natch,
Along with a fully sexable skip once you unlocked it,
with the unlock also being sexable
Accurate orgasm mechanics including fake orgasms
You could sex the orgasms
You could sex the fake orgasms
Day/night cycle
You could sex the day/night cycle
Extensive crafting
Including sexable crafting-
But they had to scale it back
Due in part to toxic crunch-induced work stress
Like
Basically
'Cause
half the dev team ended up in hospital
Which meant they were short staffed
So they had to reign it in, y'know?
In the end
What got released
Was a perfectly serviceable go kart track management sim
Which some have criticized as falling pretty far short of the original vision
But I dunno
If you squint, right?
A little squinting never hurt nobody.
I bet you had sexable squinting in the original design docs . . .
