- No NSFW - No NSFW content is allowed. While CDDA deals with adult content, the intent is not to be erotic. Submissions that have excessive sexual themes may be removed at moderator discretion.
- Constructive Criticism - We encourage constructive criticism and feedback. However, avoid excessive or ongoing negativity that does not have any actionable or constructive elements. "This gameplay element is imbalanced because it makes this other thing too difficult" is fine. "This change should be reverted, it's terrible" is not.
- Stay On-topic - As this is a Lemmy dedicated to the game Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, the submissions should primarily focus on CDDA as a topic.

That's really tough, there are a bunch of huge features that might not happen outside of magical intervention. Probably the hordes system and associated subsystems like fire spread and NPCs roaming around scavenging things. The thing about a proper hordes system is it essentially makes the active area of the game bigger, so now you have to worry about things in earshot and things that you previously interacted with instead of just things you're looking at in the moment.
while i definitely want hordes most of the things you'll hypothetically get to someday, i was really excited for a little while at the idea of the sun tracking that almost happened. that sounded so cool (and with our increasingly viable 3d fov stuff, could LOOK cool in our modern rendering)
