Lore: A strange structure was found by Senior Deputy Kev while wandering the outskirts of Indian territory. Kev discovered strange creatures inside and barely made it out alive, accidentally dropping one of his snubnose pistols inside like a noob! Lord Wingsfield has now issued out a bounty for the destruction of all the creatures inside. Will you take on this difficult task with your friends and save Ol'West from these foreign unknown creatures?

So I was thinking of good concepts for PvE type content and I know you don't want to outright copy era's Crypt Avenger however for PvE content on west imo something similar to crypt would be ideal. Its not like era's the first game to do round PvE content anyway a LOT of games have done it for years. So this is imo the ideal PvE content West needs and how I would balance it and give it an Ol'West touch/vibe. Im also curious how much players would want a crypt/round based dungeon on Olwest.
(Warning: I dont play era so ive got no idea how their Crypt works I just know its round themed like COD zombies forgive me if this is extremely similar)
Alien Ship Concept/PvE ideas :- There would be 1000 rounds where the NPCs and waves get harder every round.
- Every 100 rounds there would be a unique boss.
- After 100 Rounds a door in the back of the level would open up allowing the players to enter. In this next room there will be a door to the next 100 rounds and there will also be a button to save progress which would be to activate an alien teleporter that warps the players to an outside level which will have 9 teleporters, 1 for every 100 rounds. Progress saved based on account ID.
- Only teams of 5 people or less can enter the ship together. This can be done using the Queue script gang spar has. (Small team=less bullets which means less lag and easier for blaze/avenger to balance)
- Only 3-5 Alien Guns would be useable in the ship that can be bought in a seperate shop outside it.
(I recommend making them all at least 200k gralats per gun)
- These Alien Guns will all be upgradeable guns just like how the arena gun script works. Every "Alien" you kill grants you 1 Alien Token from Lord Wingsfield. These tokens would be used to upgrade your Alien Guns in the Alien Guns shop and to buy other things in a seperate shop.
- Players would only be able to enter the ship during a 5 minute window every hour. If a player dies while in the Alien Ship he has to wait before he can re-enter again. (Balancing/longterm content purposes)
- HP resets every 'x' amount of round. (Thats up to you guys.)
- No Food is useable in the Alien Ship instead there will be Alien Trees growing around the ship outside which players can burn inside for healing.
- The bosses would all drop Dungeon Chest after being defeated. Players can only open these chests 1 time per day. (Could sell "Dungeon Lockpicks" or something in the Gralat Shop in our menus for USD to make it so players could open 1 chest 2 times per day. I would put an EXTREMELY RARE auction tier melee in these chests drop tables.)
- The guns would use a special type of ammo which is dropped randomly in the Alien Ship levels. No unlimited ammo.
GFX/Gani's that would be needed to complete this project:- Basic Alien NPC GFX/Gani's(you could use the old Alien morphs and recolor them to have more then 3 types)
- Outside Alien Ship entrance GFX(Wings would have to make this and it would need to be on par with Tombstone/Pyramid)
- Alien Tree GFX/Gani
- Alien Wood fire GFX/Gani
- The 10 unique bosses GFX/Gani's
- (3-5) Alien Guns GFX/Gani's
- Upgradable Gun UI GFX for all those upgradable guns
- Alien Token Shop GFX/Gani's
- Boss Chest/Drops in Chest GFX/Gani's
- Alien Ship Tileset
- Special Ammo crates GFX
Levels that would be needed to complete this project:- 10 inside Alien Ship levels 1 for every 100 rounds.
- 9 levels between those 10 Inside Alien Ship levels.
- Alien Token Shop Level
- Outside Teleporter Room Level
- Upgradable PvE Guns Level
Why an Alien Ship as the first dungeon?:
Cowboys Vs. Aliens is an old stereotype which is familiar to people and theres already some old alien assets from a past event which can be used to save time in developing this project. It doesnt neccessarily have to be Aliens theme this is just a concept.
(Typed this on Forums because Discord has a character limit. Even though I know this is extremely unlikely for the staff team to do due to the amount if time it would take to make I still wanted to have this typed out just in case minds are ever changed.)
