So if i am understanding this if we get the time ore the portals could lead us to a different alternate world like ours but with different time line and changes e.g.
In the tv show sliders you could have one of the characters as a hero in their own world but in the other world that character becomes an outlaw etc.
it should have a variety of designations to tell the difference in game. Now what that would bring to the game, good or bad, is another matter.
If such alternate world exists could that be done as a result of our collective world choices of not defending or defending etc That would mean the Game Director A.I would take those factors and perhaps change the alternate world's e.g
- Weather patterns
- Create a Mutation like in l4d2 where you may use or do something but wont be able to use or do something else
e.g. staying on the ground too long could damage you because the ground is alive and tries to eat you.
So you would have to jetpack and glide more in this world the energy lvl is higher the only downside is there is way more threats than the normal world etc etc
- Alternate race types e.g. chicken head floating donut race
- Npc roles
- Gravity
- Colour of the terrian, enviroment
- Sounds might be strange
- day/night cycle could be longer nights than day or the sky is completely red etc
- Enemy movement could be more unpredictable and odd.
etc etc
These time ores wont be easy to get i mean if they were wouldn't feel like oh cool this was worth all that effort. If it was readily available have no value in just getting time ores by the bucket load.
Crafters could create limited time ores lets say they are more unstable than true time ores, since crafters may have a specialist area and they use a few combination of rare resources and alot less time ore they could create a temporary unstable time ore that could be used for some hours until it just becomes unstable and disappears.
This is something like the argon crystals from warframe these are limited time use for creating stuff i think that could be a good idea for recon missions.
