ye no my dads just like "I'm right and if you say I'm wrong then you're going hell for disobeying me" and he never acc says it like that but if I say he's wrong (I call him out most the time) you know DAMN WELL ima get screamed at for years 😭🙏

One time my father said: "I'm always right. And if I ever notice that I'm wrong, I will simply change my mind, and then I'll be right again." It was the wisest thing he ever said in my life. Unfortunately he was absolutely dogshit at noticing when he was wrong.

frozen roar but it’s the full game

who WOULDNT want to play that?? main plot is basically the mountain village storyline as it exists in canon, but with a lot more details. there are many real animated cutscenes! including Of Course mr okdueras exposé is gorgeously animated.

gameplay mechanics!

the map is way bigger, for the village as well as the mountain. you can go inside nishina’s and sakurai’s houses for instance. on the mountain new locations include: a bigger ice cave with ice stalactites, a big birch grove, one very nice clearing, you can go in the bottom of the gorge, you can explore yama-oroshi’s den. you can go off-trail! theres more game there but its more dangerous.

you can go/fall in the river and theres idk clams in there or something, and sometimes very rare stuff...! but it drains your health really really fast. when you get out frost goes on your clothes for awhile.

more variety of plants and game, including birds! there are also serow, and if you shoot them you get charged with a fine for illegal hunting cursed by the mountain gods.

HUNTING DOG mechanic !!!!! you get an akita and you can pick its color and name it and stuff! you can give it treats and pat it, and it can help you when youre hunting :)

saejima has more outfits and gear that you can equip to get different stats and looks, like in horizon zero dawn. he can wear the santa suit, theres a bunch of different coat ensembles, theres proper winter camo. when you beat mr okudera’s rifle test substory you get a traditional matagi outfit you can equip.

different times of day! theres daytime, dusk, and nighttime! you can get different game at different times of day, like some birds are nocturnal or something! the mountain is more dangerous at night. maybe there are also ghosts!

weather conditions can also change! theres regular snowing, no snowing, and occasionally a bizzard. you lose health more quickly in a blizzard but certain substories or whatever can only be activated under the right weather conditinos and at the right time of day.

you can climb some trees and shoot from there

you can bring different companions on the mountain with you whenever you please. the companions are mr okudera, baba, sakurai, and idk saejimas hostess or something hahahahaha

not sure precisely how this would work but, smoe kind of thing where you find random stuff that slowly helps flesh out mr okduera’s backstory? like you find an old letter to sato kiyoshi, or an old newspaper clipping of a yakuza named okudera getting marked for death, stuff like that.

some kind of cooking minigame! also a wood carving minigame! maybe wood chopping too!

ive said if before but. flashback campaign where you play as mr okudera during The Event. cutscenes for this one go into way more detail and reveal where and how mr okudera wasn’t quite honest when he explained to saejima et al what went down! also gorgeously animated.

substories !!!!!!

something is scaring all the game away!! has yama-oroshi returned??? nope turns out sakurai’s new TV is malfunctioning and sending out bad sounds at a wavelength humans cant hear. punch the tv.

something where nishina kimiyo-san gets to do something bc shes cool.

I Need a story that results in cutscene where saejima and okudera (baba optional) get drunk together. its a matagi tradition after a hunt!! the bangin minibar is right there!! lets actually use it please !!

a baba hunting substory thats REALLY heavy-handed with the hints that baba is a hitman. saejima picks up on nothing of course. there are some really well done, tender yet bitter, dramatic irony bits in this one. like im imagining idk saejima saves baba from drowning in the frozen river or something and baba is obviously Very cut up about how much hes coming to care for saejima and saejima is just. ‘dont worry baba-chan I’ll always be there to help you out” and babas like. Thats the PROBLEm i have inner TURMOIL bc of it. very nice cutscenes.

Actual Ghost substory. not ever quite made clear whether its mr okuderas hunting partner.

something with ainu representation. its a farce that theres no ainu representation in y5 as it stands.

these poor bear cubs.... no one to take care of them! can mr oduera get over his grudge against bears in order to help

participate in a regular matagi group hunt with nishina and the others! lots of facts and terminology about matagi in this one. (mr okudera is not in this substory because he refuses to group hunt with the other villagers)

an assassin comes to get mr okudera !! or maybe its just a person who acts sketchy by accident.

actually lets have both of those substories lol ^ make it a running gag. the last one has an Amon show up, of the sniper variety. this dude found out sato kiyoshi is still alive and wants to defeat him and claim his title as the worlds greatest sniper.

the doggie is introduced with a substory of course :)

another bit where mr okuera gets hurt and saejima has to rescue him because that happening 3+ times in the main plot wasnt enough. this one is kinda wry and self-aware though. mr okduera is very cranky about it. theres a pun idk.

Return of the Wolf !

something with that tanner guy gonsuke or whatever because he was so funny lol. maybe hes scamming people with too-high prices, and saejima has to remind him of the importance of fostering a techne for its own sake, and that reputation will adhere to the artisan of quality without the need for boasting.

tendo

this is a spoiler for one of my WIPs but whatever. post-main-plot substory where mr okudera is acting really sketchy and keeps sneaking out to go hunting on his own, also seems very solemn and depresed. turns out hes rummaging through yama-oroshi’s lair looking for any old remains that might be human, so that he can finally lay all of his hunting parnter’s body parts to rest :)

im gonna just post this but i think im forgetting a bunch, may add later

PLEASE think of some ideas and share them :D
