I'd like to play as a gang-dude-hunter.

That'd be fun.

Hey, another question. Can we interrogate people, like torture them to find out where their hideout is (if they're a gang dude person), stuff like that?

You can torture people. Tie them up and whittle them down to nothing, but no, you can't interrogate them for information. Most serial killers don't kill for logical reasons or because they want "information", they do it because they enjoy it and\or are compelled to do it by desires they cannot or don't want to control. But I suppose it's not out of the question to include interrogations way, waaaaay down the track.

Also judging by it, it was a bad idea to release the video now, as it  caused too much hype to control.

Judging by how fast this thread exploded, you got a winnar on your hands.
I wonder what all this says about us Bay12vers.
That we are bored.

Or that we like roguelikes, a lot.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Sorry, I feel that the presence of overgrown arachnids will have a somewhat detrimental effect on the game. You can be a violent hobo who likes to drink blood though, that's just as good.

Somehow this struck me as the funniest thing I've read today.

That we've played every Roguelike worth the name under the sun.

Plus, you know, LCS and gouging out children's eyes in Adventure mode.

Would you consider a potential "goal" to supress all your killing tendencies without getting caught?

Indeed, that's the meat of the game and what I intended when I started making a Dexter roguelike. The end result will be that you have total control over just how batshit insane your guy is, and some of the more afflicted characters will be very hard to control with their random desires (which they may automatically act on) to do weird shit that blows their cover and gets them caught.

That said, I'm off to bed. Thanks for all the praise and especially the suggestions, I'll definitely be adding some of the features suggested by you guys. Gnight for now.

Hmm, in that vein, do you intend to implement increased functionality for grisly souvenirs? For example, a shrine made out of ears.

This made me read about the BTK killer in detail this time.

An interesting read.

This one part seems to help the creator's reasoning for having the psychological penalties.

You know, the more we drag him around here on Q&A support, the less he can work on a releasable version.
