I don’t think there’s anything in particular, I left it open so that as new stuff was added to gimkit, or when people had new ideas, they could add it.

What if we added a underwater animal, for example an octopus to the art part of the guide? Or would that be too ambitious?

I think that’d be great! Just make sure the formatting when you do the text doesn’t look that bad, otherwise, go ahead, anything is welcome.

Random thought, it’d be cool to write about how to create a believable “atmosphere.” I don’t see a lot of guides do that. Making art in the game is one thing, but doing it effectively to make your environment believable is another. You can even incorporate more mechanical stuff like “animated” props. It’s hard to convey what I mean, but yeah, I hope someone understands haha

Time to cook up some custom props for this…

I see what you mean. I’ve seen some games that are like that, but making it that way is tricky.
In terms of under the sea, maybe something like moving seaweed would apply to this?

I get what your saying!
i think
for example, animated seaweed made of text could give ti a more underwater feel due to the water moving the seaweed, or small school fo fish, or even a translucent barrier over everything to make ti look tinted blue!

Or fish. Moving fish would be a very nice detail

possibly a boat on the surface as well, or those geyser thingies

and one way you could incorporate moving fish would have an infinite loop of them going around the map/ underwater parts of the ma so it pops up occasionally and takes more time depending on where you are.

Or you could have a random genorator make a different school of fish do a different route/animation each time to make it more unique and less repetitive

And as I was on the topic of animals earlier, what if we could simulate a octopus or other animals popping out under rocks from time to time, or making a large swim around an area. All these ideas are fairly simple if you can do animation properly.
(I’m getting way to exicited needa calm down)
