Setting: Sunshine Market
Sunshine Market is owned by the lucrative businessman Mr. Munei, and this particular Sunshine Market location's manager is Mr. Dedsoun. You'll be working as a low level employee, earning wages, doing work, and keeping an eye on everyone and everything around you. While Sunshine Market is technically speaking, outside of Time, Space, and Dimension (and therefore, has a lot of odd customers), it does close and open. For 24 hours it'll be open and work should be done and direct combat is disallowed, and for the following 24 hours it's a free for all between you and all the other employees of Sunshine Market.
Locations within the grocery store are as follows:
Spoiler:
During the night however... Let's just say you and other, enemies from different places, have free reign.
Mission: E-7 "The Boom"
While you are an employee being paid by Sunshine Market, you're also a mercenary of Devv. Co. You're not here to kill and maim, although that is allowed, you're here to plant a bomb. E-7's are a type of bomb capable of, on detonation, "collecting" paradoxes for study. Sunshine Market is a central hub for paradoxes, so where better to unleash an E-7? Simple deposit your E-7, arm it, and wait 12 hours for it to activate. Please note that all players will know how long until the bomb explodes, and that if another player's E-7 goes off, you lose. So, keep your bomb active, and disarm everyone else's bomb.
E-7 devices need the following conditions to be primed:
- Must be in a location that has a direct air connection to the rest of Sunshine Market, large enough that one could navigate to the E-7
- Must be in a location where the E-7 will not be shuffled around or moved. Once planted, it's yaw, pitch, and roll must remain constant
To disarm an E-7:
- Cut off it's air path
- Rotate it in any axis
E-7's are returned to their owners once disarmed.
Gameplay: What you need to know
Items and Inventory:
- Your inventory can hold up to 20 items, with copies of the same item stacking. Some items may take 2 slots, but trust me, it's worth it.
- Once you obtain a special item, you will also obtain it's crafting recipe. First time getting it is hard, second time is just a matter of crafting.
- Items can be obtained through experimental crafting, completing challenges, doing well in minigames, or in secret spots around the map.
- Please note that all items have both upsides and downsides. There's no such thing as a "better" item, but having more items is "better" due to giving you options.
- Items can be purchased by spending money, or stolen. Stolen items are "criminal" and can not be used while the store is open.
Respawning
- After about 4 hours of real time, you may choose to respawn, with no items.
- Fear not! You'll be given 20 dollars and 30 minutes of grace. You can't attack or be attacked.
- Gaining back your items won't be too hard, as you will know the crafting recipes for everything.
- Dust yourself off, use the grace period to power back up, and get right back into the action!
- Please note that respawning will give you a random paradox effect Paradox effects make gameplay challenging, but interesting.
