King does it as a hobby, I doubt he cares much of how fast is gets released.

Kind of important for me: can you make children just an option at the menu? I wouldn't be able to play without thinking of sad parentless children :(

Personally, I don't actually see a good reason for having kids in here.  In DF they serve the purpose of being a stage in the development of lifeforms, but to my knowledge this game will only have targets.  As such, their torture and gruesome murder will not be a side effect, but rather a fulfilling of their natural purpose.

That...  Doesn't really strike me as adding a whole heck of a lot to the game.  Yeah, sure, so you lose a bit of freedom for those who wanted to specifically become Playground Predators, but otherwise they wouldn't really add anything.

Remember, in this context, you wouldn't be implementing children.  You'd be implementing child murders.  That will most likely rub a number of people in a wronger way than shredding an obese adult's intestine with a power drill and then filming them while they die from sepsis.

But it would be so cool if you could have a girlfriend and have her have a baby.

Then when you die you take role of your baby...

I agree with Kagus on the no kids part.

I also agree that the game is tiptoeing around on the line as it is, and it'd be best not to add kids.

filming your victims would be a cool idea, though.

Why?
Who would you show it to?

Or do you mean record it so you can rewatch it?

That would be so smart.

Hey! Police! Look at this video of me killing someone!

No, you should tape them of the guy dying. pleading for his life, bleeding out, etc.

You should also be able to get a small reprieve by watching your filmed... 'exploits'.

Now there's a fun idea...  In certain situations, that is.  I think it might actually be possible to work it into an interesting part of the game.  The way I'm seeing it, the game would actually record what was going on in a certain area, and then you could watch your accomplishments over again by playing it back on an appropriate viewing system.  There might be something in there for getting some small deal of psychotic satisfaction out of it, but I think it would/should mostly just be something fun for the player.

That sounds more fun.
But wouldn't the police wonder how you got it, and why you didn't call the police while it was happening?
