I was thinking if someone would make a man ragdoll! I imagine it being pretty hard but maybe someone could do it! It would be like the normal crash test dummy but like some features and textures so it will look like a person. If someone could do that, that would blow my mind! It would look something like this...
the devs want to avoid an age rating, so... no. altough, theres a "be 13" restriction to use the forums, they could easily go for a "T" (13+) rating wich would allow mild violence content. in the end its about money, age ratings mean fewer sells, its simple as that i guess.
I think that crash test dummies could be (should be?) included as official props without age rating problems. Some mods (delta 88, for example) have them and its interesting and fun to play with them, from a "safety" point of view. Even though and regardless of age rating issues, I think making them look human would be a step too far. Even with the Stig mod I find the crashes slightly disturbing and somehow out of the general tone of the game.
Why not make a dummy, I don't see why the age rating would change with one of these? It fits into the testing aspect of BeamNG
Already exists mate: http://www.beamng.com/resources/crash-test-dummy.906/ EDIT: Ninja'd by @Ghost187 And we already have stigs and dummys driving cars and we have a dummy prop so i don't see much point in adding a prop that looks like a normal pedestrian. Doesn't feel like the games tone as said above. Stigs and dummies are fine though IMO. I guess they can be realistic for roleplay or something like that.
Okay Thank you guys for the feedback, now when i look back at it, its kinda disturbing. Ill stick to the crash test dummies!
It's a great suggestion, I think someone may mod a human in the future. The only issue is the M rating that will be imposed on BeamNG by the Rating system. Indeed I think even Goat Simulator had to be rated a certain way for showing violence to an animal
I love the idea. Just dont make it so the man bleeds or breaks apart. Give it the same physics as the dummy. My favorite part about the dummy is how he can be twisted into a jiggling singularity of knotted parts that then explodes into a chaotic universe of polygons taking up the entire map! I want to see a HUMAN do that!
This is a very good idea. I agree with what @KilldevilFox said. Maybe the ragdoll could be something like the characters in Stuntfest. Someone has already done a human ragdoll in the past, and there was a crash dummy made. Can't forget the Stig and the crash dummy for inside cars, like what SergentFido incorperated with his fantastic Oldsfullsize mod. Those examples could really open up doors for ragdolls in the future. Heck, wouldn't be fun to jettison a ragdoll out of the Ibishu Pigeon as it rolls? lol
