Survival mode shit has been rejected multple times when it was brought up in the Discord, and if I have any experience with it just jammed into the game (CoC1 mod...), it was tedious and annoying and would divert my attention away from actually doing stuff just to find shit to eat.Hear me out:
Survival mode.
Add a hunger mechanic that tracks what you eat. Obviously filling the bar would grant the Well Fed buff, but low bars would result in a massive debuff that would result in an incredible increase in difficulty. Obviously one could try and snack on rations and tavern food the whole time, but transformative items would also fill the bar, like cackle berries and knotted peppers. Kind of ends up in a chimera-ish, scratches an unwilling TF itch, and gives it a mildly more natural feel.
Maybe even take it further. A sleep function that debuffs over going too long without sleep and grants sleep deprived players greater chances of strange (read: sexy) dreams. Stronger nighttime encounters. Etc.
Otherwise I’m just waiting to bang more furries. Come to think of it, more exotic creatures, too— When do I get to bang a dragon? Or a beholder?
In a world where portal magic prevents you from enjoying a noble well-made stew that literally anyone else could eat because you got a special case of "gain the traits of any species related to the thing you put in your mouth", food items that doesn't TF you is few and far in-between in comparison to the stuff that doesn't. You're literally forcing players to either eat this thing to TF yourself unwillingly for a meaningless buff or starve because "MuH ReAlIsM aNd RP!111!111!.
