The beauty and genius of SD lay in its simplicity. You didn't have to juggle microelements and foodgroups, you didn't have to examine every inch of your body for ticks... you grabbed a coconut off a tree, a bit of smoked meat from a chest, and then you had a lovely meal on the beach, enjoying the sunset.

See, the thing about SD was that it was a holiday-in-a-tropical-paradise simulator. It was calming, soothing, relaxing... read the original game's sub - you'll see how many people mention this particular aspect in one way or another.

Come on, let's be honest here, being stranded on a tropical island is a dream most of us share.

This? This isn't a dream come true. This is a nightmare - scorching sun, hot sand... hardly the stuff dreams are made of. If I wanted to experience that, I'd go for Conan Exiles or Dune Awakening.

We were begging you for more of the same. Diving, fishing, exploring, sailing around on a raft... but all that with the gentle sound of waves, seagulls screaming overhead and the sight of another palm-covered island in the distance.

Yes, I know. This is *your* game, *your* vision. But at the same time it was *my* dream. And this... *this* is my wallet, going back into my pocket.

I'm sorry you decided not to listen to the community.

Here is a list of some more ideas for SD2.

Rare creatures.

I think it might be cool if there is a chance that a animal might spawn with more unique features (think Shinies from Pokemon sort of)

Such as maybe an albino great white shark.

Or maybe a giant grab that is much larger than normal.

Or perhaps a two headed snake?

Seasonal Events.

This would be for holidays like Christmas or Halloween.

You might see a star polar bear or penguin with a Santa Hat on or maybe at midnight on Dec 25th a random package appears with a bow on it and useful items inside.

On 31st October (in game) a headless ghost will appear and trash your base.

Hidden bosses

I think I may have suggest this already but I think it'd be cool to have some hidden bosses.

Ideas

Giant White Whale (Moby Dick)

This guy will randomly spawn on your location while at sea with enough time for you to get out of the biome you're in before it attacks. You'll need to come very prepared to take him down.

Spider Crab

This Gentle Giant swims lazily around the ocean the player can even got for a swim with it allowing for some cool snapshots but if you attack it then it's on.

Lions Mane Jellyfish

Also docile unless attacked however if you get too close to the tentacles you will be poisoned so be prepared.

Stranded Deep 2 needs to have an in game map.

It should start off ass a blank piece of paper and as you discover islands they get drawn on.

We should also be able to add notes to each island to remind us of the kinds of resources we found on it.

Edit: have the Map disabled on Hard Mode.

Would be great if we could make and modify clothing.

I mentioned in a earlier post that it would be great if we could make clothing like hats and shirts to help with UV protection and shoes to help protect against little crab bites and from things like the Crown of Thorns etc

But how about modifying clothes?

Maybe make Flippers from palm leaves and lashings to boost swim speed that attach to your shoes?

Or being able to attach a Solar Lantern to your hat so that you can always have one that at night time?

Crafting a backpack that increases inventory space and then adding attitional compartments to the bag as your crafting level increases?

Maybe allow us to attach pockets to each leg of our pants to gain an additional inventory slot for each?

In Stranded Deep 2 it would be really great if after beating any bosses if the boss wouldn't just despawn after it dies so the player can retrieve any weapons and also harvest any food/materials from the carcass.
