    Hello fellow forum browsers and fellow suggesters!

    Personally, I'd really like to see some kind of ability implemented that allows people to interact with each other!
    This implementation would involve:
    - A set of idle expressions showing sadness, (jumping for) joy, exhaustion (yawning), laughing, etc...
    - A small set of random idle expressions like the tipping of a hat (to acknowledge someone), waving,
    "impatiently tapping their foot, falling asleep, inspect his held item/weapon"*
    , waving a flashlight around out of boredom (in dark places), or maybe a little smoochie-smoochie.
    - Various two-person actions such as shaking hands, hugs, high-fives or props (brofist!), etc...

    Hugs and High-fives courtesy of polipbo! Thank you so much for making sprites!


    I think this would add immersion to the game, make characters and npcs more lively-looking, add some roleplay capabilities, as well as add an encouragement when a fellow player does something good.

    I was in IRC at around 5:19PM on August 16th, 2013 when mollygos responded to my question about player idles/actions! I don't have a timestamp, but she said this:
    "<mollygos> if we did stuff like that it'd be post-release"
    "<mollygos> they're in the game! so you can"

    A lovely idea, and one that I think has a relatively high chance of being implemented. Not too idealistic, and a function that I think most people can get behind. I look forward to it.

    I have to agree with you! I mean, come on, who doesn't like hugs!?
    It would definitely make a nice Sunday project for the team if they considered it!

    Thanks everyone for the support and kind words! :DD

    Argh, I was just about to suggest something like this until I bumped into this thread.
    But hey, you have my support! You might also get a few sprites off of me too :p
