Playing as a Slugpup
Screams: Devtools allows you to load in as a slugpup, but the pup's version of the world is empty.
Screams: With some simple overrides in the code, I once upgraded this into forcing the
game to always spawn you in as a pup regardless of the slugcat you're supposed to be.
Screams: Of course, I immediately tried playing all the new slugcats like
this. I will now list them off in order of (estimated) playability:
Screams: Survivor, Monk, Hunter, and Gourmand are the most feasible because
they don't have custom regions that rely on huge movement changes.
Screams: I imagine ascending as Rivulet would be possible with some quick thinking,
but giving the power cell to Moon is a no-go because of Submerged Superstructure.
Screams: With Artificer, you can't use scav karma to leave Garbage Wastes, so
you're stuck as a six-year-old pursued by killsquads in an acid field forever.
Screams: Saint and Spearmaster can't get out of their intro rooms without ridiculous
luck, and Saint's intro crashes the game anyway without further modification.
Screams: It really puts the helplessness of the pups into perspective, doesn't it?
