Concepts of things to add

[link]

I won't go over the extremely obvious bugs.
1. Add a match status in lobby selection screen, tell why you weren't able to join or you got kicked rather than just "return to solo".
2. easily implementable cosmetic changes just for further expression
Make every color able to
1. invert the color (so like instead of red with white accents, white w/ red accents)
2.change white accents to black (like how orange looks)
3. invert and change white to black so that you have black main color w/ red/green/purple etc. accents.
This does not mean they would be different colors though, because that would cause more confusion imo. there would still only be one purple one white one blue etc, they would just be able to change these tiny things so that there is more difference within the skins in a match, and they can choose whichever one they like, allowing self expression.

More settings in general for making matches

1. make it so that you can change the spawns of items/ their bullet counts.
Sometimes in matches w/ less people someone will get a revolver w/ six bullets and just be able to kill everyone. Also one time i had two guns and a knife spawn in the same room so whichever side gets there first is extremely well off. It never is fun losing a game cause the dissident had six bullets that are all able to one shot. you should be able to manage ammo counts in settings or if the weapon is even able to appear in the first place. with that, you could make it that certain objective items are more or less available so maybe there are less containers, inclining the dissident to play a more passive, stalling playstyle. with that said, ofc there would be a minimum on this so that the dissident(s) couldn't just hold the containers and win.

2. add optional complexity to certain tasks.
this would be extremely easy to do, just add an optional purple or pink plant, making analysis/ pizzushi ever so slightly more interesting. add the option of another plant/fish/rice for pizzushi so that the orders are slightly more complex. everything you could just add on graphically, except for the rice but you could easily just make a graphic where two rices are mixed in or it could be half and half. you could add a fourth canister for pressure, etc.

make computer more interesting.
All of the tasks are somewhat interesting in their own right, but i think most people would agree that computer is only ever tedious and/or frustrating. There is no sense of accomplishment for pressing a button in one area and pressing a button in another area and even for the dissident, you literally just press a button to mess it up, which doesnt feel very rewarding or interesting. I think implementing a time limit rather than a chance thing could be more fun, or maybe there could be some sort of minigame where each computer generates a different code and the dissident could enter the wrong one to mess it up, or you could mix and match these two different things and each computer has a different method of completion. This means that you could keep the current computer task but also add different ways. One computer is the current one, but one is a time trial, and one is a code based computer. Even if you disagree my concepts on how to change it, my point is just that they need to be changed because they are so tedious and uninteresting. Also referring to my previous suggestion about match settings, you could have a match setting that mandates this and if you wanted a certain computer minigame throughout that would be fine.

make lobby better
idk just add like tasks you can do in there or something. Firing range, tasks, minigame exclusive to lobby are a few ideas.

P.S. - on the note of cosmetics, look to the lockdown protocol like "main image" on steam. it has different outfits than in the real game. the main color is white and the accents are their character color. so this should be really easy to implement and then just switch the white w/ black and that's all of my recommendations done in that regard.

P.S.+ - if the argument is made that this lowers visibility, I think it sound the add an outline of the color of the player. regardless I think this is a good idea because I feel as though it adds clarity and matches the aesthetic of the game
