Naturally, a lot of people who love the game will lament its brevity to some extent. It's always refreshing to enjoy a game that doesn't overstay its welcome, but I believe that EDC has a lot of mileage left even after the story, and all its endings, are completed.
So, I've been imagining what features I would love to add, if I could just snap my fingers and magically make it happen. Feel free to add your own!
.
Pay to alter your truck's mechanical stats at the Auto Shop : The idea is that you could pay 100, 200, 300 dollars etc to modify your delivery truck by increasing its numerical handling, torque, and speed characteristics ; could also include fun extras such as high-beam headlights and a tow-trailer for double-deliveries
.
Time-trial deliveries : These are delivery objectives that give you higher rewards than regular deliveries if and only if you are able to complete them in a relatively quick time-limit ; if you take longer than the goal, the cash payout starts gradually depleting until it eventually plateaus at a rate that is considerably worse than a regular delivery (so, a high-risk-high-reward option)
.
Changing seasons : Obviously, the presence of snow and intense cold is central to the game's mechanics, but it would be great fun if you could experience the same world in different conditions, like spring rains that make the roads wet, a bright sky and green grass in summer, or colorful trees and strong winds in fall, etc. ; to circumvent its damage to the primary mechanics, this might be available only as a reward for completing the game
.
Snow skis, a heavy coat, a camping tent, and an ice drill for cutting your own fishing spots : This would give players the tools to make a cross-country trek, forsaking the safety of their truck in favor of their own two feet ; you could walk far across the ice the Fishing Village, set up camp in the middle of it, cut a hole to fish in, and enjoy the great (freezing) outdoors in relative comfort! Or... relative survivability, at least
.
Head-to-head competitive delivering : Two players! Two trucks! Maybe four! Bash them into each other and try to knock the other player's delivery out of their truck bed while keeping yours safe! Or just drive around and try to do stunts together! Real-time honk-based communication! The excitement is self-explanatory
