Hey there community! I'm in a bit of a pickle.
Currently, I have a limited number of items strewn about the maps, and it doesn't make sense for there to be a shop in the setting of my game (let alone a currency). One of my friends asked me, "What if they player doesn't have the item?", I said, "Well, they would have to look around and find it."
"But what if there are no more?" he asked. And that got me thinking - since there are a limited amount of items, and I can't possibly predict how the player will use them, what is the best course of action to ensure that the player has the tools they need, when they need it. Since a shop would be out of place, here are a couple of ideas-
-Have a very simple Agriculture system where you can grow more items.
-Have the resources respawn after a certain number of steps.
-Simply include more items than necessary in the maps.
I'm looking for a system that cant be cheated (or at least is hard/time consuming to cheat), but one that is engaging to the player and makes them feel like if they need to find something, they can.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
