In most chapters, he is a simple and annoying entity
I don’t really understand the logic of this. Unless you are implying that all enemies would funtion like a humanoid fighting character(which wouldn’t be the best idea),
Wouldn’t it make sense to use different ai for different types of enemies with different skills then of the useable player characters?
Using the example of Xout, he has extremely good vertical mobility with his constant jumps but is slower when having to move horizontally, due to the fact he doesnt have a walking move
Take this for an example:
You know super Mario bros right?
Imagine if all the enemies in that game acted like mario; jumping around, running back and forth. It wouldn’t create the same feeling as the normal goombas that just walk around.
Look at it this way
Using the Mario example again,
Comparing the moveset of Mario to let’s say… A hammer bro,
the hammer bro is able to jump around really fast, throw multiple hammers at mario, but never walks
Marion on the other hand, can kill enemies by jumping on them, he is able to crouch, and with a fireflower powerup, shoot fireballs
Now imagine a new senario ;
Let’s say we want to make a bot of Mario and recode the hammer bro
Once we are done coding our Mario, Should we recycle the code to make a hammer bro?
Maybe. But it’s a big big big maybe. Since the two have different skills and characteristics but have a few similarities (ie, their movement) so it could be possible to code it … But at that point you would effectively be just editing 90% of Mario’s code just to get a hammer bro,
When it’s possible to just try and make a new code for it, which would be simpler and faster, mainly due to the part that enemies tend to be simpler in nature then player bots.
So… Why?
only cutscenes will slow the game down and make the magic of cutscenes boring and only using dialogue would make the universe of the game stale with nothing to wow at
So I COMPLETELY agree with the idea to go hybrid, to get the best of both worlds, no argument here
Well, chapter 0 is basically half a page away from completion, so expect to see it done by tmr.
But. I have spent most of my free time at school writing Down story ideas about the first chapter, trying to contect the scenes to the universe,
You said you wanted a side scroller right?
And the first that came into my mind are trains…

-good things:
The game is not done yet and even now it is one of Wick’s most Impressive games I have ever seen in my Life It can even Compete with Games Outside of wick! The sounds are good too and the gameplay is fun!
-Not so good things:
Not so much the game isn’t finished yet I’m sure more content will be added so The only bad point is Gone
hey yall, so i know that this collab is slowing down (by a lot). this reply has a few purposes.
to show that i’m alive
maybe to re-initiate progress on this game?
i now know why audio wouldn’t play in HTML until the user clicked something (like the start button that starts the intro) (i randomly found this on twitter lol)
the start button at the beginning of the game has to be pressed in order for the website to be allowed to output sound
browsers apparently require the user to input a gesture (click, key press, etc) in order for the website to make sound
when the start button at the beginning of the game isn’t there, we don’t hear the intro music because there was no gesture. if we make a gesture at any point, the audio will start to play.
this doesn’t happen in the editor because we click stuff in the editor before running the project, so the browser is happy to play the audio
this is the tweet i saw in the last bullet (it’s cut off to show only what you need to see).
it’s good overall, but the trees feel really unnatural. you can move things around to make it better. (it doesn’t even have to be symmetrical. as long as the arena doesn’t give a noticeable advantage to a player just because of where they spawn, it’s fine.)
also… why does this collab have to be so secret ._. is it so secret that even i can’t see it?
I had my friend @santadoggy test out 1.4.26 and he gave a bit of constructive criticism.
He said that players handled a bit slippery, though it isn’t a big deal.
He also suggested keybinds, we can use prompt("") and project. variables to handle those
He Thinks that Gamemodes like Time/Stock battles should be added and suggested that different bot difficulties like easy, moderate, and hard should be a thing since the bot is a bit hard.
We also thought of 2 maps, Pirate/Cruise ship and Beach at Sunset
If the pirate ship is also a story map, we thought of a boss where the glitch takes the form of the captain
For the beach, there’s the main platform and then birds flying by which you can stand on
I think using prompts is kinda basic. we can make it fancier by when you click “change keybind” or something, you are asked to press a key. you press that key, and a keypressed script will catch it, and set the control to key (the last key pressed). if you click the screen instead, it will cancel.
the advantages of this are:
it’s fancier
it’s customizable (graphics-wise)
you can easily make bind the arrow keys, shift, etc
i’ll try quickly make an example. (edit: might make it later if needed, not now though)
FFR 1.4.27 (Settings)7-27-2021_20-17-24.wick (1.7 MB)
I made a settings window, a future home for the keybind changer
Also @awc95014 it may need to be redrawn, but do you thing the fact i did the decor for map 2 is enough to possibly get my oc in?
also you may not want to click the homework folder…
I may need someone else to draw it due to my mediocre sketching skills and me not being good at things like animating walk cycles.
But i do have som attacks!
UP: Plasmioid (summons a ball of lighting that explodes when another player touches it)
DOWN: Sweep the leg (idk what this should be)
SIDE: Technicolor Punch (Stuns enemy for 0.5 secs and does 12 damage)
I’ve also finished the other concept map, which I titled “Volcanic View” It is yet to have hitboxes, but I would just like to share it. Volcanic View (ForumFightersMap)7-28-2021_20-16-57.wick (239.4 KB)
There are also birds that I put on the map ( You can find them on the right ) The gimmick with the birds being that they appear in random places at random times, being platforms that players can jump on.
Sadly, I don’t know much coding so I’m just sharing what I have so far.
