Binary

could you do a bonus or extra level that is pure "bullet hell" shmup for some people? (get extra points/exp/rep/posts/whatever for completing it)

Sure, just be sure to remind me after I get the main game done.

Also, progress: REP! REP EVERYWHERE!

Pretty funny, I had some math wrong, and the rep went away from you, instead of toward you.

Alright, I think I figured out how to solve the pony issue. There will be an option in the menu to turn them on or off. When on, all things that are supposed to be ponies will remain as so, and if they are off then they'll be replaced with something else. Also, my to-do list for today: Add rep, posts, ect. Maybe get the inventory started.

Ah, I loved this show, and now there's a whole new season! thanks for pointing this out man!

Anyone that touches the flames is set on fire, barring Pyros.Dying while on rocket-lawnchair-fire spawns even more rocket lawnchairs in a very complicated way of lawnchair reproduction.

They split in two for every person hit with said chair.

Only if you go into third person, and can only attack by running into people, who are instantly gibbed.

No. I DON'T code in binary. It's a pointless, overly complicated thing to do. The equivalent to constructing the Statue of Liberty out of sand.

Nope, never heard that before....... lol.on another note, I became a bag o dirt 6 posts ago!

I can maybe kind of try to help. I'm taking Java classes, and I might maybe be able to help.Can't say I've ever worked on anything graphical, let alone an entire game.

Well, If you want to look into it at least, the program I'm using is called Game Maker (v8.1), but it's got its own language. I could certainly use it later on when I get to level design, its pretty simple.

This game is going to wind up quite complex isnt it

That's what frightens me.......I am prepared, however. It will just take a while. A long while....

Ponies, yes, but not an oversaturation of ponies, mmmkay?

Yes. This is my thought. I'll put them in, but they can't be everywhere....

Not powerups: UPGRADES.Kinda like class mods in Borderlands, but they give different effects based on the weapon they're used on.Shotgun with Orbiting Fire ignites targets, Darwin's Danger Shield makes a flame aura that hurt nearby peoples.Or maybe I'm just getting too complicated here.

Actually, no, thats not too complicated at all, actually. However, they would have to be their own weapons, ot would be to difficult to do that to existing ones.

Is there any way to implement that as a specific item?Fighting them while invulnerable sounds boring, but some weird passive item that makes you invulnerable while standing still (But takes your Primary/Secondary) would be pretty interesting.

Yes, that could be a specific item, but I was planning on only applying it to spycrabs anyway. Also, they still move toward you, and just make a giant cluser of them around you, so you'll have top move a bit to attack them all.

Ya, those sound good!

Also, a bit of feedback: I just found a bug that won't let spycrabs hurt you until you move. Like if you stand still, you wont take damage. Keep or fix?

Compression blast.UNLOCK IDEAS;<name>A throwable axeYou got infinite of themThey deal 50 damage eachCan be spammed(Weapons got ammo right?)Also;Top hat+100% stylishnessTuxedo+50% stylishnessCane+75% stylishnessMonocle+200% stylishnessSET BONUS+1000% stylishness, you can now walk through enemies with no fear of getting attacked by those lowly creatures, they will instantly see you are a stylish person, and will not even dare dirtying up your clothes.Stylishness should replace armor.

Ha, that's hilarious! And thanks for reminding me about the compression blast, I almost forgot. Also, to simplify things a bit, weapons do not have ammo. (Instead, I'll tweak the reload speeds and damage.)

Where are the robot vaginas?!

They're coming, be patient! They're next on my list.

Great ideas, keep em' comin! By the way, I've finished all of the pyros stock weapons!:

alright, i was planning on making all the stock stuff be made by mannco, and anything you guys come up with will be "made" by that person. sound good? (only straight stock is considered stock, i would like any unlocks to be new ideas. )

That would be great if he actually got that detailed lolOh god I love borderlands

I could actually do that... I'm working on the item schema now, as a matter of fact.

I would like to be featured as some sort of golden helmet

Alright. Great, now I have to add hats.... DO YOU REALIZE YOU JUST ADDED 2 YEARS ON TO THIS PROJECT!?

(Im kidding, of course, I was planning on them...)

Also, AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

SOOO Can I be in it?There's a reward if I am as a boss/character, preferably boss.

Yes, you may be in it. Just let me know what you want to be/do.

Indeed, twas fun. We should certainly do it again, though, with as many people as we can fit into the elevator!

It should be like Left 4 Dead's system. Timeout until something helps you (Teammate, Necro Post, whatever).Coming back from Timeout will revive you with 1/2 health. Heal yourself to high health (Enough to put you "In Good Standing") and you'll be all right. This could be a simple boolean marker that ticks when your health is maybe 80%.If you can't properly heal yourself and you Timeout, your health is again set to 1/2 health, and you are "In Danger of Ban". The only way to fix this is to heal yourself up to the 80% mark. If you do so, you aren't in danger any more and it's like your death streak never happened.If you can't heal yourself properly and you are downed a third time, you're dead no questions asked.

Ah, I see. Ya, that would be pretty simple to implement too. You would probably have to start with three thread resurectors, then buy more. Also, the spycrab animations are hilarious. I wish I could export to gifs, but I guess itll have to wait until the next video.

Ya, that could work...

Also, say hello to the first recuring enemy: the spycrab!

I don't see any robot vaginas.

trust me, theyll be there...

Looking over these posts, I whipped up a quick example HUD.

Should I change the "BANNED" into "Sitting in timeout" when you die, then you can respawn a couple times, like 3-ish. After that, your banned?

(also, sorry for the spelling...)

I'm joining now, but its downloading a ton of stuff. If im not there when we start, can someone push me in the elevator?
