The WIP Thread

Unless he meant "horrible" as in "holy fuck pea soup". I'd call that horrible.

Yup.

[TerminusEst13]

Created a small gameplay enhancement that makes a player go super super fast, two buttons to boost them vertically or horizontally, and a temporary additional speed/jump boost.
Good Lord this is so much fun I'm the motherfucking F-Zero of the North Star.



Now I just need to figure out what to put this in. Obstacle course? Sonic-esque race-to-the-end? Run and gun at 900 MPH? Multiplayer or singleplayer?

[Alice Jameson]

That would be interesting in a Sonic-esque mod. I'd love to try it out and goof around with it. Would be interesting to see what you make out of it.

I see you used a Zdoomwars map
But if there ever is a mapset for this, i'd play the crap out of it online. It just seems so cool.

[NiGHTMARE]

It reminds me of Metroid Prime .

[TerminusEst13]

Thank you very much.

I see you used a Zdoomwars map

ZDoom Wars maps are the only maps I know that are big enough to support movement like this (and even then it only takes a few seconds to traverse them now), but the problem is that there's not much else to do in them but run around and parkour everything.
And honestly, that's kind of the biggest question that's going to decide where to go with this project--but I'm not a good mapper at all, so.

But, well, I'm working on a proof of concept build now. Maybe I can drum up some interest and ask someone to help.

[terranova]

I think i'd be even better if you used a bit of Xaser's parkour code in it, make some kind of mapracing project thingy.

[Xaser]

I'm totally fine with that, though I feel that in fairness I should try and revise the Parkour code a bit. The jump code is stupid-ugly, for the most part.

Genetica is fun.

Genetica is fun.

Well damn.

Tried it a while back, but never bothered getting that into it (since it's 30-days=-til-death trialware and I have no funds for that stuff). Been using NeoTextureEdit instead.

Spoiler:

One of the things I made. I like it quite a lot too. (Before anyone bitches about how "glassy" it looks or whatnot, I've tried it ingame and it looks great as a translucent surface.)

[Blox]

Here's the .gtx, if someone wants a look.

Fun fact: I just opened the damn thing up, and started making this from whatever memory I had of the program.
This is the best "water" I've ever made in it.

What is that, plasma?

[NeuralStunner]

It seems somewhere between water, energy, and smoke. So it could be "magic stuff".

[FuzzballFox]

Holy shit I remember that program...must look about getting it working again now I have a decent PC~
