[p18] Reelism 2 - v0.65 - Status Report (Jackpots!)

[Leglock]

IDK why I didn't knew Reelism 1 in the 1st place. Today I have a blast trying both of them. This is the closest thing I will have to roguelite game. Thank you!

Does Reelism 2 have any "Invencible" slot ability i just haven't seen yet?
I mean like Starman from Mario where you can kill anything that you touch.
Maybe with some AoE invisible circle-like thing secretly around you to make sure you kill things nearby but it slowly shrinks as time goes on, so you have to get just a little bit closer for the effect to work.

Don't think invulnerability and quad damage are in the mod at all.

If you're talking about gtfo-invincibility reel, My Tank is Fight is your friend.

The TC feels cooler than the old one.

And are you ever going to include the Super Scope as a weapon?

[Captain J]

Huh that's mine. And that reminds me, would be nice if we could get some kind of nintendo weaponry or enemy roster reel.

Also i think flying enemies like Scrag and Floaty meatball thingie float still after being squashed.

Howdy! It's been a couple of minutes.

After we put out v0.61 we decided to take some me-time to focus on our other projects and hobbies for a while, and recharge the ol' batteries. Over the last week though, we've had a sudden, unexpected burst of activity that we're hoping to collate into a new update before Xmas. Don't expect any major new features like the Jackpots, though. This one has been heavily focused on bug fixes. Specifically, the major crashes associated with the Basketball have seemingly been squashed so you can now slam and jam with impunity.


We've also been making balance tweaks to the existing stuff. Cyclo Wizards should now be less agitating, and Micro Mode is now 40% less of a death sentence. That's not to say there's any new content, though: Meet Paradise Plaza, a small map in a sundrenched island town, providing a friendly environment in which to get your Reelism sea legs.



See you in a week or so! Provided I don't get stamped to death trying to get the last Tickle Me Elmo or whatever!

It's good to hear on the update of Reelism 2, but I'm glad that the Basket ball crash glitch is finally gone.

Yo, it's about time! And i see that REELism is still on an early access. But let me tell you, in next year? This is going to be fully released with tons of new and awesome contents and fan stuff. I can feel it!

[undeadmonk354]

Well, this new update is going to be fun. And a happy 9th anniversary to Reelism!

[Captain J]

Played the new map along with other stuff and as usual, it was very great. Tho i see some minor glitches here and there but i think i found something brand new: solid props with NOBLOOD? flag like cars spawn red blood particles. I know that it can be solved by toggling it off in the option manually, but just in case.

[namsan]

ah yeah, I love the new map. I have been really amused by the fact that you can shoot down that plane.

[SoulCircle]

Paradise Plaza has easily become one of my favorite maps! I love the sheer chaos that such a small map with verticality can cause!

Hello, bug report of v0.64.
When the World's Most Boring Ghost spawns, the game crashes to the desktop.
I only confirmed it in the Boss Practice mode, but it happened twice in a row.
I use GZDOOM 4.5.0.

[morb]

Is it leaving behind any crash reports in any of the gzdoom directories?

Did this happen on any specific map?
