What about a map similar to Grove? just a general purpose picture without specific paths? Maybe the map is just an image that comes up and as you encounter new places they are added to the map?Pyroscourge wrote:Scuba Steve wrote:Thank you for the kind words.

Apologies for missing this before. I would like to try to optimize S.U.P.E.R Natural as much as possible, so I'll try my best to work on this in the future. I may just make the fog able to turn on and off, as well. Did you try turning off reflective flats in the lake? That is usually the biggest frame-rate destroyer there. Regardless, I hope you had fun for the parts where you didn't lag to death.FishyClockwork wrote: If an actor spawns something every few ticks (such as torches, smoke spawners, particle spawners, etc, etc), pretty please make use of A_CheckSightOrRange. Especially if there are several such actors on a map. The difference is small, yes, but it just makes it bearable for me.
You see, the first time I entered the Lake I gave up because the framerate was so horrible. So I took a look at the decorate and made a small patch of sorts which simply makes several "Special Effects" actors use A_CheckSightOrRange. (Some of these I'm not too sure with, since they don't spawn anything but otherwise bothered me with their use of A_Look and A_Chase. So you may ignore those.)
In case you want to see what I've done, here: (It's a bit sloppy, I admit.)
I've probably missed a few actors; I didn't want to dig too deep, didn't want to spoil myself too much.
The Avoid sounds working like that are intentional.FishyClockwork wrote: Also there's something curious about one of the creatures:Spoiler:

I hadn't considered making a map in the same style as Grove. I might actually consider that for future versions, since it's really unique, but first I'll see how the regular automap implementation that I made goes. Thank you for the suggestions, I'll keep it in mind.Scuba Steve wrote:What about a map similar to Grove? just a general purpose picture without specific paths?

Spoiler:
Spoiler:It was my attempt at making something which looks like a regular human dressed in black. It doesn't look horrible (I think), but that's not the problem here. My main gripe is that it took me ages just to do that one sprite, even when it was based off another, and there is no way I could ever make at least one rotation for his standing still set, and then furthermore, make small little edits to his arm/leg positions, putting him in different poses, etc.

This also ensures they all die and go to the remove state without leaving a bunch of messed up kill count numbers.

Spoiler:Overall, this game shows a lot of promise. I was fully immersed in the story and locale and am curious as to what lies ahead. Out of curiosity, have any of the subsequent stages been started yet or is what I played all that has been made? Either way, I anxiously look forward to the final product!
