Trench Run Trench Run Build 10 – Engineer tweaks, coin changes, more costumes

It'd be possible but it'd kinda make the frisbee pointless ;)

 

Hey, Geti, are you following some research as a guide for the word mangling, or are you just eyeballing it? If the latter, gg; the vowel drift seems pretty spot on.

 

The vowel swaps are just random :) If there's some realistic basis I should be following I'd be happy to have a link, and happier with a simple table ;)

 

Ugh, you mean I'd have to actually dig out my text books and look things up? Such effort.

If I catch a spare moment tomorrow I'll have a hash at extracting some guidelines you could follow (a full table might be stretching it, haha, but we'll see) instead of doing the normal thing (booting up WC3--I've been on a nostalgia bent recently). Otherwise/in the meantime, here's a linky that might prove helpful (or not, depending on how much you enjoy linguistics :^)): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3512114/

 

I've adjusted the frequencies a little as a result of the linguistics paper.


Working on the drunk shading today. Still needs some work but I wasn't happy with all the pixel jumping and it being so regular. Also got rid of the extra warping when the camera moves around. Considering increasing the distortion amount while moving.

 

Welp, sorry, never got to that table. Yesterday and today have been full-tilt running around chasing up depreciation stuff so I can get the BAS in on time. Glad the paper was helpful though. :3

How many drinks under are you in that .gif? It looks pleasantly wonky/challenging w/o being unplayable--the unevenness seems better, ascetics-wise.

 

I think that was 20 drinks, ie the absolute maximum. It's indeed semi-playable, though especially for sniping and arcing shots you're at a fair disadvantage. I might need to mess it up a bit more so it's more silly at the high ranges but it's interesting enough thematically without just blending the screen. Bit of a delicate balance, but there's more to work on than just the boozing as well.

The game might be on steam sooner than you'd think :)

 

This is not an improvement

And yeah we'll be doing the same thing as with KAG - steam keys for supporters so there's no reason not to buy ahead of time ;) really what we need is more players there, as when the lobby is a ghost town it loses a lot of its fun.

 

Sometimes the kit drops have a mean sense of humour


Working on commando slashing today. its still less useful than I'd like, but it now teleports you forward instead of setting your speed, and is guaranteed not to jam you inside a wall. It can also be aimed up and down, based on what directions you're pressing (for those playing on gamepad and not binding "jump" and "up" the same, its bound to up).

This allows more sneaky movement and allows better attacking up and down hills, higher jumps, and some otherwise-impossible dodges (instant changes in position and all that) though it's still very very situational.

I'll work on hitreg for it a little more if I get time.

There's also been work on pets (and more to come)

 

Good grief; that sounds painfully delicious. I think... I think I'm crying. Damn this war my terrible internet.

 

daww look at all those cute animals :D
