The Mysterious "Jeep" game mode...

So I'm sure everyone has seen it. Time for speculation!

Judging by the sprites and maps and shit, it looks like a remake of Jackal for the NES.

 

Holy shit. Just check the KAG BETA folder. What kind of maps are those? And in the entities, It has "Bullet" files. And Homing? And a Jeep and a Horn. What is this?

 

What happens if you doubles click 'jeepjeep.bat' in the main KAG folder? (Can't test -- not on Windows.)
Looking to maps and sprites makes it looks like a very weird snake game mode with all kinds of stuff + your view on the game is from top.

 

Gah. When I clicked on it, it opened the normal launcher. I hit PLAY, and this stuff came up:

Spoiler

Opened to this:
Hit Esc:

Hit Servers:

I couldn't join anything so I hit esc and Quit To Menu.
It asked me to log in with the login window on that blue background screen. I did. Then it acted like the normal client though I still couldn't join anything.

E: Seems as if some of the stuff I hit f4 on didn't save so that's why some stuff is missing.
Gonna go test some more stuff in it. If I find anything interesting I'll post.

 

this is the devs preparing for the 100,000+ players to come with steam :3

 

This might be a tiny bit of an overestimate lol


OT: If I had to guess the jeep gamemode is probably just one of the devs testing out what was possible via modding, I'm not on a computer with KAG on it right now but from what others are saying that's my guess

 

soldat V2 in KAG.

 

As a tester, I can tell you that the answer lies within those cyphers and letters:
t3g0i3e
lbhef3y
ss4tt07

 

awesome

 

Three 3s!? Half L...nah

 

It is probably a modern age gamemode with cars and soldiers and helipads and stuff.
Lol jk.

 

I smell a troll

 

I found this in BaseJeep folder: http://i.imgur.com/erq6nwJ.png

 

interesting, I wasn't expecting it to be top down. I think this is either A. parts of a complete overhaul mod one of the devs made, B. the devs trolling everyone with fake files, or C. something different all together, perhaps parts of another project

 

d. getis sprites are unclear and we just dont see what it is

 

that too, but the top 3 sprites are very clearly top-down jeep/car sprites, and some of the other ones look like motercycle handles, part of a steering wheel, and the steering part of an ATV. But besides that they are unclear

 

Maybe it's another attempt at a hat by Geti... :3

 

Haven't any of you faggots played Jackal?!

 

Looks like a top down run and gun multiplayer game. The maps are all top down, the sprite is top down.

Looks like it's one shot kill

Spoiler

Code:

f32 onHit( CBlob@ this, Vec2f worldPoint, Vec2f velocity, f32 damage, CBlob@ hitterBlob, u8 customData )
{
    if (damage > 0.0f)
    {
        this.server_Die();
    }

    return 0.0f;
}

Looks like you die if you bump into shit while going too fast as well
Has upgradeable weapons that are dropped on the map after a certain amount of time I guess

Spoiler

Code:

case Upgrade::regularGun:
        sprite.SetAnimation("regularGun");
        break;
    case Upgrade::diagonalGun:
        sprite.SetAnimation("diagonalGun");
        break;
    case Upgrade::bomb:
        sprite.SetAnimation("bomb");
        break;
    case Upgrade::homingRocket:
        sprite.SetAnimation("homingRocket");
        break;
    case Upgrade::sideSaw:
        sprite.SetAnimation("sideSaw");
        break;
    default:
        break;

Code:

if ( time > this.get_u32( "last upgrades time") + spawnUpgradesInterval )
    {                            
        Vec2f[] upgrades;            
        if (map.getMarkers("upgrade", upgrades))
        {                        
            for (uint i = 0; i < upgrades.length; i++)
            {
                Vec2f pos = upgrades[i];
                const f32 tilesize = getMap().tilesize *0.5f;
                pos.x += tilesize;              
                pos.y += tilesize;
                CBlob@ blob = map.getBlobAtPosition( pos );          
                if (blob is null)
                {  
                    SpawnUpgrade( pos, 1 + Random( Upgrade::upgrade_count-1 ) );
                }
            }
        }
        this.set_u32( "last upgrades time", time );
    }

Bullets do what you think they would do with a significant life, bombs blow up after a short amount of time

Also you're a jeep


Just a generic top down kill eachother-anator to show the capabilities of the KAG engine and how much can be done, even if it looks nothing like KAG. I'm guessing the devs were working on it or had someone work on it instead of making mods downloadable via server join ;) Also sorry for an actual post and not a joke, here's one: there were these two muffins sittin in an oven. one muffin goes to the other "holy shit it's hot in here!" the other muffin goes "holy shit a talkin muffin!"

 

that sounds pretty cool. and yes i played jackal bone xD. thats the first thing it reminded me of
