Example Mod Progress + Gifs!

Hey guys, progress update on the still unnamed big example mod!

Figured seeing stuff in action would be most interesting for you guys, so here are some gifs:

Building - demonstrating the “tetris” aspect
(sorry for the janky gif recording)​

The ratios of each type of tile are currently just for testing; there should be far fewer seats in the mix in the final game. Tweaking the ratio of each part is trivial, and might be moved to a config file for easy server-side configuration (for servers with 50% bomb blocks in the mix, for example).

Out of control ship​

This little “fighter” ship’s pilot was accidentally munched into one of the propellers, but it stayed active, forming a collision hazard for anyone nearby!

Tiny test torpedo​

We don’t have the bombs working just yet but with propellers and building working they’re up next, along with cannons! Ship destruction effects are currently super rudimentary but they’ll get some love in the next few days. The “pilot” here probably should have been killed in the collision.

Still to-do graphically is some way of orienting yourself properly with the world as it’s currently very difficult to understand what direction you’re moving in without a point of reference.

We’ve also got to bind a few things in the engine (like the background colour of the world) and potentially fix the parallax layers to work with rotation (though that might take too much time for this cycle, as the issue is due to the way the whole thing is coded, not a one-line bug).

As you can see progress is coming along fairly quickly, and we’re hoping to be able to have a game with the testers on friday after nutting out what needs to be done sync-wise.

Have Fun!

Testers? Pick me!
Either way looks great, should be a pretty fun game!

 

Looks awesome, nice work!

 

This looks awesome!

 

I am schoolest, illiteratest, evil, ragequitest pretty good critic, which joined the game with "Gold Hunt" ;-; and was professional in alpha, and now I am the best warrior in Beta >:{
P.S I wanna be a tester ;p
Reason: Holidays >:}

And some questions:
1) Able to make more than 2 teams?
2) Able to make more than 1 ship per team?
And also... Good physics, guys

 

Holy shit... this looks epic... o -o
I wanna be one of the awesome pants testers who get to try this epicness out, I mean seriously.. look at that.. so pretty :D

Also, as it kinda seems.. your ship is different every game, yea? Since it sorta seems that each tetris bit is different from the last with different bits in each square... kinda seems that way too me. :o

EDIT: Just noticed that's what you said in that last thread... son of a bitch xD

 

I want to be tester, i adrealy tested the BETA at the start phase and i am ready to report any bugs

 

Can you steal other people's ships?

 

First of all, this looks great. It reminds me of the Nitrome game Steamlands. Are you going to be able to scavenge parts from destroyed ships? I think that would be an interesting feature. Second, all you people clamoring to be testers, Geti and MM already have a team of talented official testers, so if you want to become one apply there at a later date (as they are currently not recruiting). They will not just pick you because you took 5 seconds to post "pik me 4 tester plox"

 

Oh we know of this. Won't hurt to try, yea? Just a small 5 second posting of "pls make meh testur" doesn't hurt anyone... except the eyes of the ones who get sick and tired of it. xD

You can actually, It was mentioned on the last posting. However, I think you can
-Here's the actual post from the DevBlogger-

 

There is no ground, only ocean. Lots and lots of ocean... unless the devs suddenly decide to add in some islands here and there. :o

 

So this is Captain Forever in KAG?

 

This looks pretty sick! Make sure to keep us updated with HOW the mod is being made as well!

 

I WANNA PLAY THIS!

 

And what about
3)binding keys to use propellers
and
4)having 3 arrows archers?
