Scripting Build Videos

no good :(

 

Notch climbing is out in scirpting. Same goes for all vertical team-only movement.
What annoys me is you are already taking it for granted that this ia bad change while you haven't even played the game or haven't seen any video that actually shows how the game is played.
You are making assumptions without even knowing the game. It's like saying "oh I like my hot dog the way I like my wurst, with a lot of bitter mustard". While 2 of those things are very similar and for sure origin from the same thing, there is no way that a hot dog bathed in bitter mustard wouldn't taste fucking awful.
You have to stop being so attached to classic KAG because scripting is basically a new game with new physics, new rules, new quantity, new everything and comparing mechanics and gimmicks in two of those makes you just look silly.

 

Nice, but how is this going to work online?

Once the new game comes out, I'll take a serious look at the modding system to develop something in the lines of this. I want to create a singleplayer/cooperative survival game mode mod which would have a fun element of building a base, infrastructure, weapons and tools, then use them to conquer the land and defeat the impossible zombie menace either alone or with friends.

Somewhat like combining Zombie Fortress with Terraria, but different in the way that the game has an end goal. If possible, I might also look at making it persistent to some degree too(if a save/load system is possible), so you play it as an infinite adventure with a persistent character.

 

When I saw the new KAG video I..



Its everything I dreamed of and more. It will be slightly more clunky to play from observation but I feel thats a justifiable for more variety in gameplay with greater depth and the ability to mod/script much more easily.

Seeing KAG take a step in this direction is amazing, it retains its arcade like origins of being a semi button mash sidescrolling brawler but now has additional depth to allow players to make decisions within the game enviroment to work as a team and crush their enemies.

EJ, i disagree with you. no notch climbing was the most effective way to get up. without it, we would have to use ladders allowing for all teams to go up and down buildings and then what is the point of buildings? so they removed notch climbing and you have not told us what they have replaced it with. In general, it is bad because we have no idea how it will be replaced.

how can we deattach our selves from a game we are familiar with and then not judge a game that hasn't been played by the majority of players.
it seems you are only saying that, cause you must be a tester and have experienced the game

 

It's hilarious how you just did what I'd told you not to do. Don't say that things are bad just because you don't know them. And don't act like you were promised that everything owuld be explained and showed to you, you weren't.
Also, as I have tried to explain (but apparently failed), you can't REPLACE. It's not the same game, things work differently. There won't be notch climbing, there won't be another idiotic and not fitting mechanic to replace it. There will be different flow, different things to use, different gameplay solutions and different gameplay (I'm repeating myself here because it seems like you didn't notice it while watching all developement videos). You can't replace things in 1:1 here. It's not the same game.
What I'm telling you is, don't make idiotic assumptions, don't hate on anything, just wait and really, don't make suggestions now or cry over anything because you DON'T know how it looks like and, to be honest, your opinion doesn't matter. Even testers' opinion on this didn't matter, the devs are deciding how to develop their game and how to show it.

Hey, you know, buildings will function with the same purpose they have functioned for last 10 thousand years. They will prevent people from reaching your territory.
As you might have seen, there are doors. Doors can be placed in walls. You can use doors to move forth and back. I'll let you figure out the rest

That's a great question. The answer is: stop thinking it's the same game but with boats. Enjoy the things you see, stop crying because you don't understand them. What I can guarantee you right now is that stupid mechanics and solutions were all taken together, removed and everything what doesn't work properly now, was/is being reworked.


tl;dr
The devs can't actually tell you how notch climbing will be replaced because you won't understand/it will be too much leaking.

 

IT IS THE SAME GAME, if it werent the same game then name it differently
BOTH GAMES ARE RECTANGLES, JUST ONE IS A SQUARE

 

Part of me says stop the videos, they're raising the hype to an unbearable level.
The other part says FEED ME MORE!

 

I do sure hope the modding API will be in usable shape when the game comes out.

 

Yes, looks nice and smooth.

Pure awesomeness. :D

this looks amazing , but any word on server side textures/files. I would love to mod in a modern combat mode or even remake soldat in kag.

 

No, no, no.

 

yes yes yes,
would it be weird if someone saw this video and said "this video reminds me of pickles"

 

This. I wonder how much of an overhaul will be possible to do with the new engine.
Using a robust engine that (hopefully) KAG 2 will be, you could practically build completely new games with that to some extent. Now that would be awesome.

 

I just don't want to think about Terraria "This video reminds me of nothing, it's amazing and something I've never seen before" is better IMO.

 

The new woodcutting looks badass.
Hope the falling tree hurts people:D.

 

You're talking about combat, is there going to be a combat video?
I'm very sure combat will change, but good or bad, will it be like in the old builds (or similar to) or something completely new?

 

If you need a spriter, I'm in.
