More Baddie Fun

Update!

So, I’ve gone and opened up Squiggleville for general use in the baddie beta, and also added a few new things. The Baddie Beta and everything else I’ve added has been moved into a ‘Behind the Curtain’ level, the newest there is a test level that I built while testing out the new collision. Hopefully you’ll be able to see what I’ve changed, and how it plays differently (as well as lots of Snailshell bugs, sorry!), as well as a few new platform tests which I find particularly neat (and took a long time to build!). If anyone’s interested in the actual changes and code behind the update, I can make a video on it later or something, though either way, we’re way past due for a video.

If anyone finds bugs in any level, please EMAIL me the replay, DON’T post it in the comments!

Sneak Peak Beta

Got some new additions to the baddie arena. This should be the last update before I put the arena into the greater Sneak Peek, and everyone will be able to play with the newest changes.

Added a few new baddies. I’m not sure if I’ll be taking any more baddie submissions, if something awesome comes my way, I’ll certainly throw it in, I’ll just have to be a bit more picky this time.

Lots of subtle little changes in the combat, so you might not feel anything in particular, but everything should feel a little more solid, and scores should go up a tad. Experimenting with a little health bar, and a bit of an auto lunge, and a few more accurate ways of auto aiming the combat.

Since I’ve said I’ll be adding something extra to the Sneak Peek, and I always say that I want everyone to know more about what goes on behind the scenes, I’m thinking of adding a few of the test levels that I use to try out new code and check for bugs. Should be a fun peek behind the curtain, maybe it’ll give everyone an insight on the parts of the game making process that don’t make it into the final release.

Oh right, something much bigger but very very boring, I’ve added some code to compress the replay arrays a tremendous amount. Once I unleash the new collision on to Squiggleville, I have a feeling that lots of replays will need to be sent so that I can squash all the new awesome bugs I created. A few fixes to the ledge hanging code, also boring, still a little buggy 🙁

As a tiny bonus, I’ll let everyone see the progress I’ve made with swimming. Lots of little things to make the water feel more alive, just a few new animations, you’ll see soon enough!

And again, so many thanks to everyone who submitted baddies to make combat debugging a little less horribly boring!

    @ICARAX: Ik… 🙁 Gah, there’s no news, nothing to discuss anymore, and no point asking Brad questions since he’s not answering them…

    And we don’t even know what we are waiting for or what to expect…

    To describe all of this with a single word: Boring…

    Maybe I should go back to origami, or read a book, or maybe draw something, or actually do something useful… :/

    @Pencilmaster, wrong, more he’s on the internet means the more hes using his compute means the more he’s working. A huge break like this means hes away from his computer,thus not working as much on w3, either that or hes developed OCD. :/

  3. KCreator79

    Right now I’m actually reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in english of course 😛

    I was almost stunned when one of the employees in the library told me that the english version of the harry potter series wasn’t requested at all… then had even putted some of the older harry potter books in the magazine… 😮

    haha, true, unless he isnt looking at this site at all, and just working on W3..? the other two options are that he is busy with RL, or he has developed OCD like you said.. which may not be the case. 😛

    @The Cat Guy: LOL, agreed.

  5. ICARAX

    I was about to give you a PM!!! How IRONIC IS THAT!!! 😀

    since that randomly occured, a special mr green moment!!

    Brought to you by the Mayor of Squiggleville!
    ________________________________________________________________

    ICARAX: HEY APPLEWARRIOR!! LONG TIME NO SEE!! 😀

    Mr Green: Yeah, long time no see Applewarrior!

    Mr. Red: Yeah, long time no see Applewarrior!!

    Applewarrior: *gasps* you– you– you just called me by my REAL NAME!! This calls for a celebration! With Cake!! 😀

    Mr Green and Mr Red: YEAH!! ALRIGHT Mr. Applepie!! 😀

    Applewarrior: actually, on second thought, no party.. 😆

    Mr green and Mr Red: awww… 😛

    This special Mr Green moment was brought to you by ICARAX and APPLEWARRIOR, and the Mayor of Squiggleville!

    And sponsored by: https://www.bornegames.com

    😀 hows that for a comebacker? 😀 😆 :mrgreen:

    We should continue doing this again man! 😀

  6. applewarrior

    ICARAX: hilarious!! yes we should keep doing it!!

    Pencilmaster: sure, GO WILD!!

    ___________________________________________________________________

    and now a mr green moment!

    ICARAX: so mr.red how do u like the “behind the curtain” levels of the sneak Peek?

    mr red: IDK, ask mr.green.

    Applewarrior: ummm…ok…Mr.green?

    Mr.Green: oh it’s absolutely swell, mr. appleBionicle!! i especially love the NINSPLOSION!! it really put my combat skills to the test!!

    Applewarrior: if u call me out of my name again, I’M gonna put your combat skills to the test!! SO HELP ME I’LL–

    ICARAX: WHOA!! applewarrior!! cool down!! woosaa…mr.green please try to perfect your pronunciation of applewarriors name. he’s not called applewarrior(emphasis on WARRIOR)for nothing. & as u can see he has anger-management problems.

    Mr. Green: oh… well… i didn’t mean to make u angry mr. Apple–(applewarrior clenches his fist, daring mr.green to mispronounce his name again)–Toa.

    Applewarrior: AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!
    applewarrior lunges at mr.green to fast for ICARAX to pull him back. and Then—

    —the TV screen goes to static for a few seconds and then shows a still picture with elevator music in the Background. it says

    “We are suffering some technical difficulties, please stay tuned for more of:”A Mr.green Moment” Brought to you by the Mayor of Squiggleville.

    @Atilioo: Huh…? It’s hard to understand what you are saying when you are using google translate…
    But no, I’m not reading the book in portugese, I’m reading it in English… and J.K Rowling is British, not Spanish or French…

    @applewarrior: Bionicle? Haha! I remember those, I used to play with them when I was about 6-7 years old, and I LOVED them.
    I had like 40 different types of bionicles, my favourite one being Toa Lewa 😛

    @ICARAX: While I was writing this, I just checked the bionicle wiki (i didn’t even know there was a bionicle wiki until now xP) just to browse through some of it, when I saw the list over different makutas… and on that list was a makuta called Icarax… 😮
    So was it just a coincidence, or are you a fan of bionicle too? And if so, that’s why chose ICARAX as your name on bornegames, because of him, Icarax the makuta, right? 😛

    (You have probably no idea what i’m even talking about right now xP)

    actually, i used to be obsessed with bionicle. so when i started to make accounts for stuff, ICARAX was the “new” bionicle. so i liked that name, use that stuff. but also what sausagefanclub said was right, i had a nickname that was all-too-similar, which is another reason why i like the name so much.
    but yeah, i used to love bionicle.. 😛

    @Applewarrior:

    continued moment:

    The elevator disappears, and you see Applewarrior facing off mr green. you hear a lot of beeping coming from both mouths. then, mr. green says, Are you ready applewarrior? Applewarrior drops his sword and says, you called me my name!

    to be continued…

    and a PM is something on the forum. its like an email. 😀

  9. Pencilmaster

    So I am gonna do now my first Mr. Green and Mr. Red Moment!
    ______________________________________________________________

    ICARAX: So, Mr. Green, when do you think World 3 Flash is out?
    Mr. Green: I dont know. Maybe soon.
    Pencilmaster: Mr. Red, can you now speak appleWARRIORs name yet?
    Mr. Red: Of course, I can know speak Applefighters name!
    Applewarrior: APPLE W-A-R-R-I-O-R!
    mr. Red: shut up, Appleninja.
    ICARAX: LOLOLOLOL
    Pencilmaster: *Grabs Pencil* Hold on Mr. Red! * Erases Mr. Red with the Eraser on the pencil* Ha!
    *Mr. Red enters room* Mr Red: That was just a robot!
    Applewarrior: Oh god.

    @off topic… Uh.. You do know we weren’t just making randomness… We call it the mr green moments. You don’t remember when me and applewarrior used to do it? :-/

    But you made me lol nonetheless. 🙂 😀

    IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Oops,wasn’t supposed to post that.

  17. ICARAX

    BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    thats how to do it. sorry for breaking the page, but it was necessary.

  18. offtopic

    @KCreator79: lol! If he really does have anger problems,how about we rename him to anger pants maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan?
    Thats sure to send him over the edge.

  19. offtopic

    @redligot2009: SPAM???!!!!!!! Whaddaya mean spam?! Its justified when Brad hasn’t posted for a looooooong time,newcomer. At least accumulate some experience before going out and accusing people of things they are COMPLETELY innocent of!!!
    *huff* *huff* Oof,that felt good. Got a load of my chest for sure.
    methinks its kinda better when Brad doesn’t post for a long time,the comments transform into anger management sessions. Like what happened with FFA,i’m still very much in the dark about what his username means and also how he,and i quote”plunged the forums into darkness.”

  20. KCreator79

    @offtopic: That’s it! The reason why Brad has been gone for such a long time is because fancy pants man’s evil twin brother, angry pants, has captured fancy pants and taken over the entire world 3! And now Brad struggles to get rid of angry pants before he manages to destroy all of the levels in the game! 😮

    And Brad doesn’t dare to tell us about it, because he thinks we go nuts at him if we get to know how much damage angry pants has caused and how long it will take Brad to fix it, and maybe even blame HIM for creating angry pants and make him do all the stuff that he did!

    So that’s why he hasn’t been answering any e-mails or comment the last couple of weeks!

    Seems obvious to me!

    (but not really…)

  21. offtopic

    @KCreator79: Of course!!! Why didn’t I see it before??? It’s all becoming as clear as daylight now. This accounts for everything!! Brad’s disppearance,and…………………..umm,yeah,that’s about all I can think of right now. But,anyways,we have to help Brad!!
    Everybody,post what your superpowers are so you can pitch in to help him on his epcic quest againts angry pants man!!
    My superpower is…………….um….I can…..I’ll get back to you guys on that one.
    btw @Brad: I’m sure lots of people have said this,but WordPress 3.2.2 is out,and the World 3 page,Sneak peek page and the header could do with updates.

  22. KCreator79

    @offtopic: My super power would be… the ability to manipulate gravity! So I can pull things toward me and away from me, but also pull myself towards other objects and pull other objects into other objects if want that too! And the same goes to persons, not only objects 😛
    So the name of the fancy pants figure would then be gravity pants! 😉

    @Sausaugefanclub: If I were to fight against your ”be able to do almost everything except from make cake and some other stuff” pants man, I could just pull some dirt at your pants and then send you in almost the speed of sound towards a sharp rock and you would be dead xP

    And thumbs up if you think world 4 should be about angry pants! :D…
    …wait, this isn’t facebook…?
    …DAMMIT!

  23. Sausagefanclub

    @KCreator79: Yeah, but I can use my pants to make them grow into a protective bulletproof jumpsuit! If my pants are dirty, they still work, I just have to make sure I put on a fresh pair of Power Pants every day. So anyway, I use my Pants Blaster on your head and make you suffocate. But let’s not get into that, we must defeat Angry Pants! ICARAX and offtopic, what ae your powers?

    his username means Fight for america i think (he said in the forum)

    @Sausagefanclub: i also have Pants Power. but im invisible…. you never saw me… 😉

    Ummmmmmm……………….My..Power…is…….I can…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…*wake*Huh??Oh.yeah,my power……I have a portal gun,kryptonite,an honorary certificate from Starfleet Academy and I can transport myself to any location in the universe by using the power of my thought,like this*transports to where Brad is right now.Sees Brad fighting truckloads of monsters*’GO BRAD!!!WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!’ *Brad looks up,startled and is insantly devoured*”Oops,guess I shouldn’t have done that*Goes back in time* Did i mention that i can also travel back and forth through time at will?
    btw The cake is real. I just went back in time and ate it before it could be seen. Never knew chocolate could taste so different in the portal world.

  26. ICARAX

    hey davismouse! long time no see! 😛

    no it makes him… CRAZY PANTS!! I made a drawing of something called Crazy Pants in a drawing program, (i gave credit for fancy pants obviously) but it was a little different. his hair had a slight difference, not very seeable if you just take a look and pass saying oh that looks like FPM!! but there were differences and the pants were CRAAZY!!! with really odd designs. 😛 🙂

  27. KCreator79

    @ICARAX: Nice 😉

    today is exactly 1 month since brad posted his last post on bornegames… 🙁

    Gravity pants man has hair that just floats in the air like if he was underwater 😛 and he has purple/blueish shorts with waves on it! 😀
