fallen aces in 5 days

#

can you believe it

fierce vector

#

"Summer Sale! Also lol here's episode 2 of Aces with the whole thing sold at a discount because we love you and we hate money" or whatever

fossil pagoda
steep atlas
#

killer bean the game releases before fallen aces episode 2

#

IF

mild cliff
#

Fallen Aces taking a while to develop means we are now seeking to temporarily fill the void with other stuff while he we keep on waiting

#

Never hurts to play other games while waiting for one to update I say. Especially other indies

#

Sure hope people enjoyed Mouse PI enough while waiting

fossil pagoda
mild cliff
#

It's good to try other things tho, even if they're not remotely similar, no? I just remember people here enjoying the noir aesthetic, and it just happened to release within that waiting timeframe

#

It's not the same thing, but it's vaguely reminiscent enough for some people to accept it while waiting

#

Just something to do while waiting basically

forest ledge
#

But its a good game

exotic whale
#

an enemy concept came into my mind and i might visualise him when i get home

mild cliff
#

Oh nice

lean warren
#

Pump shotgun mook 🙏

exotic whale
#

its finished

#

looks good but doesn't really follow the fallen aces artstyle that much

mild cliff
#

That's okay

exotic whale
#

pool shark

#

his role is being a melee enemy with a significantly longer attack range due to his choice of weapon, the pool cue

#

his long range allows him to attack while another enemy is in front of him, using said enemy as a meatshield while still being able to damage mike

#

on death, he drops a broken pool cue (regular pool cue if chopped) and 0-2 pool balls

lean warren
#

OOO. I like this. He would be one like some wealthy smug member of the gang that was too good for typically work and can be found in establishments

tranquil mirage
#

i like pool cue sounds when you hit with it

exotic whale
#

this is very prominent in barred fences such as this one

lean warren
#

I REALLY like this idea

smoky gull
exotic whale
#

think of him as a spear enemy with a 30's crime-ridden america coat of paint applied to him

lean warren
#

I think he could be some sort of bookie or attendant at a bar or establishment

exotic whale
#

yeah the design is pretty versatile

#

he isn't explicitly meant to resemble a pool player

#

just a guy who dresses nice

#

and has a lot of mustache wax

fossil pagoda
mild cliff
#

very important, adds to the drip

frigid trench
#

If you punch him in the face enough times you ruin the stache and he goes into a rage state

mild cliff
#

he doesn't get mad when you hit him only when his stache is ruined

frigid trench
#

"My facial hair!"

exotic whale
#

insulting a man's stache be worse than insulting his mother

mild cliff
#

you can get rid of your mother but your STACHE??? that's personal

exotic whale
lean warren
#

I think he should have ranked attack always except when he is angry

#

When he gets pissed he breaks the pool cue two and runs at you trying to shank you with the splinters

lean warren
#

I was thinking of something like "YOU FUCKING LITTLE SHIT! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I SPENT ON THAT WAX??"

exotic whale
#

that works too

lean warren
#

The animation i had in mind wa he feels his face and then his face turns bright red, flails his arms about and then breaks the cue. and his voice changes

exotic whale
#

and steam coming out of his ears while a teapot whistle sound plays

lean warren
#

I feel like that might be too much for an easy occurrence for smacking a guy in the face

#

Maybe if he gets wet then the moustache gets fucked

mild cliff
#

i don't think the enemies really can get wet?

lean warren
#

Hmm true

#

Like if he gets in the rain?

#

Could add a new value specifically for him

#

Like I would assume pool shark is just found indoors at bars and clubs

exotic whale
#

correct

#

bar fights tend to be crowded

#

so his ability to attack from behind enemies is valuable there

lean warren
#

It would be cool if they added the ability to drench someone in whiskey by throwing a full bottle and then lighting them on fire

#

I'm imagining a custom moustache burning animation

mild cliff
#

that sounds a little advanced

#

we should see how the newer enemies behave to be sure we're not going too offrails

#

but the ideas sound really fun

exotic whale
#

but at his core without all the wacky mustache stuff, pool shark is pretty grounded

mild cliff
#

attacks specifically from behind enemies

#

avoids combat that is too close

frigid trench
#

For sure 👍

lean warren
#

He would need AI to want to always be behind other goons

mild cliff
#

he's basically a zoner, no?

#

like always needs to establish distance between you and him so he can poke you

#

but he gets rather weak if you get too close

lean warren
#

Maybe give him some sort of 'get off me' tool

mild cliff
#

oh def

lean warren
#

Nothing strong

mild cliff
#

like a sort of shoving back attack?

lean warren
#

He holds the cue with both hands horizontally and pushed you away

exotic whale
#

yes thats what i had in mind

lean warren
#

Or he does a kick

#

Maybe he can alternate between kick and cue shove

mild cliff
#

if he does do the kick i sure hope he knows how to kick, or at least kicks better than the goons, not for us but for himself

#

it'd be way funnier if his kick was just as sloppy as the goons' tho

exotic whale
#

he wouldn't want to kick

#

not with those nice shoes on

mild cliff
#

def

#

no blood on these nice new shoes

#

maybe he can kick only if he's at very low health?

lean warren
#

He should have dialogue about being disgusted if he walks in diesel

mild cliff
#

"ugh, i barely bought these!" or something like that

lean warren
#

Or having food throw at him

#

What are the different accents of North East USA

mild cliff
#

if he does kick only at low health then it should make a little more damage than the horizontal pool cue, just to respect the idea of lower health = enemy becomes more dangerous

lean warren
#

Mmm. I feel like he should be weaker

#

Like he is actually struggling

exotic whale
mild cliff
#

yeah i wanted to say

exotic whale
#

only drop it

lean warren
#

I meant like the apple core and banana peel

exotic whale
lean warren
#

"Was that a goddamn half eaten fruit? What is wrong with you? Fucking low life!"

exotic whale
#

i imagine him to be snobbish, not as much as malone but also not a psychopath

mild cliff
# lean warren Like he is actually struggling

makes sense, but if the attack is weaker wouldn't it make more sense to drop it for efficiency's sake? adding a weaker, desperation attack sounds good but it should make sense why it's weaker when conditionally lower health means more dangerous attacks

#

maybe it's supposed to be bait? like he does that weak kick but immediately after stabs you?

lean warren
#

I was thinking that the cue shove does dmg but doesn't push as much, but the kick does a little stun

exotic whale
#

good lord please no stuns

#

losing controls even for a second in a big fight can lead to like 8 goons getting a free hit on you

lean warren
#

Not like bird tweeting stun but like just being shoved back and having quarter of a second 'shoved back' animation

mild cliff
lean warren
#

He seems like a money chaser

#

Made lots of money from pool and then joined the mob to make even more money

exotic whale
mild cliff
#

yeah def

lean warren
#

This seems like a very promising concept

#

Trey! Take some notes!

exotic whale
#

glad you people like it

mild cliff
lean warren
#

What do youse think of this character

exotic whale
frigid trench
#

I think it would be pretty funny if your in this massive brawl then Mike just gets an 8-ball to the dome

exotic whale
#

what does he do?

lean warren
#

I envisioned him to have a shotgun

mild cliff
#

like 1rst person cameras are significantly more restrictive than 3rd person, so there's an inherent difficulty to combat

lean warren
#

Not the double barrel. The pump

fossil pagoda
mild cliff
#

oh shit, new shotgun enemy

exotic whale
lean warren
#

I kinda wanted him to use an auto shotgun and have him do actual dodges

fossil pagoda
#

since it'd just be shotty again but with a bigger gun

mild cliff
fossil pagoda
lean warren
#

The artist i got to do that made him seem more 'cowboy' than I wanted

#

He was supposed to be closer to pistol mook

#

But more loner and arsehole

#

And less classy

exotic whale
#

the later we go in the game the more complicated enemies we'll encounter

mild cliff
#

amazing!

#

that sure sounds like good level design and game balancing to me!

fossil pagoda
lean warren
#

Run and gun

exotic whale
#

in the trailer

lean warren
#

He seems like he would be a genuine threat

#

Shotgun would be fucking dangerous

mild cliff
#

@fossil pagoda mod where all the enemies are shorty and shotty

#

just like the mgm mod

lean warren
#

Genius

fossil pagoda
lean warren
#

Shifting gears but its all sniping mooks

mild cliff
#

nah that makes all of the trapwires actually useless

fossil pagoda
#

because the enemies literally spawn out of bounds

lean warren
fossil pagoda
mild cliff
#

Mike bends the rule of reality

harsh verge
#

These aces sure have uhhh disappeared down the hole

alpine thicket
#

Trey “Mike” Powell, extremely important question me have:
How many Shorties can fit in a clown car?

lean warren
#

How many shorties to buy tiktok

frigid trench
lean warren
#

Scuba diver enemy?

mild cliff
#

"there is no supernatural elements to fallen aces" meanwhile Mike out here bending reality and traversing walls and bounds invisible to the average Umburghian:

lean warren
#

That uses harpoon

exotic whale
mild cliff
lean warren
#

Actually yeah

#

I would hate it if there was an entire underwater level

#

I always hate them

mild cliff
#

i have no idea how that would happen within the setting of the aces

lean warren
lean warren
exotic whale
mild cliff
#

Glassjaw builds rapture before rapture

exotic whale
#

you barely see sharks, even in workshop levels

#

no reason to make another new enemy for this

lean warren
#

Sharks are good enough anyway

mild cliff
#

yeah

lean warren
#

The real combat is on land anyway

#

Sharks are essentially an environmental obstacle

mild cliff
#

still no boat/ship custom level tho, no? i know Trey suggested the idea a couple of time iirc

frigid trench
#

Make it a submarine level, like the first indiana jones movie

lean warren
#

A large cargo ship would be fun

lean warren
#

Knocking off his hat does something

mild cliff
#

or maybe you could just reuse the chapter 2 ship textures

exotic whale
#

oh wait, there's already one

mild cliff
lean warren
#

Yknow a 'torturer' enemy would be cool

covert agate
lean warren
#

They guy that gets the info out of the informants and stuff

spice gorge
#

with them counting as half of an enemy, I'd say twice as much as regular goons

mild cliff
#

except after the game over there's a short walking sim section where Mike talks to Pete's "ghost" and he just shoves back his grief deeper

What's the unofficial unit name called again

exotic whale
#

pool shark

lean warren
#

No i meant measuring unit

exotic whale
#

oh

mild cliff
#

meter?

exotic whale
#

uuhh i think goon units

lean warren
#

Something like that

mild cliff
#

oohhh

lean warren
#

I know bing came up with some name while back

exotic whale
#

this is a developer so we can take this as truth

mild cliff
#

one goonit, two goonits

lean warren
mild cliff
#

a palooka is one goonit and a half

alpine thicket
lean warren
#

"Im not gonna hurt ya, I just want to see what's inside"

mild cliff
#

torturer enemy who failed to get his medical license and instead reconverted to becoming a torturer because he knows WHERE to hit and HOW to hit and do it HARD

lean warren
lean warren
lean warren
#

I was also thinking of Dr Steinman from bioshock

#

"SEMEN THERE IS SEMEN EVERYWHERE"

mild cliff
#

i'll let you know as someone who wants to become an artistic anatomy teacher that people who learn anatomy in general probably are aware of so many ways to kill someone thanks to their knowledge of how utterly flawed the human body is and how that can be abused

lean warren
#

Soft fleshy bit

#

Armpits are very soft

#

Bit between yer collar bone

#

Tum tum

lean warren
mild cliff
#

the anatomy teacher i want to start tutoring told us a couple of fun things about the human body the first time i had him as a teacher and it's weirdly fascinating

lean warren
#

Idle dialogue "I'll fucking show em, they don't understand my genius."

mild cliff
#

does he also use illegal drugs to sedate his victims

lean warren
#

Maybe the doctor should have transatlantic accent

mild cliff
#

that has to be a given

exotic whale
mild cliff
lean warren
#

Cause sorta posh fallen from grace

#

Failed med school cuz too crazy

mild cliff
#

oh!!! makes sense

lean warren
mild cliff
#

like the transatlantic accent is a remainder of his previous glory

#

one of the only things he has left from that era

lean warren
#

He was too insane and was stealing bodies from the morgue to do tests on

#

So he got kicked out of med school

#

The mob needs insane people with good understanding of the body as a torturer

#

So he ended up there

#

Someone should make med torturer enemy now

mild cliff
#

if not insane at least morally corrupt, or uncaring of all morals

exotic whale
#

look at the architect goon

mild cliff
lean warren
#

I do really want an enemy that can do big dodges similar to mike

mild cliff
#

the architect chose it because he enjoyed it, but the pipe mook might have joined it out of necessity

lean warren
#

I assumed the cops would do something similar

mild cliff
#

i mean they might? we don't know yet

exotic whale
#

if we count headcanons, the mgm served in the army and following the end of the great border war, was only left with his skills with firearms

exotic whale
#

and joined the mob

lean warren
#

I imagined machine gun mook to be involved with illicit activity for large part of his life

#

Like all the way from child hood

mild cliff
# exotic whale so he had to use them

kinda was betrayed by his country and had to find a way to survive, somehow that can become a commentary on how shitty veterans were and still are treated by the countries they served

exotic whale
mild cliff
lean warren
#

Maybe both

#

There were other routes but illicit was the most profitable compared to the other options

lean warren
#

Hmmmm. I don't really want him to just be cowboy archetype

exotic whale
lean warren
#

Its supposed to be scar

exotic whale
#

oh

lean warren
#

I intended for it to be those German fencing scars but artist tried other stuff

#

The guy I got to draw this is till working in it actually

#

That's justa draft

mild cliff
# lean warren There were other routes but illicit was the most profitable compared to the othe...

like, maybe he came from a fucked up abusive home, ended up joining local gangs while being """homeschooled""" just to have SOME way to be with people and live an okay life, before deciding to join the army as an attempt to become a better man, fight for his country, but then was thoroughly let down and treated like shit so he just gave up trying to be a lawful citizen and joined the mob

lean warren
#

I can pull up my original sketch if youse want

exotic whale
#

a draft yet still looks awesome

mild cliff
#

yes!!

exotic whale
lean warren
#

I'm shit at drawing

exotic whale
#

nice shoes

lean warren
#

They are the only part that i liked about it

exotic whale
# lean warren

i can see the vaguely-shotgun shape at the eraser marks

mild cliff
#

you tried, i think this is enough of a base for an artist to pick up on if you give them a couple more refs or a moodboard

lean warren
#

Yeah me sent them a couple of other images

#

Then they went off. It was kinda fun

exotic whale
lean warren
#

He is supposed to have this shotgun in my head

mild cliff
#

and if you want to be precise, you can add specific tidbits about his background and personality, if the artist knows about those elements it could make the design even more interesting

lean warren
#

Ah true!

#

I did tell them it was fallen aces inspired

#

Their name is SmokeyJo btw

#

They said they were thinking of starting a full on commission service

#

I'm their first commission really

mild cliff
#

aww that's sweet!

#

hope it goes well for them

#

their style is very cool

lean warren
#

I agree

#

Not sure if I seen much like it

exotic whale
mild cliff
#

poor guy (i say about a guy who kills people with a tommy gun)

lean warren
#

I really like dialogue in fallen aces

#

It gives soo much character

exotic whale
#

agreed

lean warren
#

"Stupid goddamn morons, I'm the only one with any brains around here"

#

Bit late to the party but I have deduced that the goons possibly have a different sprite for being knocked over compared to being knocked out

#

So yes the goons DO have more sprites and I'm happy about that

mild cliff
#

not sure if it's okay to ping everyone involved but here are some doodles did based on the enemies discussed

i tried to make the torturer guy into an ugly mfer but it might be a little too? cartoonish? idk

that there

is a color

valid shale
#

ah shit it looks way too familiar to the GW dev color in context

#

I'd give up trying to come up with more colors and just color all games' devs with the same color because I'm also lazy

#

though you only have so many differentiable colors so idk

#

the server's run out of them already, it seems

#

violet blue is kinda unused but it's also hard to read because blue isn't very bright

dev will be shit brown

#

all devs having the same color would make sense in my opinion

#

or we should develop eyes that sense a fourth color channel

mighty folio
#

Yeah but that’d be boring

valid shale
#

also simple

#

but we could also consider ditching colored community ranks but that'd be sad, wouldn't it?

#

I've tried making them more similar though

glass jay
#

we will figure something out. dev colors are our last concern (if it even qualifies as one)

I love the whole jazz stuff that fits with the setting

Will force you to change playstyle maybe

honestly it makes me think of dark messiah in the amount of interactions in the environment plus all of the melee

What's that one game with the tazer that completely ruins the combat system?

Artstyle reminds me of project downfall

wanton hull

artstyle reminds me of archer and jazzpunk

like kicking someone into a train or whatever is totally a dark messiah "kick the enemy into spikes" type of thing

#

I love it

#

I know kicks from "fistful of frags"

#

Nice combo tool + really messes up enemy aim

#

I like how it matters where you hit someone

#

YES

#

that's partly what reminded me of dark messiah

kinda

#

Stabbing someone in the throat or kicking someone in the cock and balls to stun them

This is labeled an Immersive sim. If you are a fan of Immersive Sim things are looking very very bright with this, Gloomwood, and Graven on the horizon.

It's like Action Doom but with Mafia and CBT

Also resized the canvas size, so it should display better

I'll take it!

Nice

Btw, is there any way i can get the trailer in a higher res? The emote is made from a screengrab on the video in 1080p, but it's still quite small

AFAIK the source footage is 1080p

#

Wouldn't make much difference

Yeah, even without youtube compression, wouldn't be much of an improvement

For emote purposes, this is fine. They show up clearly and look good

It might help to salvage the movie, much like with the director's cut and final cut versions of Blade Runner.
