You can see some don't do that, those are spawned from the top

#

There like 3 that are spawned from the right side

alpine iron
#

I wonder if you want to have them spawn on all directions.

fading python
#

Nah

alpine iron
#

I guess the top left would do then?

fading python
#

If they always spawn in the same place i can make fun shapes

#

Triangles, squares

Poligons

Of course changing their spawn position is very easy
So maybe i'm leaving that open as an command arg

Oh gosh it's the Binding of Isaac Fireflies

alpine iron
#

Well, ever since the proper bullet collision set up found in enemy_bullet.lua became a thing, I wonder if crush bullets will receive the change, with some other compensations ofc.

fading python
#

Crush bullets will keep crushing fish

#

Dollars were made around the blocking bullets thing

alpine iron
#

From the get go or not?

fading python
#

Get go

alpine iron
#

Ah, I see.

fading python
#

Food proyectiles too were made with blocking bullets in mind

#

However

Chip souls, mosquito bites and other nasty bullets require the not bullet consumer thing

alpine iron
#

I still remember you said that. :3

#

Regarding spiral bullets.

#

But that might be because you were assuming that I would use them for Touhoupus.

fading python
#

fish_dinner
And well that i had to make them with it blocking shots

#

That is why is called crush bullet

I was planning that any proyectile that breaks yours would use it

alpine iron
#

Either way, players like Notnotzaz seem to be fond with the Dollar's bullet gimmick. :3

#

As far as I remember.

fading python
#

Yeah, it's already ingrained into their identity

#

We are pass the point of full reworks like
2.1 and 3.1

#

Funny thing level x2 rework was planned before finishing x3

#

However i went with level x3 first because i think i was sick of reworking stuff

#

Back to level x4 devlog

Now with the fly finished
I may work properly with the locust now

Certain someone only really need it attacks

And boss x4 is still yet to be start

#

Then is just areas 2, 3 and 5 sprites to be done

The map

And damage phases of everyone

#

Also

Somehow

Level x4 is closest to beta level x1

#

Also fun fact, desert mission is what made this mod possible

alpine iron
#

I wonder how clay_smile

fading python
#

So, i started the mod before joining the server

Desert mission was the only source of info i had

#

So most of it bases were copied from desert mission

#

And the mod pack v1

alpine iron
frigid grotto
#

Hmmm.... What I'm gonna draw next?

fading python
#

Casinopolis source folder is inside the starter pack fish

#

But desert mission existance is what made me aware of modding

alpine iron

Makes sense.

Reworked cuttlefish again. :p

#

Mainly to have them retarget different players at random.

cool

alpine iron

More importantly, they don't target dead players anymore.

#

was thinking showing bits of boss x4 in the tesear, but i think i'm saving it

  • to get to that point it will take a while
#

imported cuttlefish changes again

also can you send the mosquito one?

fading python
#

ouch my game lagging

fading python
fading python
#

can confirm the trail behaviour is indeed the homing bulet trail

torpid hearth
fading python
#

it is actually easier to dodge than you think

torpid hearth
fading python
#

fish probably

sharp verge
#

doesn't look thaaaat Nasty tho

#

unless there are more entities on screen

#

I think it looks quite balanced otherwise

alpine iron
fading python
#

fish there no hurry

alpine iron
#

One thing to note is that it still does not have the new retargeting system.

fading python
#

alright

alpine iron
#

Either way, have you already understood how the new cuttlefish targeting system works?

alpine iron
fading python
#

awesome

alpine iron
#

It won't randomly retarget any of the two alive players for balancing purposes.

#

However, they will retarget to a different one when one player is dead.

fading python
#

anyways already exported, forgot to say

alpine iron
#

Curious if you made some changes for the ICBMs of your own.

fading python
alpine iron
#

Nice.

alpine iron
#

Also, have you gotten the ICBM changes I made in the Platypus II repo on git?

fading python
#

haven't, but if i remenber is just something about the decoys and audio

alpine iron
fading python
alpine iron
#

Forgot that defaultLayer on entities.json is a thing.

#

Anyhow, thanks. clay_heart

fading python
#

🎉

#

i mean i said it was a thing earlier

alpine iron
#

Gotcha

fading python
#

fish_dinner i'm so lazy at the moment

alpine iron
#

Anything about modding in general?

#

Either way, I very much feel you.

fading python
#

realistically there isn't a lot of stuff left,

But is just heavy stuff

  • boring polish
alpine iron
#

How about boss 4 and locust?

fading python
#

locust only has sprites, code to be done
and boss x4 needs both

#

but atleast every attack has been concepted

#

i think is a bit hard fish_dinner

#

there also a name i liked for boss x4
||road kill||

#

level x4 weirdly has green places

#

however is ironic
the place was build on a desert
making green places disrupt the ecosystem

alpine iron
#

Specially on a place that couldn't even support greeneries to begin with.

fading python
#

yup

#

i wonder what animals could live there

know is a bit of warm water deltas in a desert/canyon place

#

neo collosatropolis is such an interesting place to think

atleast collosatropolis had people there, humanity touch, just managed poorly

neo however, has no humanity, only build for profits, lacks collosatropolis only hope,
fully empty on the inside

fading python
#

i should take less time daydreaming and more time actually working on it

alpine iron
#

Best of luck then.

#

Made their I-frames more consistent.
Their I-frames will now tick down when actually on screen instead of ticking upon spawn, which resulted in I-frames seemingly being non-existent.

📎 mosquito.lua
#

Sry if I have you to import the mosquito code for the second time in a quick succession. <:3

fading python
#

When i get home i export it

#

Been working on area 2 sprites
Area 3 and 5 left

#

Once area 3 sprites are done
I may start the teaser

both trucks are a pain to fight against, since they are huge and have extreme gun power

however they only appear in the bottom part of the screen and don't move up or down

fading python
#

was re downloading version 1.0 of the mod again for, something

and i forgot there was this

Funny how it went totally unused

building_7.png
#

it was suposed to appear at the start of area 4

#

also the lights were stone uns

building_2.png
#

i guess that makes it a unique un variant

#

the rainbow star code was kinda done in 1.0 too

alpine iron
#

I reckon you still have all your old mod db versions on your computer.

fading python
#

yeah

#

last supported archived version is 2.2

#

sadly i don't have a archived version of 3.0 fish

alpine iron
#

All of its Steam Workshop builds can be downloaded individually.

#

From version 2.0 up until the latest.

fading python
#

oh cool

#

i guess having 1.0 archived is the only important one

alpine iron
#

Fair enough. :3

fading python
#

i kinda notice the building were lacking the signs so i'm adding them to area 3

image.png
sharp verge
#

WIN :)

fading python
#

sadly can't bet with cyan chips

atleast you have white and purple ones to play with, tho you need to handle them with care

alpine iron
#

White chip you say?

#

IDK what we are talking about, hehe. :3

#

😏

fading python
#

also i grabbed the old logo

nice job sneaking in the "SOON!!" in the bg

fish that was accidental

Only incidents. LMFAO

oh also, since i'm feeling like sharing assets

logao.png

the logo render

#

funny, some renders really need some hand adjustments

i wonder if you can guess all of them

#

also i think this 2 walls went unused

omg it's the lightning squid!

fading python
#

would be funny if mine squids were actual garbage containers

sharp verge
#

ngl that's the first thing that came to my mind when I first saw it haha

fading python
#

it is just a scrapped decoration for level x4, but is not a bad idea fish

sharp verge
#

not sure about the "crosshair" tbh

fading python
#

wow you got the tricky one

it is indeed the crosshair

shrimp_pistol.png
alpine iron
#

Plus, I was doing IRL stuff while I was at it.

fading python
#

well is pretty simple, besides the crosshair

alpine iron
#

I meant the crosshair in particular.

alpine iron
fading python
#

i thought it was pretty hard to guess fish_dinner

alpine iron
#

I see.

fading python
#

that's area 3 sprites dones, i think tomorrow i will record the teaser

fading python
#

i have been noticing, level 3 is kinda very short fish_dinner

#

needs expansion of the normal layout

fading python
sharp verge
#

wooooo

#

hype

alpine iron
sharp verge
#

I thought that was impossible to improve, but here we are fish

alpine iron
#

Why so?

#

I mean, it's still far from perfect, I can tell.

sharp verge
#

just a saying lol
nobody is perfect, but I meant his skills were already quite top notch imo

alpine iron
#

I suppose so.

fading python
alpine iron
#

LOL, I guess not everyone reads other users' profiles.

#

Anyway, I like how the wall of purple chips attempt to almost sandwich the player.

#

Although very dissimilar, it reminds me of how I made a wall of goldfishes before the big tick fight in my mod.

fading python
#

oh yeah those appear after [redacted] is done, as an assist

#

funny the only nasty enemy to appear in normal game

alpine iron
#

I mean I can imagine that the purple chips are [redacted]'s most trusted hench-chips, if that makes sense. :3

fading python
#

anyways that's enough to feed people for like a month

alpine iron
#

I suppose so.

#

Anyway, I think the boss should not be spoiled at all until the imminent d4.0 Workshop release.

#

At least in the public.

fading python
#

there no boss footage or mini boss footage on the video so yeah

#

-# because they are not done fish_dinner

alpine iron
fading python
#

domeship

alpine iron
fading python
#

cool

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

Remember when the idea of the chips arcing based on their trajectory was difficult?

#

Heck, in theory, this could have done without any of the beta features.

fading python
#

awesome, but when will they stop circling fish

alpine iron
#

wait( 0); spawnEntity("entity": "smallPoker", "x": 700, "y": 300, "formation": [100, 6, 60, 5, 60, 25], "speedX": -4, "speedY": 0);

torpid hearth
#

@alpine iron Hold on, I've got an idea for my Mini-boss.

What if it could appear in the background, like its flipped version, maybe during Stage 3? Then it would leave the background, and after that, in Stage 4, the Mini-Boss would show up in its unflipped model and fly really fast before disappearing into the background again.

#

Basically... Like this...

Untitled18_20260315080433.jpg
alpine iron
torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

I imagine there would be a loud jet sound before the queen flip plane flies stealthily on-screen.

#

To prevent a cheap kill through collision.

fading python
alpine iron
#

Without the need to use form 25 I reckon?

fading python
#

yeah

#

having to use 25 everytime kinda caps how many times you can use it, if we limit to 3 steps of course

alpine iron
#

Yeah, it's something I'm trying to figure out.

fading python
#

also since the teaser is done, i can publish the first screenshot i take for the level
with the new sprites

image.png
#

and this ones i take later

image.png image.png image.png
#

fully vertical icbms looks funny

#

something to note, is that super gunships and thrust ships appear a lot in the level
i like those 2, i think the game don't use them enough

alpine iron
#

True

#

Also, on an unrelated note, in my mod, those two appear more and earlier, and on top of that, Super Gunships were buffed there.

fading python
#

oh cool

#

i still have yet to finish playing that mod

alpine iron
#

Even if the mod is much harder overall. clay_grimacing

fading python
#

fish_dinner my skills aren't good yet, i died like 4509 times in the teaser alone

alpine iron
#

Teaser huh?

fading python
#

the video is called teaser

alpine iron
#

Oh, I see.

#

I thought you were referring to my mod's difficulty.

#

Apparently, you were probably talking about the planned difficulty of Level X4

fading python
#

i understimated how much synergy do level x4 enemies have

alpine iron
#

I see.

fading python
#

also the teaser is inspired in the atract demo

#

also i brought back the pre 2.1 city lights

image.png
#

but good looking

#

also this is the new trail behaviour i mentioned earlier

image.png
#

it uses the same custombehaviour data as the homing bullet

image.png
#

they yet are still affected by the day night cycle

alpine iron
#

IDK why the devs haven't gotten around to fix that.

#

ISTG, even Bon asked for that changed several times throughout her time in the server.

fading python
#

well atleast we are 1 step closer to perfect trails

#

there 2 steps that i noticed

  • the day night cycle
  • and that for some reason the trail changes when the screen moves
#

you can see that weird effect in the teaser

alpine iron
#

Would also be interested to have the width of the trail configurable.

fading python
#

only lenght

alpine iron
#

Right

alpine iron
fading python
#

you see my struggle

#

anyways hope it helps with stuff like domeships

#

or any other fancy circle ship

alpine iron
#

My idea was to have the chips loop or circle starting with their current direction.

#

Although initially successful, it does not overlap with the other potentially important factors such as radius being proportional to speed.

fading python
#

yeah i remenber you mentioned it before

fading python
alpine iron
#

I think I'm almost getting there.

#

The chip angular motion rework.

# 
    -- CIRCLE CLOCKWISE
    elseif form == 7 then
        t = t + 1
        local angularSpeed = speed / 60
        local angle = arcRad + math.min(t * angularSpeed, math.pi * 4)
        mx = math.cos(angle) * -speed
        my = -(math.sin(angle)) * -speed
fading python
#

Still looking nice

alpine iron
#

The arc per current direction doesn't actually work properly.

alpine iron
fading python
alpine iron
#

So I finally figured out how to have my arcing system be proportional to speed. In fact, it should now be similar to the original arc radius of forms 7 and 8.

image.png
#

I now only need to make it so that once a full loop has been made, the chip will cease to arc and will instead continue going to its last direction straight, without of course the need of using form 25.

alpine iron
#

First run demonstrates the old system, whereas the second uses the new system I made.

torpid hearth
#

I don't know why did I made that track...

#

I guess for the boss theme?

alpine iron
torpid hearth
#

It might fit on Boss 1?

#

I mean it has like a feel of "big thing is coming "vibe

alpine iron
torpid hearth
#

What should be name of the track?

alpine iron
#

I now understand how math.min and math.max work, but that still leaves the problem where chips don't make a full loop on certain directions.

#

Ideally, they should make full loops regardless of their initial trajectory, but I currently have no idea how and doesn't help that my brain is roasted.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

They're sleeping RN I think.

#

It's already 1:39am for them.

frigid grotto
alpine iron
#

Yes

alpine iron
#

The the angular threshold isn't finished for the new arcing system.

#

The angle / speed ratio is complete for the most part, but making a full loop before going straight is pretty janky.

I think it's safe to say d4.0 will release before April.

alpine iron
#

Undead chips...

#

Thank you beta 1.4 for this. ^^

alpine iron
#

Hope the new bonus poker chip formation is more forgiving than the orange saucers that fly past the trashballs.

fading python
#

Oh yeah i forgot about chip souls

alpine iron
#

I knew their existence, hence I made them not go toward the far left.

fading python
#

I see

#

I remember the soul chips used an outdate index

#

I wonder what other enemies could get nasty death bullets

alpine iron
#

I'm pretty sure that the minor enemies like mosquitos and flies will warrant nasty death bullets.

fading python
#

Yeah flies have planned ones

alpine iron
#

At least, that was your original plan.

fading python
#

Also flies now have 15 hp instead of 1

#

Just forgot to mention it

#

I was planning finishing level x1 nasty in 4.1
Since we have certain someone to make your life worse

alpine iron
#

I reckon certain someone will appear much earlier. :3

#

As early as level X1 on Nasty mode ofc.

fading python
#

Yeah

alpine iron
#

Since d4.0 is kinda around the corner, which path will you choose?

  • Nasty Mode Content
  • Level X5
fading python
#

Probably nasty x1 and x2

#

While i work on x5 in the side

#

Haven't really had the chance to experiment with the new features fish_dinner

#

Before d5.0 i'm planning some enemy reworks and resprite too of course

alpine iron
#

When it comes to Nasty mode level layouts, will some enemy patterns be completely replaced by "Nasty" features?

#

So as to not bloat the level time that much.

fading python
#

I had few in mind

#

Tho with most enemies that use vanilla behaviours you can't really do much

#

Which is 90% of level x1 enemies

alpine iron
#

Remember the "next level" enemies idea you've pitched before?

#

Maybe that will alleviate the issue of vanilla enemy behaviors being well, vanilla.

alpine iron
alpine iron
#

Updated list...

alpine iron
torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

For balance purposes, I'd imagine it'll fly within Layer 0, aka the foreground, and will be unable to kill the player by touch.

torpid hearth
#

@alpine iron Wait, uhh... I don't know if you see something wrong, but you know the Big Purple Un on foreground, on the first level, it has uhh... Weird puffing smoke that seems incorrect.

alpine iron
#

The clouds on the background?

torpid hearth
#

That little circle right there

It puffing a smoke, like Big Green Un on the foreground, and I guess that's an error replacement particles?

Screenshot_20260316_174118.jpg
alpine iron
#

Likely due to the smoke trail being hardcoded for these background uns.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

I reckon it can be solved giving the Purple and Cyan Uns in the background a custom Lua entity.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

It'll be more like flying through the foreground, therefore not being able to interact with the player.

#

Plus, it is still not the actual boss encounter, but rather a teaser of sorts.

alpine iron
#

Super early flip plane boss

alpine iron
#

I imagine the flip plane boss would be a glorified gate un boss in terms of movement.

#

Basically, it will go to the left slowly and will never stop.

#

It will however be susceptible to small knockback, just like a flip plane in Reclayed.

torpid hearth
# alpine iron

I already imagine a Huge Flip Plane just pass through was kinda scary fish

fading python
#

I guess the giant vanilla enemies bosses keep living in form of the nasty minibosses

alpine iron
#

I mean, Psychosquid is well, a squid that can change color and regenerate while in that color. :3

#

I have something interesting to send regarding Hannah's miniboss concept.

#

Actually, is it fine to document any dev log about that in the thread @fading python?

fading python
#

About what

alpine iron
fading python
#

Oh yeah is fine

#

The only thing i have hidden are miniboss x4 and boss x4

alpine iron
#

What if the plane launches a disco ball that continuously fire bullets in all directions?

fading python
#

Awesome

alpine iron
#

The disco ball launch will be part of the randomized main attack patterns.

#

Other proposed attack patterns as per Hannah Montana would be that it will deploy different turret types.

#

Each with their own attack pattern.

#

Kind of like the Squid Mother's laser turret, but with more finesse.

fading python
#

I guess all nasty minibosses have bouncy bullets fish

alpine iron
#

I wonder what are the plans for Nasty miniboss 5, unless MAKYUNI decides to pitch an idea for himself.

fading python
alpine iron
#

All I can say is, it would still be fundamentally similar to the current rendition of the boss.

#

The changing of colors plus the ability to regenerate are just inseparable. :3

fading python
alpine iron
#

A "Bat"-oid themed boss.

fading python
#

With some starfish attacks added

#

Boss 2 is a big gun ship and boss 4 is a boat

Boss 1 is a car boss and boss 5 is a tick boss i guess

#

Wonder what type of enemy doesn't have a boss type

You need to move it backward a bit so the light is on front

#

Also here's your casinopolis crack theory

#

The intire city where casinopolis takes place is a front for a big BIG military outpost by collosatropolis

#

The city and casino is but a meer mirage as its purpose is to be a military base

#

It would explain why the hotel and streets are comedically big

#

It's all a front

alpine iron
#

And not to mention, the city itself feels empty.

tired wolf
#

A fake paradise of gambling and leisure

alpine iron
#

Prolly to mask the fact that it's a military base

tired wolf
#

No one lives in the city but meer fleets of army's and ARMYS of ships ready to terrorize the nearby nations

#

I like to think the buildings in the city stage are meer holding places for more enemy fleet so they have storage

#

Casinopolis is like if biringan city (which is essentially the equivalent of Atlantis to Filipino people) if it was a military outpost

#

The casino isnt a casino but a meer holding place for a major weapon that collosotropolis is building

#

The enemies which look like things you would see from casinos are here so the casino is more like a casino (including the hotel)

#

It's also weird that the hotel connects to a ridiculously complex system of sewerworks which lead to the big city and which I mind you the path that connects to the sewers is extremely accessable

#

It's like it's for easy access

#

The hotel is merely but a access point for the fleets acting like the walls of a castle

#

The castle itself is the casino

tired wolf
#

And the streets are the maze like hallways

#

That conceal the throne room

#

The pipeworks is the castle courtyard and the hotel is the walls, the bastion leading in

#

Tldr: casinopolis is a military front

#

Thank you for listening to my ted talk

#

Indeed

alpine iron
#

Done with the chip code clean-up.

#

Apparently, I've done quite some things about the chips.

#

I merged the their attached reclayed turrets into their codes.

#

This is an example of a new chip custom behaviour data:

{
    "name": "bigPoker",
    "sprite": "Sprites/Enemies/chip green back",
    "behaviour": "Lua",
    "customBehaviourData": {
      "luaScript": "pokerChip",
      "type": 1,
      "turretData": {
        "bulletCount": {
          "veryEasy": 1,
          "easy": 1,
          "normal": 1,
          "hard": 1,
          "nasty": 1
        },
        "bulletSpawnDistance": 0,
        "bulletOriginOffX": 0,
        "bulletOriginOffY": 0,
        "bulletSpeed": {
          "veryEasy": 1.5,
          "easy": 1.5,
          "normal": 1.5,
          "hard": 2,
          "nasty": 2
        },
        "bulletSpreadAngle": 30,
        "bulletEntity": "enemyshot_huge_bullet"
      },
      "fireSFX": "s_enemyfire_pokerbarrage",
      "firePattern": {
        "veryEasy": [ 100 ],
        "easy": [ 100 ],
        "normal": [ 80 ],
        "hard": [ 60 ],
        "nasty": [ 40 ]
      }
    },
    "explosionEntity": "explosionMedium",
    "explosionX": 0,
    "explosionY": 0,
    "sortOrder": 1000,
    "mainDebrisEntity": "debris_green_1",
    "secondaryDebrisEntity": "debris_green_2",
    "maxHitPoints": 80,
    "isEnemy": true,
    "highlightPoints": false,
    "points": 200,
    "secondaryTargetValue": 4
  }
#

type 0 is the generic chip behaviour,
type 1 gives the chip its own aimed turret that can instantly lock onto the player.
type 2 is basically purple chip behaviour.

#

About form 29, which randomly selects any other form, I'm afraid that the soul chips will use a different form from their regular counterparts, which means in practice, you'll see the live chips releasing their souls alive.

The first choice makes the gate un feel like a menace in a humorous way.

The second one sounds like a solid metaphor toward the boss.

And then the third one, well, as the title proposal suggests, means fear of something big, that is the gate un.

#

In the process of reworking the vase entity...

#

The plan is to have the vase stand as a separate indestructible entity akin to the base of a tank or building, and then have the actual vases sit on top of the stand.

#

The vases themselves are planned to be destroyed separately.

#

Oh, and I also plan to make the following data-driven through level command args:

  • Amount of vases (from 1 up to 2 only)
  • Type per vase (in array)
  • Fruit set per vase (in array)
  • X offset per vase (in array)
#

With the code rework in mind, perhaps the sprites for the stand and all the vase types will be separated, and shall be sent here in a compressed zipped file folder.

#

That should be all for the new vase behaviour.

fading python
#

Cool

alpine iron

Appreciated the praise. ^^
Either way, do you happen to have all the separate sprites for the stand and the vases? If so, could you send them in a zipped folder?

exported all the chip and slot changes

fading python
#

also i noticed since you changed the saw sound entry, had to change both dollar turret sounds, which is done now
just reminding you in case you don't hear those sounds on the dollar fish

alpine iron
#

Oh, speaking of dollars, I managed to make the dollar code more compact. In this case, both dollars now use the same lua script as each other, though they won't be behaving identically, since stuff like "hangtime" and "backsprite" can be changed through custom behaviour data.

#

Similarly, their turret codes have been compacted into one lua script, with some configurable custom behaviour data into the mix.

#

Two fundamental gameplay changes are that they will no longer fire immediately after spawning before they use their true fire pattern, and also, the dollars will now leave sooner.

fading python
#

fish_dinner what about the circle movement?

#

they have different circle parameter

alpine iron
#

Ah, their movement.

fading python
#

should be easy as making those 2 vars into custom data too

alpine iron
#

Might as well do these myself.

#

Like, rn

#

Also, I randomly woke up at 3am in my time zone cus why not.

#

It's currently 4am for me now.

fading python
alpine iron
#

So I rummaged through older lua files, and found this:
randomint = math.random(0.04, 0.06)

#

Apparently, that thing is actually unused for certain entity behaviours like dollars.

fading python
#

most unused stuff comes from previous iterations that i forget to delete fish

alpine iron
#

I see.

fading python
#

you can see it a lot in the list of vars on top

#

it tends to have a ton of unused vars

also i see random int is from the cuttlefish code

  • add damage sprites
  • make boss roadkill sprites
  • make level x4 endless
  • make area 5 sprites
  • make a good enemy layout [hard]
#

that should be everything left i think

alpine iron
#

How about level map?

fading python
#

oh right fish
that too

alpine iron
#

Good level layouts are time-consuming for sure.

fading python
#

i'm not specially good on it fish_dinner

alpine iron
#

Also requires a somewhat wide variety of players for the QA part of the level layouts.

fading python
#

that is why d5.0 will exist

alpine iron
#

I think I spent over 2 days rearranging the layout of Level X1.

#

Back in late December.

#

And that was also the time where I still had some modding duties for Platypus Plus at the time.

#

i have still yet to finish playing platypus plus

You may notice that the spiral turrets now contain three sprites.

#

dollars are pretty hard to approach

alpine iron
#

At least they will no longer cheaply ambush the player with their initial shots on spawn like they currently do in the latest public demo release.

fading python
#

yeah

#

i think dollars are one of my favorites enemies

alpine iron
#

They are apparently not that script-heavy ngl.

fading python
#

the only issue is the lag made by the for i bullet

#

since level x4 is build ontop of level 3 removing most of the volcano and uns parts and boats really makes the level extremely short

alpine iron
#

I see.
Now I wonder what are you focusing on atm, with regards to the mod development.

fading python
#

i guess is time for boss x4

#

part of boss x4 was planned for the teaser but well, there was nothing done at the moment
-# there still nothing

alpine iron
#

That may just be my opinion, but it would be fine if the boss isn't teased at all until the inevitable d4.0 release.

fading python
#

i don't really tease bosses
well except for totally cropped screenshots that barely show anything fish

#

boss x2 and x3 only really got cropped screenshots

#

also the x stands for extra

alpine iron
#

Gotcha

Anyway, I wonder when will Platypus Reclayed v1.4 update gets released for real this time?

Pretty lucky that you usually have classes in the afternoon but none in the morning. My classes usually start from morning up until late afternoon.

Invisible enemy leak 👀

#

i did actually considered a semi invisible enemy once

#

it was the stealth ray

that would be less visible the farther you were
also it was colored black

#

is one of those enemy concepts i have done, but has no space to be here

alpine iron
#

Maybe that could be relegated to Zhark Reclayed or smth.

#

@sharp verge, looks like we have a possible enemy concept to take note of...

alpine iron
#

Assuming that the stealth ray possesses the same movement index as the standard ray.

fading python
#

probably 6 copies of the same spritesheet but lower opacity

fading python
#

also pufferfishes

alpine iron
#

Pufferfishes...
-# Not to be confused with deridiya's submission on the Design an Enemy Competition. :0

fading python
#

pufferfishes were pre lua, they were just 8 shooting starfishes

#

or was 10 shooting, i forgot

#

construction and demolition ships were pre lua too,
they evolved to be the gas pipes so tecnically they are in game

#

funnily the construction ship evolved into both the rainbow star and the gas pipe

#

so the gas pipe is related to the giant rainbow starfish
evolution can be wild

alpine iron
#

Very radical to say the least. :3

fading python
#

construction ships were scrapped several times

there was a second revision, but it ended being the gatling ship instead

#

they were also considered for level x4 and x5 but scrapped again

alpine iron
#

Fascinating

fading python
#

funny that it sprites will be scrapped forever fish

From the start that is...

it was made in the 1.0 era so yeah

i totally forgot that

#

IIRC, I think the data for Level X2 was already there probably, albeit not accessible.

Reminds me of the Interceptor boss from Air-Strike 3D.

alpine iron
#

Yep, I used that boss as an inspiration for the rocket turret. :3

#

i feel so lazy when i get to this screen

also something i notice the spinning homing turret
is kinda of an similar idea to that unused homing tick

alpine iron
#

I mean, it kinda is, although the spinning homing turret is moreso a direct nod to one of Neon's enemy ships in Amplified Annihilation.

fading python
#

i see

alpine iron
fading python
#

i remember i scrapped the homing tick due it being very random, and hard to dodge

alpine iron
#

At least a spinning turret is pretty predictable, specially for those who familiarize with its patterns.

fading python
#

still very hard to dodge

sharp verge
#

That's one of the main reasons why I suggested removing the lightnings haha

#

Could give a bit more room to dodge those

alpine iron
#

I'mma incline to agree with this. clay_smile

#

clay_grimacing i think regular lightning turrets are fully hardcoded

torpid hearth
#

Or, how about this:
The Super Turret #3, the lighting is disable. And when it's over, the lighting is back.

fading python
#

lightning might as well be the most hardcoded thing in there
talking about vanilla of course

alpine iron
#

We can always recreate lightning attack patterns with Lua. ;3

fading python
#

I would work on stuff, if there weren't constant power outages happening today fish_dinner

fading python
#

weirdly the power outage wiped boss x4 script, thanksfully it was only in the game folder build

that is why i always have a source folder

#

also why did i made such an specific number, don't think i need all of that

fading python
#

can't get this thing to line up, and is making me go insane

i give up, floating needle it is

z movements are never used by the game at all. :p

alpine iron
#

Black Queen Flip Plane's lightning guns are so powerful that they can penetrate player shields.

#

Oh, and I figured why not have the lightning attack last forever, but are placed much closer to the edges to loosen up the playzone.

Ye

#

CLAYMATIC TEAM, WE NEED A CUSTOMIZE POWERUPS, AND CUSTOMIZE SHIP STATS!!!

#

I swear this Purple Lighting as a Powerups is really cool, and probably double the amount of damage compare to Lightning.

Defo TouhouSFX.

#

And yes, the add-on is compatible with a few select mods like Casinopolis.

tribal charm
#

I see

alpine iron
#

Alright, I guess I can say that the code for the Black Queen Flip Plane is complete.

#

The custom sprites are now the only things left by this point.

fading python
#

fish laziness continues

alpine iron
#

You can do this...

torpid hearth
fading python
#

weirdly i counted 9 attacks that boss x4 has

#

i think boss x2 and x3 have like 4-5 attacks

#

if i remenber right boss x5 has like 14 attacks?

fading python
#

for psychosquid

, how does the lua turret works again? fish

#

searching what piece of code has the diffint code

#

where the hell is it

image.png
#

function OnInitialise()
diffSpeedMult = NewDiffDictFloat(0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2).Get()
end

finally found it

#

hmmm i'm not sure if you can change the firepattern itself

alpine iron
#

Fire pattern?

alpine iron
fading python
#

i mean as in change it withing the lua code

alpine iron
#

One moment...

fading python
#

idk at the moment and making an abomination, combining the cycle system with the turret targeting

#

also i'm asking you, since it seems you have more experience with the lua turret

alpine iron
#

I see. :3

#

These are probably the only things you need for your entity's targeting system.

image.png
fading python
#

right

alpine iron
#

Depending on how your Lua turret is designed, the cycle-based fire pattern code must be placed after if distance < 2 then.

#

The distance checks if the turret is in a direct line of sight with the player.

fading python
#

i forgot you were also called barrage

alpine iron
fading python
#

got it working, kinda

fading python
#

"boss x4 attacks"
-# -me

alpine iron
#

Very descriptive. >:3

#

lol

fading python
#

for a funni fact, boss x3, x4 and x5 attacks were fully conceptualized in d3.0

#

they share the same pencil sketch page
-# funnily new boss x2 is not in that page

#

is funny how much stuff predates stuff
boss x5 predates boss x3 and foward

#

during the times where level x4 was a boss rush Colosseum

the ending of level x3 was that you would get to the hidden entrance to casinopolis on the sewers but get captured and put in the colosseum

fading python
#

thinking on the mod makes me excited and working on it makes me lazy fish

alpine iron
#

Relatable...

torpid hearth
fading python
#

decided to represent each boss with a simple shapes, for fun

alpine iron
#

Added sounds for the turret spawn and despawn.

alpine iron
fading python
alpine iron
#

Plus, it helps communicate the player that the attack pattern is changing while trying to dodge bullet hell.

#

Without the sounds, chances of them getting caught off guard by what Hannah likes to call them super turrets are high.

fading python
#

i like the green missiles

alpine iron
#

The "green" missiles can one-hit kill the player regardless of active power-ups.

fading python
#

ouch

alpine iron
#

Pretty devious if you ask me. >:3

fading python
#

reminds me of certain someone

#

also i just noticed the purple home turrets

#

also the canon thing opening reminds me of the mario 64 cannon

alpine iron
fading python
#

gotta save this, to not miss it

alpine iron
#

Right now, I am searching for any potential cheese tactics for the flip plane boss, and then eliminate them.

fading python
#

what if you respawn on the back side

alpine iron
#

The player being on the right side as the flip plane is at the left side?

#

Anyway, I narrowed the gap between double shots, both for bounce and rocket turrets, so there won't be any deadzones where the player could just camp.
Even Beithir won't be able to squeeze through double missile gaps.

fading python
alpine iron
#

I could make the plane move forward rather quickly when the player is on the right side.

fading python
#

🤔

alpine iron
#

Even when the plane will continue firing at the player.

welcome back beta boss x1

It files are still in game

If i were to do a file purge, it files would probably still be in game

Also remenbering the list of minibosses again

X1 - pyschosquid
X2 - hannah

Do not tell me that "Black Queen Flip Plane" move was inspired by this 😭😭😭

I didn't, LOL.

It was totally a coincidence. :3

Y'know, since it's my mini-boss so... Here's the name of the each Super Turrets:

Super Turret #1: (New One)
Unstable Blue Plasma Ball (or U.B.P.B) [Or Psychosquid like to call it "Disco Ball"]

Super Turret #2
Rebound Pink Bullet [Somehow got replaced by Blue Plasma Bullet? Maybe.]

Super Turret #3
Rocket Barrage [It's already make sense why]

Super Turret #4
Homing Pink Machine Gun (or H.P.M.G)

alpine iron
#

What's going on?

deft cosmos
#

I just wanna say that

#

aka Road rage

#

aka level 4x

alpine iron
#

Not until the entire entity is finished. ;3

deft cosmos
#

yeah

#

for level 16 and level 17 need to wait for casinopolis

#

this is why I'll stop when level 15 is finished

deft cosmos

u guys still had this prototype?
