Platypus Casinopolis

[torpid hearth]

-# Oh wait, the Black Queen Flip Plane...

[alpine iron]

Asterisks were designed as a pseudo-vanilla enemy if that makes sense.

So I don't think there's a reason to change their fire patterns.

[haughty bone]

let's leave it that way then.

[alpine iron]

If anything, another asterisk variant would have to be made.

[torpid hearth]

I could make that thing for like a seconds...

*

Yup, that's my fanart.

[fading python]

https://tenor.com/view/fox-sniff-fox-sniff-fast-fast-fox-funny-smelly-gif-2396101249696858033

anyways

[alpine iron]

We finally did it

[fading python]

what do we won

[alpine iron]

I'm still pitching some more chip formations.

I pretty much want to get the most of their new behaviours as much as I can.

[fading python]

i do have some idea for formations

i can't think of more formations

[fading python]

chips offers so much potential for unique patterns but barely can think of any

infinite bacon but no bacon

[alpine iron]

Currently working on this.

[fading python]

it should be
circle then smart circle, chill another circle and chill

atleast that is what i have in mind of how it could be done

[fading python]

cool

somehow chill is such a powerfull tool

[fading python]

👀

[fading python]

too many balls

[alpine iron]

That was recorded on Nasty mode, LOL.

[fading python]

what about, a wall of chips, so is imposible in nasty mode

[alpine iron]

Will they fully touch the left side?

[fading python]

i guess they can be like the mine chips from x4

where they retreat backward before touching the wall

of course, this ones aren't mines

another idea, 2 yellow chips comes from the top, when hitting the ground, they instantly go up and also after a bit they are applied accelerate downward

like a jump of sorts

[fading python]

chip souls truly are the death bullet of all time

[alpine iron]

Indeed

[fading python]

not sure if this one is understandable

[alpine iron]

I think I get it.

[fading python]

there could be a big circle variation too i guess

[haughty bone]

one area with random chips and random direction
what do you think?

[fading python]

random movement kinda has it issues

[alpine iron]

Maybe some rand domeship style formation could work.

[torpid hearth]

I have a weird movement concept like this:

It's like a wave form.

Top First (Black) will make the wave
And the Second Bottom will make the wave (Red)

[fading python]

what about this one, it peeks and instantly retreat,
then go to the other side way faster
and repeat from the other side

[torpid hearth]

Wait, this is cool.

[fading python]

nother one, green one that goes around the edges

this one is a reference to certain someone

[alpine iron]

||One of 's planned movement patterns for its main boss fight I assume.||

[fading python]

||that's pretty spoilery ||

[deft cosmos]

REMAM ROAD RAGE

I decide ro make 2 hardest boss together

better than having 2 Apocalypse train

[alpine iron]

So you're enjoying making Casinopolis Level X4 more annoying, right? :3

[deft cosmos]

yes

lemme just stream it

[alpine iron]

NGL, I love those yellow chips bouncing around. ^^

I find them cute.

This but poker chips

[alpine iron]

🤔

[alpine iron]

BTW, I found a critical bug where if the fly leaves (yes it can leave after about 20 seconds), it doesn't despawn offscreen, which meant void time by the time the level script is at waitForNoEnemies().

[deft cosmos]

fly

[alpine iron]

Done

[deft cosmos]

Real

[deft cosmos]

How about Locust?

[alpine iron]

IIRC, it doesn't leave.

[alpine iron]

I have a feeling that the beans use rate would skyrocket, thanks to all those kinds of chip formations.

Tail gun too.

[fading python]

some invalids animation entries that are still in the mod

[alpine iron]

It all attributes to the fact that these are unused.

[fading python]

also some funny stuff

[alpine iron]

I honestly don't remember where to find those. :P

[fading python]

appdata, locallow claymatic games, platypus, player log

[alpine iron]

Gotcha.

Also, I think I found another game-breaking bug related to Level X4, but this time it's about ICNMs

On Easy mode, ICNMs travel at a speed of 0 when it was supposed to be 0.8.

[fading python]

[alpine iron]

However, because the DiffDict used was integer-based rather than float-based, it got rounded off to 0.

[fading python]

i noticed

gotta be a float

[alpine iron]

Ho boy, another hotfix.

The speed of all launched ICBM variants now use floats instead of ints.

[deft cosmos]

oh boi

[fading python]

can you send the 3 lua files?

[fading python]

alright

[deft cosmos]

I hope this is the last bug fix

for this level 4x one

[alpine iron]

I hope so too.

d4.1 will likely include not only some enemy reworks, but also Level X2 rework I am working on.

[fading python]

with interesting poker chip formations this time

instead of go straight do 1 step and go away

[alpine iron]

I can already imagine that Level X2 will be the least vanilla-feeling, due to the sheer prevalence of poker chips as minor enemies.

My progress so far...

[fading python]

cool

[deft cosmos]

cool patterns

[fading python]

this one is simple

and this one

is fun to paint chip patterns in paint

[alpine iron]

MS Paint?

[fading python]

also every movement is suposed to be symetrical and consistent, but my hand went off

[fading python]

yeah

[deft cosmos]

DNA ahh

[fading python]

pokerchips kinda reminds me of [generic shot em up enemies]

[alpine iron]

I guess the chips are a tribute to those classic generic shmup enemies. :3

[brave oak]

...so funny thing, level 2 doesn't work on me

[alpine iron]

A crash?

[brave oak]

yeah

even with that launch option

[alpine iron]

[brave oak]

there's a chance that it may work after restart, but that's really annoying (ik it's not your fault, though)

reclayed really doesn't like big assets, huh

awesome mod so far, though

[alpine iron]

Unfortunate

[brave oak]

yup still doesn't work on restart, that's sad

do i really have to wait for the devs to fix that load time

[alpine iron]

Team Claymatic?

As mod developers, our most feasible solution is to optimize each sprite.

To my experience, the second level loads the longest, and therefore higher chances of the game crashing for lower-end PCs.

[brave oak]

yeah the other levels don't work, either

i'm surprised it can even load the first level

my memory ram is apparently like 16gb and somehow that can't handle too much load

like am i missing something here or are specs nowdays too advanced for me

there must've been something that i don't get that may have been limiting the memory, but i guess i have to surrender for now

[fading python]

i only have an i5, and 16gb of ram too

and no crashes

[alpine iron]

Same in terms of processor, but I have 24GB ram.

No crashes either.

[brave oak]

yeah that's what why i'm confused

wonder if a reinstall would do anything, i kinda doubt it

can't believe my laptop would just lie to me and think it doesn't work like that

[torpid hearth]

Edited Ver.

[torpid hearth]

Maybe try that.

[brave oak]

i guess it's worth a shot... (i'll do it later)

[deft cosmos]

I think people with under 16 GB ram can't handle level 2 casinopolis

[fading python]

here it says 16 gb

[deft cosmos]

Need more.ram

[fading python]

download more ram free online 100% real no virus

[alpine iron]

Added Level X2 Rework Progress Report

[deft cosmos]

Do I need to spoiler 4x stuff on remam?

[alpine iron]

It's best to ask @fading python specifically.

[deft cosmos]

Cuz it seems like people haven't play the level yet

[alpine iron]

However' they are probably still sleeping.

[deft cosmos]

Like eboy

[alpine iron]

Either way, if I were you, I'll mark them as spoilers.

[deft cosmos]

He uhh donno how tf the boss 1 turned an apocalypse

[deft cosmos]

... I forgot to do it

[tribal charm]

||Boss 1’s revenge||

[fading python]

Tecnically the update is out
Is harder to avoid spoilers

However it would be appreciated

[sharp verge]

And now you sent it again xD

Either way, I agree with Tary

It's hard to avoid spoilers when something is released, but it's appreciated for them to be blurred out at least until some time has passed after the release

[deft cosmos]

Well it's an old post

Not sure you can edit the imagine your old post on discord

[sharp verge]

Nope but you can delete it and upload it again as spoiler

[deft cosmos]

Whelp u can't edit it again like message edit stuff

Oh well....

[sharp verge]

No delete option either? What the heck

That's weird

[deft cosmos]

Mobile btw

[sharp verge]

I can delete my messages on mobile tho
But my options layout seems different than yours

[deft cosmos]

U use iphone?

[sharp verge]

Oh, you're clicking on the image, not the message

[deft cosmos]

Oh now u get it

[sharp verge]

Nah, I don't have that much money xD

[deft cosmos]

U can't spoiler it

[sharp verge]

Oh nono, I know

[fading python]

Click the side of the foward to delete,

Or hold/touch

[sharp verge]

That's why I said, you gotta delete it and send it again to spoiler it

[deft cosmos]

Isn't that just normal chatting?

[sharp verge]

You can delete any of your messages

[deft cosmos]

Yes I can

But it doesnt let me edit the picture after I send it

Ehh ukw what fine

Let them have it ig

Cuz I just about to post me vs 5 of them anyway on yt

[sharp verge]

Good luck suffering xD

[deft cosmos]

Btw it crash

Well not crash it just no audio

[sharp verge]

Lmao

Well I don't think you're supposed to spawn 4 super complex bosses at once

Also probably the whole screen being covered in smog would make your PC explode

[fading python]

funnily the pokerchips are basically as complex as the mod bosses

But you see them in mass

[alpine iron]

True as hell

[deft cosmos]

what if

[alpine iron]

Purple shrimp with boxing glove-colored claws.

[fading python]

What would it change

It would just be a red shrimp

But purple

I think i missed the opportunity to have a blue shrimp

[alpine iron]

What would a blue shrimp do?

[deft cosmos]

shoot lightning

[deft cosmos]

yes

[fading python]

You really like putting the ticks turret to anything huh?

[deft cosmos]

cuz Kaizo

[alpine iron]

[fading python]

I wonder what remam will be once casinopolis ends

[alpine iron]

Platypus 2 Reclayed content.

[fading python]

That's like much later

[alpine iron]

And don't expect Bananawar to exist on REMAM due to an agreement with the creator behind it.

And as for the rest, IDK. :p

[deft cosmos]

I won't add her anyways

[deft cosmos]

I think I secretly added donkey kong music on level 12 remam

[alpine iron]

The music doesn't belong to her, so that's fine.

[fading python]

I kinda see a more playable early levels of plat 2 reclayed around the end of the year

While i see x5 and the nasty content around july august

I meant year not month

Platypus 2 reclayed tomorrow

[alpine iron]

So many people wanted Platypus 2 Reclayed, yet haven't done much to support the modders, or better yet, help the modders directly.

[fading python]

Not everyone has the skills or time to help for such a proyect

[alpine iron]

A harsh truth for sure.

[deft cosmos]

btw there's a bug with the bomb fuse

when you restart the game when it was launch it keeps the fuse sfx

quite a nickpick but it's a bit annoying

[alpine iron]

The latest hotfix should already have that fixed.

[torpid hearth]

Why this shimp has a boxing gloves? 😭😭😭

[alpine iron]

Bottom line is, I added the following code to eliminate the fuse SFX bug:

function OnDestroy()
    if loopingSFX ~= nil then loopingSFX.Stop() end
end

[deft cosmos]

ok

[deft cosmos]

ONLY ON REMAM

[alpine iron]

The OnDestroy() void wasn't added in the beta until the full release of Update 1.4

[alpine iron]

@fading python, does your enemyshot_grenade.lua contain this line of code?

[fading python]

I will check tomorrow

[alpine iron]

Perhaps you are about to take a well-deserved sleep then?

[fading python]

I'm making noodles

[alpine iron]

Ah, in preparation for your midnight snack huh? :3

-# Even though it's still not midnight yet.

[fading python]

I guess so

[deft cosmos]

casinopolis Smoke truck :
ez to beat
Remam Smoke truck :

[fading python]

Funny how there now a sprite for homing spinners

[deft cosmos]

yeah

I mean it started in remam and then implemented here

the one from remam level 12

the ez target gatling gunner

now I make it the smoke truck does it

[tribal charm]

I can see there are nuke bombs in the BG waiting for reMAM destruction 💀

[deft cosmos]

Yes

Nuke every 5 seconds

[deft cosmos]

kaizo nukes

[deft cosmos]

They snipe with random tick

[deft cosmos]

Still continues

[brave oak]

update : yeah no
i think the conclusion is that my ram just can't handle it

i looked at the memory and it stopped at 10gb when it happened, such shame

[fading python]

ancient gatling ship concepts

modern gatling ship

[deft cosmos]

Hammer head

[fading python]

and the other

[fading python]

new gatling ships

[alpine iron]

Love their visual glow-up.

[fading python]

i like the bullet casings being launched on the side

also how old is this rework?

[alpine iron]

The rework started since late February AFAIK.

[fading python]

cuttlefishes and gatling ships got the bigger glowups visually

also homing gatlings are kinda champion enemies

[alpine iron]

Champion enemies you say?

[fading python]

just i term i use, for kinda very strong enemies that aren't minibosses

[alpine iron]

I see.

[fading python]

i do count pink cuttlefish, big dollars, the 2 big trucks in it too

snake eyes too

||also i guess the big asterisk is one too||

[alpine iron]

[fading python]

the bullet casings implies other ships also have to use them

i wonder where do they go

i guess i assumed they shoot energy or something

[alpine iron]

Always has been LMAO

[fading python]

then what is the gatling ship shooting?

[alpine iron]

If it were to shoot solid bullets, they won't be as visible as energy bullets.

[fading python]

energy in a bottle

the gatling guns themselves are kinda inspired on those fishes that attach to sharks and other animals

the ones that clean stuff

[alpine iron]

Remoras, IIRC?

[fading python]

yeah

the inspiration is there since 2.1 when i made them but is not that apparent

the first idea of the gatling ships was kinda that they would hold the gatling below

[fading python]

https://tiermaker.com/create/casinopolis-enemies-19423635

made like a tierlist or stuff, for enemies

only x1 and x2 for now because my hand hurts a bit

[alpine iron]

Based on how easy or hard they are?

[fading python]

anything really

is a tierlist, you can put is as you want

[torpid hearth]

Finally.

[fading python]

i put them on how much i like them

[alpine iron]

Rather than by difficulty?

[fading python]

it can be anything

[alpine iron]

OMG I just repeated the same kind of question, LMAO.

But yeah, poor green chip.

[fading python]

added the rest of enemies

with exception of x5

[alpine iron]

For an obvious reason. >;3

Anyway, I wonder what led you into making an enemies tier list?

[fading python]

bored

also i needed an excuse to make an image for every enemy

[alpine iron]

Are there other resprites on the way other than the ones listed on your checklist?

[fading python]

boss x1 as a maybe

with the rest am sastified on how they look

also is 46 enemies listed in the tierlist

[torpid hearth]

Lemme speedrun this tier list for real quick.

[fading python]

if you add certain 2 enemies remember to spoiler it

[alpine iron]

What will be your metric when rating them?

[alpine iron]

I don't see smoke truck

[fading python]

damn it

done

so 47 enemies including mini bosses and bosses

[torpid hearth]

Based on how tough they are to defeat, how fun they are to encounter, and how very annoying they are if you're in a situation in Nasty Mode.

[fading python]

also tecnically i didn't added the nasty minibosses

[torpid hearth]

Where's my Daughter my mini-boss.

[fading python]

yeah i'm gonna add them

[torpid hearth]

Oh.

[fading python]

give me some time

[torpid hearth]

Note: It may be inaccurate because I don't really seen some gameplay of the Casinopolis Mod on YT.

[alpine iron]

It's okay.

[alpine iron]

I forgot to ask what are your metrics on "liking them"?

[fading python]

nasty minibosses added

[fading python]

design and mechanics

[alpine iron]

I see.

[alpine iron]

Fun factor included?

[fading python]

yeah that too

i forgot to add the mine chip

also added the other 3 for good measure despite them being for x5

the locust is one of my favorite enemy designs

[torpid hearth]

@alpine iron

[alpine iron]

So you do love Nasty minibosses huh? :3

[torpid hearth]

Yep, don't ask why I put the organ on the beloe one.

[alpine iron]

I think I know why. :p

[fading python]

the slot boss is funnily just a by product of nautiluses going to x3

[torpid hearth]

Okay, here's my opinion about The Organ

• It's too easy to defeat (With Beither or Wyvern) with Rockets because it's a 100% guarantee it will give you that.
• Somehow the pattern of the boss seems to be easy, and also when it's about to attack, it's just too slow, you could spam a lot of Rocket to its vulnerable state. (in my opinion)
• It's not that really fun like the rest of it, because The Organ is like a Slot Machine but Resize and slap a nametag "Boss"

[alpine iron]

The tides turn once you face it on Expert mode.

On that difficulty onwards, the organ fires more saw bullets.

Often without warning.

[alpine iron]

Anyway, I'll fix this boss fight by revising the power-up loadout.

[torpid hearth]

I mean, to be honest it could be reasonable if the Bossfight will take too long, the dragonfly will give you a rockets, if that's not enough, 100% guarantee will give you "Hotdog" powerups.

[alpine iron]

I think the fight should start slow.

With the power-ups given being of moderate power.

[fading python]

the slot boss fight is the only intances of regular powerups in x2

not counting hidden ones

[torpid hearth]

YES! Finally!

[alpine iron]

Such as fish

[fading python]

anyways
my favorite boss is the hellsquito
m favorite design is the locust
my favorite enemy is the asterisk
and my favorite hazard is the gas pipes

[torpid hearth]

Locust?

[alpine iron]

The boss version of the fly.

[torpid hearth]

@fading python I have a suggestion:

Since NotNotzaz play a nasty mode, I just realize that Chip Soul are really annoying. Even though they are defeated, their soul is still intact on their pathway, which really sucks.

So instead of their intact position, upon death, the soul chip will go to the player position of where they got killed.

So, they start at a slow pace, then fast, like a homing pink missile.

[fading python]

ehh...

[alpine iron]

The souls following their original paths were already set in stone.

That was the intention.

[torpid hearth]

Ehh... It's just my opinion thought.

[alpine iron]

Okay, time for me to continue my work on LX2A3

[fading python]

silly idea

[alpine iron]

They literally form an arrow shape.

[fading python]

formation idea

[alpine iron]

Random bullshit go movement.

Anyway, I am now closed for formation ideas on Level X2, due to the length.

[fading python]

having ideas for formation is better than not having

also they can be use elsewhere

[alpine iron]

It'd be good to plan ahead the formations for Level X5 in particular.

[deft cosmos]

Nuke is S Tier

[fading python]

you could do your own tierlist here
https://tiermaker.com/create/casinopolis-enemies-19423635

[deft cosmos]

If you wondering why I put spaz on s tier

His charging attack is great

Laser poker is the best

Idk why you guys make smoke truck

It seems useless

Until I turned it hard mode on remam

[alpine iron]

Smoke trucks are meant to support other enemies like Mega Gunships. ;p

[deft cosmos]

Their existance is useless for me

That's why I upgrade him

He can fight alone and support too

Can be both main dps and support

[alpine iron]

Fair enough.

[deft cosmos]

Btw the timer bomb ship

Ez to destroy

Red black blue and orange is uhh ez target

[deft cosmos]

Why I put shrimp on A cuz old shrimp is better

[alpine iron]

Because it does a 360 no scope?

[deft cosmos]

Yes

And I like the randomes better

I mean I had both od them

[alpine iron]

You know, you can make it so it can only fire random bullshit go sniper shots.

[deft cosmos]

And it seems like the old shrimp is way harder to spot and kill

[deft cosmos]

They start on the back

I prefer to be on front but you just don't notice it as there is a lot of enemies

[torpid hearth]

Someone name the Mad Max Boss

• Bull Armadillo.

[alpine iron]

Who did?

[tribal charm]

https://youtu.be/jpGKE6IXsTA?si=AbbzmPbpxdj82Ya8

This one?

Cuz I saw in the comments section with a comment saying: “Bull Armadillo”

I wonder what is the purpose of pink chip and uhh aqua chip

[haughty bone]

favorite bosses

-# rate on design n gameplay

[deft cosmos]

Nuke should be S

[deft cosmos]

The Apocalypse Truck

[deft cosmos]

Level 5x sneak peak

[alpine iron]

I see that most other bosses are unbalanced.

Is that true?

[haughty bone]

tbh the gate uns might be put up a lil higher. but the design does it :3

[alpine iron]

I mean, all the other bosses are at C tier I noticed.

[haughty bone]

the design is pretty awesome but the gameplay....

[alpine iron]

They're unbalanced.

And then Roadkill sits at A tier.

[haughty bone]

-# here's some re-adjusting

wait. i put the wrong boss lmfao

-# let's take it as a boss x3 :3

[elder granite]

Looks like a laser gun

[alpine iron]

I wonder what are you referencing to.

Like, which laser gun?

[tribal charm]

Nah it wormship choo-choo revenge

[alpine iron]

In the next update, vases will no longer become obligatory for kill percentage.

Do you guys like this change or not?

[torpid hearth]

Actually, that was a great change.

[fading python]

I wonder how would it be compared to the vanilla bosses

[alpine iron]

Worth noting that most vanilla bosses aren't too gimmicky with their attack patterns.
-# They're more like practical if that makes sense.

[fading python]

Boss 1 just goes back and forth with 3 turrets attached

Boss 2 is destructible

Boss 3 just goes back and forth with 3 turrets attached

Boss 4 goes in a circle and spawns either a turret or squids

And boss 5 grabs stuff

Boss x1 just goes foward and attaches several turrets

Boss x2 goes in a circle and does random attacks

Boss x3 dashes at you

Boss x4 goes back and forth with different turrets

Boss x5, boss x5

[fading python]

I remember hearing critics of vanilla bosses, that they were boring and stuff, except the final one

[alpine iron]

I saw something similar to that on the hellsquito boss showcase on YouTube.

[alpine iron]

At least they are more interesting compared to Platypus II bosses. :p

Except for the lava serpent and the mother brain, which are definitely interesting.

[fading python]

I think the desert serpent is nice

[alpine iron]

Part of the reason they think that way is because during the development of the original game, the bosses were kinda rushed, and not much have changed fundamentally on Reclayed.

Sure, the train, serpent, and squid mother have gained new attack patterns, but still, they fundamentally play the same as their original counterparts.

[alpine iron]

I have a rather funny thought...
What if the background black queen flip plane on area 3 spawns at ANY difficulty, but won't go inside area 4 and be fought on expert difficulty or lower?

[fading python]

[alpine iron]

Also, as you can tell, I too joined in the bandwagon for writing random code comments. :3

[fading python]

I think it can be a funny detail for the queen flip plane to appear in any diff

[alpine iron]

I would be interested to see what players would feel about seeing a boss-like entity outside of a museum, expecting that it would be the boss of Level X2, only to find out that the organ is actually the boss of Level X2, at least on Expert mode or lower.

[alpine iron]

@torpid hearth, notice the comment I made for the background flip plane spawn?

[torpid hearth]

LMAO

That Hotel IS Hazbin Hotel, Confirm.

[fading python]

a bit too colorful maybe

[alpine iron]

Yeah, considering that your PFP comes from a spinoff of Hazbin Hotel. ;p

[alpine iron]

Well, that is just one of the inside jokes that were written inside the level file.

I mean, Tar wrote hotel mario in that file too several times, LOL.

[torpid hearth]

Off-Topic: Nope, Helluva Boss IS the first creation animation, Hazbin Hotel IS the spin-off! (Second Creation)

Yeah, I've been following the Creator a lot.

[torpid hearth]

You know what? I suggest that add a text down when The Black Queen Flip Plane is coming saying “The Mother of all Flip Planes”

[alpine iron]

When it spawns as a boss fight that is.

[alpine iron]

Also, this change has already been in effect.

[torpid hearth]

Lore Dump about Black Queen Flip Plane:

• The Black Queen Flip Plane has a name model XFB-3 (Reference from Strikers I Boss, XFB-1).

• Has 3 titles:
  “The Mother of All Flip Planes”
  “The Black Phantom”
  “Squid Mother's Cousin”

• In the lore, the Colossatropolis engineer took the hatch from the wrecked Squid Mother Ship, adjusting it and then attaching it to the Black Queen Flip Plane; that explains why it has an exact same hatch.

[alpine iron]

I doubt they can for the same reason they can't for Psychosquid.

These are hidden bosses.

[torpid hearth]

Oh, no showcase then.

[alpine iron]

-# Even if mods like REMAM expose them lately.

[alpine iron]

Well, who knows?

[torpid hearth]

Well, okay. :)

[torpid hearth]

Wait, that's kinda genius. Make it the Black Queen Flip Plane is the only Mini-Boss that reveals itself in any difficulty, but never fought on area 4. Unless if you're in Nasty Mode.

[alpine iron]

;3

[torpid hearth]

I like it!

[deft cosmos]

It was already exposed

I decided to Put 4 Black queens to Dox you(/j aka remam not seriouslt dox)

[alpine iron]

You're so sneaky.

[torpid hearth]

You forget something...

[deft cosmos]

Well enjoy all encounters of that Pomni chips

[fading python]

https://tenor.com/view/im-turning-into-pomni-the-amazing-digital-circus-gif-10101194885076146557

ah yes the pomni chip

[alpine iron]

"Partying outside of Hazbin Hotel be like..."
-Psychosquid

[alpine iron]

👀

[fading python]

silly names for silly weapons

[alpine iron]

You'll notice that all the Level X2 stars now have a hidden lettered weapon as opposed to only select stars having them.

[deft cosmos]

Very Japanese

[tribal charm]

Bored so I did whatever

Ofc psychosquid is S+++++++++++ tier, otherwise...

[alpine iron]

I see what you mean by gold magnet. :p

[alpine iron]

The ones that aren't in the mod yet officially are not included in the poll for an obvious reason.

[torpid hearth]

Yellow Chip because :3

[alpine iron]

Their cute cat smile. >w<

[haughty bone]

:3

[haughty bone]

-# i just changed my mind a mere second i saw this messege :3

[alpine iron]

What was your original vote?

[haughty bone]

purple one >:3

[compact zodiac]

Yo purple based

[torpid hearth]

Anyway...

NEW TEASER WIP MUSIC!

[haughty bone]

is the music are randomize each time player enter the Score attack?

[alpine iron]

There was a plan for it.

[torpid hearth]

Yep, but that features is on Standby.

[torpid hearth]

||Note: Actually, my tracklist is almost done||

[haughty bone]

is this include boss music too?

[torpid hearth]

Yep, BUT! It doesn't mean it's almost done.

||Spoiler: Tar Tary is secretly making an additional level||

[haughty bone]

wait faster :3

[tribal charm]

peeveezee

[alpine iron]

So what was your metric in ranking the Casinopolan enemies?

[deft cosmos]

Oh CMON

is there even a Platypus Casinopolis discord server?

[alpine iron]

These three are already technically in the mod files, but aren't finished yet.

[torpid hearth]

Unfortunately, it's for only devs.

[deft cosmos]

Cyan chip

[tribal charm]

I'd guess the purpose for the pink chip is to shoot pink homing bullets

[tribal charm]

Oh and uhh

Idk

-# Having armalyte [aka baddie tune 2] on the Stitched boss kinda fits

[deft cosmos]

Why not makuyumi one?

[alpine iron]

It's not even out yet.

I mean, an original soundtrack for Road Kill

[tribal charm]

“makuyumi”

Also, it's just like your good ol’ boss 1 ||or Wormship Choo-choo|| is taking revenge towards ya

After what have you done to it last time...

-# a lore

[tribal charm]

👀

[fading python]

now that i think of it, we are back to the first model of the cuttlefishes

[fading python]

creature

ok what if the teeth row is rendered separated

actually spazmatism never closes it teeth, also couldn't give it damage frame

so maybe not

[fading python]

i plan adding a little circle to the start of the tetth

same for the other guy

[deft cosmos]

Spaz

[tribal charm]

The “spaz” now reminds me of that old game Jazz Jackrabbit 2 xd

[deft cosmos]

What about the v2 the spaz has spinning flame like remam?

[fading python]

Spaz won't be getting changes

But i was thiniking adding some attacks to spisma

[grave shore]

When Spaz is charging towards the player ship, its thruster should be moving like the cuttlefish attack.

[deft cosmos]

@alpine iron I think the roadkill boss just lag the game when you use lighting star attack

or it just a ram issue?

[alpine iron]

RAM issue I think.

[fathom flare]

Looks like a fusion of a Flip Plane and a Big Un.

[alpine iron]

That's because the flip plane is carrying a Gate Un's turret to be equipped by the Gate Un.

[torpid hearth]

Oh, that's make sense.

[torpid hearth]

I saw an error message...

[fading python]

aren't those fun?

[alpine iron]

The error messages?

[deft cosmos]

Yes

I saw it

It just 1 error message

[alpine iron]

Anyway, I already managed to fix the error.

[alpine iron]

Can we all appreciate the timing with the Gate Un's intro?

[deft cosmos]

Yes

[alpine iron]

Added a SFX when the Gate Un equips the rocket turrets.

[fading python]

dot

[deft cosmos]

Zomboz

[fading python]

got this to work, but no collision

tested deactivating rotation, and no collision, i think is just my collision map

collision again come back to curse me

don't you love to see it?

[fading python]

still nothing, i have no idea what's wrong with this collision

i hate collision sprites

WHY THE HELL
DO MY [unity collision maps] WON?T WORK
BUT WHEN I GIVE THE machine TO DO IT ITSELF IT WORKS

[alpine iron]

The entity that fires it?

[fading python]

i mean that when i give it the collision map it doesn't work, but if i let it autogenerate it works

[alpine iron]

Wait, it's working now!?

[fading python]

yeah

[alpine iron]

How so?

[fading python]

like i said by just not giving it a made collision map

like that fireball issue

[alpine iron]

Oh man, gotta love inconsistencies behind loading a collision sprite. :33333333

[fading python]

anyways, we have directional lighting

you may not want to rotate in real time the thing

since i predict it will just screw up

[alpine iron]

Yeah, I can already imagine.

Anyway, does the other entities loaded after the directional lightning entity spawns have their rotations fucked up?

[fading python]

ok it doesn't

we have moving lightining

[alpine iron]

Might as well try out that entity behavior.

[fading python]

also gotta show you one thing

i call it arg hijacking

[alpine iron]

That's a lot simpler than I would have imagined. :0

[fading python]

the consequences is that it needs a bit of sprite engineering

[alpine iron]

Actually, was this code based on the real-time rotating laser?

[alpine iron]

LMAO,

[fading python]

that just gives it the rotation by angle

i just gave the entity rotation + 1 to test

[alpine iron]

I just hope the other enemies that come after that lightning-spewing test entities don't have corrupted rotations, like what happened on one of my test runs.

Yeah, that one.

[fading python]

i was honestly scrapping rotating in real time lightning as a possibility

[fading python]

also yeah i for got that happens, let me test if this happens too

poor spisma

[alpine iron]

Oh no

Everything went downhill.

[fading python]

like i think, it should be fixed, if we gavve everyone a on initialise a rotation of 0

or call the devs to reset the rotation to 0 per entity

and not let it cue to others

[alpine iron]

Yeah, that's what MAKYUNI suggested.

[alpine iron]

I wonder if this is an easy solution for the devs to implement, considering that they claim that rotations in general are just unstable.

[fading python]

ok so something i notice, it that it does reset, but after the first one is affected

[fading python]

it has been done before it shouldn't be that hard

[alpine iron]

Yeah, I hope so too, but Kroporo isn't working on Platypus Reclayed anymore, so we gotta put faith in Stu or someone else.

[alpine iron]

Hold on, do both of them have self.rotation = 0?

[fading python]

none of them have

i haven't added that fix

also is self.**animator.**rotation = 0

[torpid hearth]

Reasonable Crashout, ngl.

[alpine iron]

So you used self.animator.rotation instead of self.rotation? IDK if there are clear differences TBH.

[fading python]

hmm

not sure

i may add both then

[alpine iron]

Attached sprite animators might be the solution for this glitch.

Why so?

[fading python]

adding self rotation screwed it worse

[alpine iron]

Because the Lua Reclayed Turrets have an attached shadow sprite that rotates doesn't mess up the other entities.

Its rotation value is only tied to the sprite animator var.

[fading python]

i see

but well

gotta remember what hapend with the last time i tried attached spritesheet rotation

[alpine iron]

Ho boy, the flashbacks.

[fading python]

putting it here, since well update is already out

funny indev testing

[torpid hearth]

That was weird.

[fading python]

anyways gonna try that spritesheet method

[alpine iron]

Let's hope it works.

[fading python]

ok it does kinda work but

the collision itself is kinda screwed up

[alpine iron]

Just as you thought.

[fading python]

but imagine this

it summons a child entity that sets it rotation to 0 and disapears

so the next one is not corrupted

[alpine iron]

Are you testing this RN?

[fading python]

yes

it works

well this time it didn't rip

[alpine iron]

So the lightning summons that rotation-reseting child entity?

[fading python]

yeah

[fading python]

also weird spisma is right and spaz is weird

despite spaz being summoned after spisma

now both are screwed up

[alpine iron]

That didn't age well I think.

[fading python]

like i said, adding self.animator.rotation = 0 on initialise, on them, it fixes it

anyways i think we can report this issue

too much playing around

[alpine iron]

I reported it way earlier, but haven't gone much into detail.

[fading python]

well time to report it again

thanksfully we have an option

an annoying option

but an option that fixes it and is giving self rotation to 0 to every entity

or atleast every entity that comes after it

• we are still months ahead of d5.0 release

[alpine iron]

Ah yes, the exact same thing @sharp verge suggested.

[fading python]

i remember the json object leaking bug, that one was very bad

anyways gotta we can always do

put said rotation reset enemy

after those are dead

like in the level commands

[alpine iron]

Before so, have you tested it on select enemies that come after the lightning test enemy?

[fading python]

yeah, the twins are after the lightning test

anyways this is just a mild annoyance, atleast we have dir lightning

[alpine iron]

We should be archiving any unused Lua scripts by this point.

[torpid hearth]

Uhh... How many Lua's in the mod thought?

[fading python]

114

[torpid hearth]

That's a lot, and I guess there's some Lua's that is not used...

[fading python]

weird how the sprite animators attached also moves

[alpine iron]

Tried it myself.

That involved using attached sprite animator.

[fading python]

well yeah screwed collision

was thinking making a separated sprite sheet with the first 2 sprites and adding a thing to let the player know where it will move

[alpine iron]

I think it would be better to integrate that into one entire sprite sheet.

[fading python]

i guess so

[alpine iron]

    if timer > 0 then timer = timer - 1
    else
        if lightningSet == false then
            lightningSFX = PlaySoundRaw("s_enemy_kazap")
            if lightningSFX ~= nil then lightningSFX.loop = true end
            lightningSet = true
        end
        if sprite < 1 then
            timer = 10
            sprite = sprite + 1
        else
            timer = 2
            if sprite < 9 then sprite = sprite + 1 else sprite = 2 end
        end
    end

[fading python]

there like 3 lightning levels i was thinking on making

spark: quick and doesn't block bullets
lighting: it takes it time also also blocks bullets
superbolt: takes the longest to wind up and has the bigger hitbox

[alpine iron]

Found a weirdass behavior regarding attached lightning.

[fading python]

oh yeah the same thing was happening to me

[alpine iron]

Anyway, have you already painstakingly put self.animator.rotation = 0 to all entities?

[fading python]

not yet, i think is better to do it once we are at the part of development where we are actually making the level layout

also because it means we only need to add it to the entities that are after the enemy itself

so less work

[fading python]

anyways how is your sprite set up?

or is it just the regular sprite

[alpine iron]

animations.json

  {
    "sprite": "Effects/Bullets/directional lightning",
    "collisionSpriteScale": "Effects/Bullets/directional lightning_collision",
    "matDayCycleMultiplier": 0,
    "generateColliders": true,
    "matReflectionPass": false,
    "matEmissionPower": 2,
    "rows": 10,
    "columns": 1
  }

[alpine iron]

Attached sprite.

[fading python]

i mean the sprite itself

the image

[fading python]

is it exactly 100% bigger on the side?

[alpine iron]

More than 100% actually. :p

[fading python]

110%?

[alpine iron]

From 3800 to 8000 pixels long.

[fading python]

alright

[fading python]

how much is timer at the start anyways

[alpine iron]

10

Don't forget these, or you'll have a forever looping sound even after destroyed.

function OnDeinitialise()
    if lightningSFX ~= nil then lightningSFX.Stop() end
end

function OnDestroy()
    if lightningSFX ~= nil then lightningSFX.Stop() end
end

[fading python]

and for deactivating?

[alpine iron]

if self.lifetime >= 200 then self.Deactivate() end

[fading python]

i had it at 300

world strongest un

anyways something like that type of indicator i was thinking

with this setup is kinda harder to make moving lightning in real time

[alpine iron]

Meanwhile...

[fading python]

yeah bit that is as distance 0

at more distance off the entity it will probably just do this

anyways still useful for

||the omni chip||

[alpine iron]

I'd like an ||Omni Chip|| that spits out Master Spark. >3<

https://klipy.com/gifs/marisa-marisa-kirisame--k01KQE06XECXTJD0XVARMPMT4HG

[fading python]

i mean that is basically what the superbolt is

[alpine iron]

Haha, yeah

[fading python]

still wondering how the dir lightning enemies should move

[alpine iron]

I have them spawn as child entities, and it works.

function Fire()
    for _, bulletParams in ipairs(turretData.CalculateBulletParams({ x = 0, y = 0 }, angle)) do
        bulletParams.args.AddFieldFloat("angle", angle)
        SpawnEntityChild(bulletParams.bulletEntity, self, bulletParams.spawnPosition, bulletParams.args)
    end
end

[fading python]

yeah i know that, i just haven't due lazy and the placeholder entity doesn't move

i meant the movement of the enemy itself

[alpine iron]

Actually, have you set them up like that earlier?

[fading python]

yeah

i think dir lightning is on the list of most wanted things too

[alpine iron]

Will Cyan Chips fire directional laser?

[fading python]

yeah

i was thinking the lightning sprite should also have rounded edges

so it doesn't cut off

when firing too far

[deft cosmos]

I prefer old cyan chip thank u

[alpine iron]

Too evil?

[deft cosmos]

Just imagine that but 5 of them

The usual formation that remam use since level 12 remam

The one after wall of uns on level 12

[deft cosmos]

Maybe give then the target b4 it launch

[winged zenith]

Custom ship is include in this mod?

[haughty bone]

Pretty much so.

[deft cosmos]

Mostly

[alpine iron]

I'll continue rebalancing the Gate Un.

[alpine iron]

I think I am now satisfied with the Gate Un boss fight I rebalanced.

I replaced all saucer spawns with boomerangs, and removed all fish fighter spawns during the boxing glove section.

[deft cosmos]

Might add this on remam when level5x was done

[alpine iron]

cool

[deft cosmos]

Btw I haven't added x1

Only x2 x3 and x4

[alpine iron]

Didn't you already technically add X1 as level 9? :p

[deft cosmos]

Nop

It isn't X1

[alpine iron]

In all fairness, it is pretty much a modified Level X1 in terms of sceneries.

So we can't call it Level X1 per se like you alluded to.

[deft cosmos]

The boss is the ghost un

Not gate un

[alpine iron]

IG I'm vindicated. :3

[torpid hearth]

So, is the Level X1, X2, X3, And X4 Balancing is done thought? Or it's almost there?

[alpine iron]

I just finished the Gate Un Boss rebalance.

Level X3 hasn't started yet according to my pinned message.

Plus, I am waiting for a new enemy to materialize for that level.

[torpid hearth]

Huh, I kinda knew what will be balance there
-# Especially the Snail that shoots gasses, their hp was equivalent to a strong brick

[alpine iron]

I'd prolly want that small nautilus to be a bit more like a glass cannon...
Aggressive and agile yet has modest hit points.

Wyvern vs the first two bosses.
-# Edit: I deleted the original video, due to unedited parts. :p

Also, I increased the Organ HP from 8000 to 10000, because on one of the unrecorded test runs with Wyvern, I was able to quickly defeat it before the 60.0 speed bonus mark.

[torpid hearth]

Does this heath increase in Nasty Mode thought?

[alpine iron]

It'll be 10000 HP across all difficulties.

[torpid hearth]

Oh.

[compact zodiac]

Difficulties don't change enemy hp. Unless mods allow for that? But in the base game, only thing changed by difficulties is player damage, and only on easy and regular. Enemy hp stays the same always

[alpine iron]

The mod prolly won't feature enemies whose HP changes per difficulty.

[alpine iron]

Reuploaded the video...

[alpine iron]

Also updated the initial tiles when starting the first level.

[alpine iron]

Cyan Big Uns will no longer be armed with turrets on Hard difficulty or lower.

This is all thanks to the fact that I Lua-fied the first ever custom enemy @fading python has ever made. :3

Also, the turrets will no longer keep on firing when the Cyan Big Un is on the far left off-screen.

[fading python]

oh cool

cyan uns are so old of an enemy

[fading python]

weird how trail gun uses yellow flashes despite a sprite of purple flashes exist

[alpine iron]

IKR? :p

[fading python]

so i have this idea

originally the lightbulb enemies would look at you before launching their lightning

what if they are just an static bulb

so they can use lightning at distance 0

like just this, the lightning would come from the center

[alpine iron]

I wonder what would be the movement pattern of the bulb.

[fading python]

i have no idea

[torpid hearth]

Maybe, it step like slow?

[alpine iron]

From the looks of it, I imagine the bulb would act like a Purple Tick, though that's just speculation OFC.

[fading python]

i mean kinda

they are more squid/octopus like now

hover craft

funny their only mayor redesign since 3.0

sparks are suposed to be fast lightning, and basically look like that one new laser ship from platypus 2 reclayed

[alpine iron]

Or one of those small enemies I concepted in my decade-old sketch book.

[fading python]

yeah

[alpine iron]

One that pays homage to an enemy in Astrobatics.

[fading python]

but directional this time

i may make non dir variants of the 2 new lightnings for [enemy]

[alpine iron]

Love how the word enemy is encased in an array. :3

[fading python]

i blinked and you are blue

[alpine iron]

-# Thinking that I would spew out a giant trashball toward ya

[sharp verge]

I reported this long ago, but sadly it seems it's still not fixed
flashes and star particles can be a bit messy

[alpine iron]

But anyway, I fleshed out the Cyan Big Un's damage effects.

[alpine iron]

Konichiwa MAKYUNI. :3
Have you voted yet?

[fading python]

yellow is winning anyways

[sharp verge]

kyunichiwa! :D
sadly I can't remember all pokerchip behaviours, so I'll just vote which one I like, graphic-wise

[fading python]

pokerchips are very simple anyways

[sharp verge]

I think it's fitting that they are :D

I just haven't watched gameplays as closely

[torpid hearth]

I think they missed the bug texture

[sharp verge]

I took a short peek, since I didn't wanna fully spoil myself

[sharp verge]

LOL

[fading python]

-# if anything you are one of the most spoiled persons in terms of upcoming content

[alpine iron]

This is what Yellow Chips do at work.

[sharp verge]

true xD

[alpine iron]

I thought they meant spoiled brat. XD

[torpid hearth]

They are responsible to fix anything since they are big.

[alpine iron]

Outside of work, they play like cats. :3

[fading python]

tecnically blank mini chips exist, but the 2 entities that showed them are now scrapped

[torpid hearth]

What 2 entities are you talking about?

[fading python]

the old nautilus miniboss and boss

[torpid hearth]

Hey, what if that miniboss and the main boss that got cut actually show up somewhere in the level? Like, as a little Easter Egg for beta bosses. :3

[fading python]

a painting

i was thinking adding 2 new tile paitings to area 4 of x2 anyways

[torpid hearth]

Wait, is there anyway to make the painting like a rare chance to spawn thing?

[alpine iron]

I saw your vote.

[fading python]

if you make everything else extra common, then yeah

[alpine iron]

I wonder if it is worth using force tiles for certain tiles.

[torpid hearth]

Wait, hold on...

-# I really like to put this as an rare painting

[fading python]

fun

[alpine iron]

Any artstyle would probably be welcome on the art gallery of Fool's Manor.

[torpid hearth]

It's funny that the art-style is REALLY different from Tar Tary's Art style.

[alpine iron]

What painting software did you use?

[torpid hearth]

Ibis Paint X.

[fading python]

finally did some final sketches for the stalker, the 3 dir lightning enemies, and the time bomb redesign

means i can now start modeling them

[fading python]

also funny for me i use krita for everything

image editing, gif creation, drawing etc

anyways the stalker is now a crab

[frigid grotto]

Platypus III be like:

[alpine iron]

BTW, what do you think of the golden flip planes that arm the gate un with rocket turrets?

[torpid hearth]

Wait, I have a question:

Can you take it down when golden flip plane was still carrying the weapon attachment for The Gate Un?

[alpine iron]

They are non-attackable entities.

[torpid hearth]

What about the attachment? Are they invincible state while in carrying?

[alpine iron]

They too are invincible until they are deployed.

[torpid hearth]

Aw, I thought you could destroy it in mid air.

[alpine iron]

Also, I just realized your PFP has changed. :0

[torpid hearth]

Hehe, it's Pulchra from ZZZ

Temporary pfp

[alpine iron]

Reminiscent of the laser sprite Greenness and I worked on in Platypus II Reclayed. :3

[fading python]

[torpid hearth]

Why this laser sprite looks like from one of the bosses in Strikers III or I

[fading python]

light bulb

[torpid hearth]

Name the attack "Light Beam"

[fading python]

also weirdly, when i put it as child it kinda screwed up the position

[alpine iron]

I thought it was totally fine.

[fading python]

the video is using world spawn

[alpine iron]

I wonder what happened on your end once you used child spawns.

[fading python]

spawns in like a corner of the map

[alpine iron]

Make sure the calculate bullet params look like this:
turretData.CalculateBulletParams({ x = 0, y = 0 }, angle)

[fading python]

alright

[frigid grotto]

Ngl Casinopolis is more like a Collosotropolis but upgraded

[alpine iron]

Well, yes and no.

First off, Casinopolis was built for maximum profit.

[frigid grotto]

Oh...

[fading python]

well that works now

fun

[alpine iron]

The laser collision seems delayed FSR

[fading python]

is not really delayed, i think some frames just doesn't have collision

[alpine iron]

Oh, right.

[fading python]

anyways i like sparks

they feel like a more spammable lightning

[tribal charm]

bigeeeeeeest ass un

[alpine iron]

LOL, so much for Platypus+

[fading python]

forgot i had this saved

[fading python]

also yeah this is better

it has the smaller thrusters and eye

[fading python]

some kinda of time bomb

ok now is here

i went with cilliders instead of spikes so people won't mistake it with a mine

tho it kinda looks like a sea mine now

also i think it looks way more close to the jewel bomb

very noticeable differences

[fading python]

overheat

[fading python]

there an extra arg for if you want to send a nuke with idk 32098 hp

actually i think i prefer if they have a top propeller

there we go

[alpine iron]

Nice rework, both visually and behaviorally.

[fading python]

yeah

[fading python]

also as you can see i update the check list

[alpine iron]

Ye, I did before.

All resprites are done.

When it comes to Level X3 rework, the Ammonite is the only thing to wait for.

[fading python]

anyways i made it so you can adjust it velocity,

So it can go anywhere

this are the args

imagine spawning fast one, that are about to explode and, that have like 30 hp

[alpine iron]

It's like two completely different generations of architectual archetypes, LOL.

[fading python]

i think i will be replacing everything with this new updated ones

[alpine iron]

I wonder if there would be more building types to be created.

[fading python]

i dunno, they are based on the level 4 ones

not sure what other can be done

also really this is a d4.1

i was thinking leaving d4.2 as x3 level layout rework

[alpine iron]

Yeah, since I think there are a lot more things to do for Level X3.

[fading python]

also to push all this reworks to the public

[torpid hearth]

Casinopolis, Reconstruction Update is lowkey fire name drop 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[alpine iron]

Insert Yellow Construction Chips here

[fading python]

anyways they are all blue now

all thanks to g mic qt

[alpine iron]

WDYM?

[fading python]

processing frame work

image filters

i think after the cyan un and boss un changes and the tile changes, the version can be pushed

[alpine iron]

Don't forget the quick rebalances on Levels X1 and X4.

[fading python]

oh yeah

[torpid hearth]

When the Rebalanced Version was up, we need to call @haughty bone to test it out.

He's Our Test Subject our game tester

[alpine iron]

I wonder if he is warranted a contributor status for Casinopolis.

[fading python]

maybe as playtester

i guess we can make a separated list for contributors

like devs and contributors

[alpine iron]

What would be the difference from your perspective?

[fading python]

devs kinda are always working on the proyect,

[alpine iron]

Then contributors, part time for sure.

[alpine iron]

Now they look lively with more pronounced lit windows.

[torpid hearth]

I think the old background city could be another painting...

[alpine iron]

But filtered I think.

Currently locking in with the two level rebalances.

Gatling Ships will now be first encountered on LX1A2

[fading python]

interesting

[alpine iron]

And then the Homing Gatling Ships will spawn on LX1A3, to make room for the Big Asterisk on LX1A4.

[fading python]

so

area 1 is homing gunships, asterisk
area 2, goldenship and gatling ships
area 3, homing gatling ship and the cyan un
area 4, big asterisk

if i guessed correctly

i wonder how much will enemies order change for x3

[alpine iron]

I honestly haven't thought of it yet.

[fading python]

the issue with x3 is that it has 2 gimmick areas

being area 2 and 3

[alpine iron]

Enemy layout of Level X1 is now complete.
Time for some quick misc updates on that level.

[fading python]

cool

[alpine iron]

IG the background gate un could be a bit smaller, since its default layer is 3.

[fading python]

is kinda suposed to imitate the sky serpent effect

and is a layer more deep so it looks nice with buildings covering it

[alpine iron]

So no need for a resize?

[fading python]

yeah, since is suposed to make that effect of a giant

like that paiting of moby member

[alpine iron]

IG we'll keep it that way until someone else points out that its size is unaffected whether as a background or as a boss.

Guess the only thing left to do is to adjust the Level X4 segments containing any instance of gatling ships.

The cuttlefish rework already works just fine on Level X4 IMO.

[fading python]

yeah

[fading python]

thanksfully those enemies aren't the pokerchips that have like 1240 intances in the mod or something

[alpine iron]

On your end, have you reduced the HP of the Level X4 enemies we've talked about?

[fading python]

yeah

[alpine iron]

I'll eat brunch first before I proceed.

[fading python]

weirdly i separated the timed bomb into 3 sprites

[fading python]

alright

[fading python]

i had like an idea to do something but i never did

sometimes i plan stuff to do for the day, and when i'm done i have no idea what do to afterward

i guess is time to do the superbolt

probably the hardest ray to do

funny how there this unused sprite from 2.1

x3 was planned to have smoke, superbolts and bouncy bullets

kinda funny much of that stuff was moved to other levels

it may be a bit bigger than i thought

tecnically a lot more simpler

now is just the rings

[alpine iron]

Rockets vs Lightning
-# Worth noting that the Cyan Big Un now has 3000 HP.

BTW, I recorded that footage yesterday, but was already tired to upload them at the time.

[fading python]

i mean you can theoretically just start attacking before it retreats the first time

[alpine iron]

This is just for reference, as the power-up layout for the cyan un segment hasn't changed.

In the process of exporting all the recent parts I have done, so we can finally release d4.1 update.

[fading python]

that will probably be tomorrow

[alpine iron]

Why tho?

[fading python]

because is 11 pm here

[alpine iron]

Could you instead send me the entire mod folder, assuming that you already finished all your parts?

Meanwhile, 11 am is fast approaching here.

[fading python]

sure but i do need to well

export it

which beta number were we at?

[alpine iron]

I can wait.

Beta 5?

[fading python]

so beta 6

[alpine iron]

Actually, that's for the one you'll export.

[fading python]

alright

somehow we are at 1.6 gb now

i remember beta 1 was made in early 2.1

only kroporo has said build

and me of course

[alpine iron]

wow

I wonder what Kroporo did to that beta build. :3

[fading python]

fix the jsonobject leak bug

basically anything you put on a json object it would affect every other lua entity

and basically turn every enemy into a mine

[alpine iron]

A very nasty bug of its time.

[fading python]

now the other issue, animating it

[deft cosmos]

it was use in remam

[tribal charm]

Uh
