having too many poker chips makes some funny wall texts

alpine iron
#

Honestly wished the args for the min/max coords for spawnEntityRandom was arrayed just to tidy things up.

fading python
#

something like the icbm?

alpine iron
#

Yeah. :p

#

But we gotta work what we currently have.

fading python
#

i just notice

#

i barely even added any pool ship

#

i just made a harder x1 fish

alpine iron
#

OMG

fading python
#

testing this early draft

fading python
alpine iron
#

BTW, in case the scope might have changed, what will be the contents of d4.3?

fading python
#

honestly the only thin that needs is the score attack and the voices,

#

and we can have score attack x2 later

#

so really it could be kinda published right now

alpine iron
#

I'll let you release the update once I send you the necessary contents from my side.

#

Hopefully I can do so in time for a possible release today.

#

Also, how about my Nasty X1 script?

#

I honestly think the only missing thing about Nasty X1 is actually a recurring Nasty-exclusive enemy.

#

Okay, I'm now in the process of exporting my relevant stuff to you.

deft cosmos
fading python
alpine iron
#

They're not even out yet in the Workshop's game files, LMAO.

#

Same goes for deck throwers and angelships.

fading python
alpine iron
#

GLHF donny!
-# laughs in Cyrax

deft cosmos
#

I mean so far there's no way to isolate it

fading python
#

50 50

#

The rotation can mess collisions and turret placement too

alpine iron
deft cosmos
#

Can be handle with wait(100000)

fading python
#

fish funnily not

#

This is a lua persistence thing

alpine iron
#

Just imagine shooting vases behind a flipped table.

alpine iron
#

Like JSON objects and heck even boolean collision logics during the beta.

fading python
#

There were really a lot of roadblocks

#

Thansfully there basically none left

alpine iron
#

TY devs

fading python
#

The rest of stuff left doesn't use any complex stuff anyways

#

Is just a slow grind to develop

alpine iron
#

And balance for that matter.

deft cosmos
alpine iron
#

It isn't just a visual bug, lol.

deft cosmos
#

It also why I don't wanna add lightbulb for now

#

And just add those Bulldozer enemies

#

I mean the sprite it exist but due to gameplay bug and visual bug I might wait for casinopolis to fix it

#

Or I just gave up and add everyone with rotation 0

alpine iron
#

The latter is the only foolproof choice.

deft cosmos
#

I mean what's the layout of level 5x anyway?

#

Why it needs the lightbulb?

fading python
#

In the video the pokerchips have rotation 0

And you can see they never glitch out

Their light points always stays the same

deft cosmos
#

Now do that to ICBM

#

The silo will be flipped

fading python
#

maybe this thing is a bit too small

alpine iron
#

Yeah, I agree.

fading python
#

what about now?

alpine iron
#

Much better. :D

fading python
#

also the regular slot machine has such an ugly model

alpine iron
#

Less detailed, LOL.

fading python
#

thanksfully this don't need damage sprites

#

small slot machine prizes

  • do nothing ❌
  • give fruit πŸ’
  • spawn a coins box πŸͺ™
  • explode in bullets πŸ’€
  • spawn some poker chips πŸͺ
  • spawn a chance coin πŸ’€ πŸͺ™ πŸ€
  • spawn a powerup box ⭐
#

the chance coin is just a bejeweled 3 reference

alpine iron
#

Nice

fading python
#

50 50 of
making a screen wipe
or giving you a life box

alpine iron
#

Love the inclusion of screenwipes on more stuff. >:3

#

First we got the time bombs, then the icnm's, and finally, playable slot machines.

fading python
#

1 per level after x3 fish

alpine iron
#

Yeah.

deft cosmos
alpine iron
#

For real this time.

fading python
#

took a while fish

alpine iron
#

BTW, what time do you usually release Workshop updates whenever you are the one to do so?

fading python
#

when i feel like fish

alpine iron
#

I see.

#

So you're currently focused on developing the playable slot machines.

fading python
#

after that i will patch some about the draft of x5, then import the changes and release

alpine iron
#

Gotcha.

fading python
alpine iron
#

Makes me think the green slot machines are totally rigged to always spawn chips. :p

fading python
#

well they attack you after all

alpine iron
#

Sounds logical. :3

fading python
#

originally, the final attack of the big slot machine boss, was that it would make rain fruit before dying

#

also i uh

#

noticed, the fruits aren't in this mod fish

#

well is symbolic

#

fruit means points in real slots anyways

alpine iron
fading python
fading python
#

i think i will be uploading the patch

#

d4.3 idk

  • totally reworked most of the score attacks
  • new voice announcer by hannah
  • misc changes
#

i can't really recall anything else

fading python
#

i keep hitting the wronng thumbnail

fading python
#

and, i notice there were some duped sprites

#

my bad, i forgot to delete them from the playable folder

warm hazel
fading python
#

that may be too much of an advantage dependant by rng

warm hazel
#

Just an idea.

fading python
#

that makes it worse fish

warm hazel
fading python
alpine iron
fading python
#

I was gonna code the slot machine but power outage fish_dinner

alpine iron
#

Yeah, Venezuela is infamous for its energy crisis. clay_grimacing

fading python
#

Oughmhm..

#

If you launch 3 chance coins

Is it worth to trigger them all?

alpine iron
#

Prolly not.

fading python
#

I mean if you hit all at the same time

At most you loose 1 live
Since i frames

alpine iron
#

The more chance coins activated simultaneously, the higher the likelihood of screenwipe.

#

But yeah, it's not like it would lead to a premature game over.

fading python
#

Is just a fun thing for fun

For high skill players the optimal way would be just ignore them

alpine iron
#

Or deathless runners for that matter. :3

fading python
#

The slot machine has 3 bad outcomes and 3 good ones

And the chance coins

The bad outcomes aren't as bad anyways so i do say they are worth

#

For a 1/7 to get a powerup is pretty busted

alpine iron
#

Yeah, since enemy patterns won't be designed with that in mind.

#

Otherwise we'll be seeing tons of people complaining about Level X5.

fading python
#

fish yup

torpid hearth
# fading python

β€œ99% of Colossatropolis Gamblers quit before they win”

Is a peak quote

fading python
fading python
#

so uh

#

what's the difference between regular chips and summoned chips?

alpine iron
#

Summoned ships yield no points, do not count towards evaluation, and can be rendered behind slot machines, unlike regular chips.

fading python
#

alright

fading python
#

what the hell

alpine iron
#

That's a fuckton of balloons. BoomSpin

fading python
#

anyways i have 1-6 of the outcomes done

alpine iron
#

Screenwipe trigger?

fading python
#

nah is just, nothing

alpine iron
#

Gotcha

fading python
#

the slot themselves have no screen wipes

#

that is reserved for the coins

alpine iron
fading python
#

actually now that i think

#

is there a way to spawn 1 ups?

#

when do they spawn?

alpine iron
#

I don't think there is a way to spawn mushrooms directly.

fading python
#

yeah, but what spawns them?

alpine iron
#

Balloons/safes containing crowns/pods.

fading python
#

hmmm

alpine iron
#

If the player has either of them, 1ups replace what the player already has.

fading python
#

so there no way to spawn them

#

dang it

#

and seems that there no command for giving the player 1 ups

#

maybe if i brute force my way trought it

#

i can't say πŸ‡

#

anyways a πŸ‡ spawned

alpine iron
#

Nice

fading python
#

so the ones in level default match

alpine iron
#

Seems like it.

fading python
#

this is when i bruteforce my way trought it

alpine iron
#

Worth the task. :3

fading python
alpine iron
#

OMG, a breakthrough has been made! :0

#

-# Or should I say discorvery

fading python
#

let me record everything from 0 to 20

#

wacky stuff happens

alpine iron
#

I have a suspicion that the bonusType is based on the spritesheet.

fading python
#

yup

#

you are correct

alpine iron
#

Also, have you discovered that bonusType was a valid command arg?

fading python
alpine iron
fading python
#

anyways the rest of invalid bonus acts as just 100 score

alpine iron
#

Everything else is just pod-1up cycle

fading python
#

depends

#

sometimes is and sometimes it isn't

fading python
fading python
#

i just guessed from the level defaults files

#

and it looked awfully like args

#

anyways most likely the other args also applies

alpine iron
#

Velocities and stuff

fading python
#

also that means we can spawn bonuses whenever we want

alpine iron
fading python
#

also a direct way to spawn pods and point doublers

alpine iron
#

You killed so many birds with one stone with that brute force discovery. :3

fading python
#

anyways uhm

#

i forgot what number was the 1 up

#

weirdly it isn't the spritesheet list

alpine iron
#

The number after the pods, seeing that any other coin entries were skipped.

fading python
#

yeah

#

all the coins are just 1 entry

#

1up is 12

alpine iron
#

Weirdly, we can only spawn one type of individual πŸ‡. The rest are skipped

#

Weirdly, ClayBot isn't the one enforcing this rule.

pastel stag
#

Try again fish

fading python
#

grape

#

k

alpine iron
#

grape

fading python
#

i mean we could always have used green chips as alternative fish

alpine iron
fading python
#

yes

#

anyways what was this for

#

oh right the coins

alpine iron
#

I wonder what would an artificially spawned mushroom do to a player on Practice mode or Score attack. ThinkingHardMH

fading python
#

i updated their sprites btw

alpine iron
#

Yeah, I'd imagine that.

fading python
#

am finishing this stuff tomorrow is quite late

alpine iron
#

After the slot machine, the "placeholder" will be worked on?

fading python
#

that's the plan

torpid hearth
#

I watched the full Kookie Playthrough, and SOMEHOW, he manage to do no-hit run on Boss 4, quite amazing.

#

And I saw his improvement playing on Casinopolis Mod

#

He adapts, dang!

torpid hearth
#

I guess he lock in.

alpine iron
#

The kill count?

torpid hearth
#

But I congrats him to beat Casinopolis in Hard mode.

torpid hearth
#

I forgot to tell, I watch this playthrough and use U-31 Cassowary.

https://youtu.be/yRnrCwR2HAY?si=NUYr35NT8F-l27r7

Another video that’s a bit different to my usual Real-Time Strategy mod showcases and let’s play material. This is a mod for Platypus Reclayed called β€œCasinopolis” which is now more than 3 levels since it has been updated. It adds 3 unique ships with their own playstyles, including one that doesn’t get power-ups. The fruits that give b...

β–Ά Play video
#

And I gonna say...

#

Cassowary Sucks in other ways

#

I'm gonna make another honest Review Ship for Cassowary

alpine iron
#

Love how they got to play the latest version.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

Okay, I now noticed it as I watched the video myself.

torpid hearth
#

The Combo of Bethier and Pretzels is still powerful.

#

And I saw Kookie ACTUALLY picking the Pretzels Powerup on it's playthrough.

alpine iron
#

Nice

alpine iron
alpine iron
torpid hearth
#

Anyway, about the COMPLETELY HONEST REVIEW SHIP

I might nickname Cassowary as:

  • FATASS SHIP
#

Tar Tary needs to Buff Cassowary in other ways like:

  • It has a lot of life compare to other ships.
  • Low Points Requirements for Extra Life (make sense for its lower points gain).
  • Slightly fast bullet rate, but still below at any Original Ships fire rate.
#

But idk if it's possible that Ships has ability to not died at regular bullet (which is the red little bullet one)

#

@alpine iron I didn't realize that he also didn't die on Boss 3...

Am I tripping or something? Does Kookie just do a good run than Orandza itself?

alpine iron
#

TBF, Kookie had already played Casinopolis multiple times throughout its history.

#

So he already had the experience.

compact zodiac
#

Also bear in mind I was streaming that and was talking to people while playing

alpine iron
#

Yeah, that as well.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

The pipe maze in area 2 got nerfed to be less punishing whenever the player messes up.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

That was the pre-patch version. :P

torpid hearth
#

Oh btw...

alpine iron
#

We can't.

torpid hearth
#

Literal unplayable. /J

alpine iron
#

Honestly, some stat adjustments will suffice for Cassowary.

torpid hearth
#

You know it could be funny if there's a ship that has same fire rate like Beithier, high damage.

Problem? Well, you start a 0 life.

Oh boy that could be hell.

alpine iron
torpid hearth
#

Basically if you use that ship, the rule is simple "Don't Die"

#

I swear one day, customizable ship stats will be come true.

fading python
#

i think at most i can give it a slighly hitbox buff and a third shield

#

cool ammount of subs

fading python
#

1 minute of gambling

#

overall i'm happy with this thing

haughty bone
#

GO BIG or GO HOME <:3

#

from the looks of it. you can choose what to do

fading python
#

there 7 outcomes

#

each one has their own symbol

haughty bone
#

i have a question to ask you specifically.

#

the green stuff in the sewer. it seems to implies me that casinopolis have a deadly chemical. sort of

#

what is it exactly tho? just a waste in the water?

fading python
#

is really just stylized sewer water

haughty bone
#

hmm. i see.

#

i will assume it's just a waste water then ;3

fading python
#

sure

haughty bone
#

just asking for the lore n stuff.
-# i barely ackknowledge it.

fading python
#

there really wasn't much lore for when i made the first 3 levels

alpine iron
#

Finally got to change the "psycho bullet" sprites for once, just to match the new kitchenware sprites used by Psychosquid 2.0 and the big balls since d3.1.2.

alpine iron
fading python
#

They were suposed to be animated

alpine iron
#

Waterfalls are honestly kinda hardcoded, as we can't set the position of it within Tile 51s

alpine iron
#

Yes

#

Its tentacles are also smoothly animated.

#

Overall, I am satisfied with the additional flairs I made to the Psychosquid.

alpine iron
#

Also, the big balls have a slightly different animation as they grow.

alpine iron
fading python
#

It shows at the end

alpine iron
#

Oh yeah, I didn't pay attention, LMAO.

fading python
#

Also the nuke sound is kinda too loud

alpine iron
#

It was originally loud on purpose, but I think its volume could be lowered.

fading python
#

Yeah

#

Also, the fruit one has a very small chance of giving you a point doubler

alpine iron
#

Nice

alpine iron
#

Which can be seen in the video.

fading python
#

Yeah

alpine iron
#

The stuff embedded inside a ball of junk pops out as it reaches full size.

fading python
#

Yeah

fading python
alpine iron
#

Where it spawns a 1-up.

fading python
#

Also the rarer 3 coins spawn

alpine iron
#

Also I realized, the index of the bonus entity seems to stem from the classic bonus collectibles sprite sheet rather than from Reclayed, hence the skipped instances for other individual πŸ‡.

fading python
#

Interesting

alpine iron
fading python
#

It may be ported from og

alpine iron
#

Honestly, it is nice that it was derived from the OG, which means, it should also work in Classic mode. :D

#

Anyway...

#

I managed to properly implement the white chip.

fading python
#

Cool

fading python
alpine iron
fading python
#

Also i was thinking making the death outcome of the coin be a 1/3 instead of 1/2

So it feels fair for the player?

Not sure, a 1 up is pretty strong

alpine iron
#

What if the player is given weapon pods instead of 1up?

fading python
#

Too strong

alpine iron
alpine iron
#

There are no I-frames for the white chips, otherwise the players would hug the very edge as the chips approach on-screen to bypass the intended formation challenge.

alpine iron
fading python
#

Fair

alpine iron
# alpine iron

Tho I made sure that even with Beithir, players won't be able to squeeze through walls of guard chips.

alpine iron
#

Now looking at the level data of X5 in the workshop release, it seems only area 1 is drafted, with the rest untouched.

fading python
#

Yeah

alpine iron
#

What I will be needing the most when fully locking in with Level X5 layout from areas 1-4 are the mini slot machines, "that one prop" according to your checklist, and some of your enemy pattern ideas that you might have.

fading python
#

I still have to finish the draft

alpine iron
#

Yeah, I can wait. :)

#

In the mean time, I would be refining the rest of the Level X5 enemies as well as adding more SFX.

fading python
#

Have fun playing with the ahnihilator

alpine iron
#

While I'm at it, I may be able to come up with enemy pattern ideas of mine as well, waiting to be added in the level script revision.

#

It's just something I'd do once I refined most enemies yet the full draft isn't ready.

fading python
#

Most are just missing sounds

alpine iron
#

Yeah.

#

So I got to review the codes of the newer batch of enemies, and I can already see unused vars and even some functions.

#

I forgot to tell you that as of d4.2.3, stalkers will no longer be restricted to stalking only player one, just like flies and locusts.

#

In fact, you can set their preferred target player via level command args.

fading python
deft cosmos
#

Real

alpine iron
alpine iron
fading python
#

The laser should slowly home towards you

#

Something like move towards delta of 0.5?

alpine iron
#

So the superbolt will aim toward the player while charging I assume?

fading python
#

I mean as in all the time

alpine iron
#

I see.

fading python
#

Like the anhilitator lightnings

alpine iron
#

Sparks won't have any looping SFX due to their short duration.

alpine quail
alpine iron
#

That sound in Zuma's Revenge was actually reused from AstroPop. :p

fading python
alpine iron
#

Bokeh blur. :3

fading python
#

cool

alpine iron
#

I assume you got some of the SFX from Bejeweled.

fading python
#

yes

alpine iron
#

Was it from Bejeweled 3?

fading python
#

yeah

#

i don't remember if the skull coin appears elsewhere

alpine iron
#

BTW, what volume did you set for the nuke explosion, following your comment on it being loud?

alpine iron
torpid hearth
#

There's a new update?

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

Currently, no new updates have been released in the public since d4.3

torpid hearth
# alpine iron Anyways...

Suggestion: the laser could only target one player lock until it ends, and it will target the another player to lock.

alpine iron
fading python
alpine iron
#

Seems legit. :p

#

But anyway, yellow laser it is.

fading python
#

am mostly basing it on the eye

alpine iron
#

So just the ones fired from the snake's eye I assume.

fading python
#

i guess so

i wonder if the green on green will be hard to notice

alpine iron
#

Gotta love how frequent we are pumping out the patches lately. :3

fading python
#

yeah

#

also what is enemyshot stardust?

alpine iron
#

Bullets shot by ||MAKYUNI ship||

fading python
#

k

alpine iron
#

The absence of smoke in vanilla Colossatropolis hits differently NGL.

fading python
#

i love this coins

alpine iron
#

Also, the nuke explosion SFX doesn't always play, LOL.

#

IDK if you tampered its cooldown frames.

#

Same applies for when the death coin explosion SFX plays.

fading python
#

only the volume

alpine iron
#

I see.

#

Maybe it all comes down to the sound cap.

#

Also, I noticed you started fiddling around with looping SFX, in which case is the coin flipping, which is satisfying as hell BTW.

fading python
#

ah yes

#

the slot machines also have a hit sound

alpine iron
#

Yeah, I heard it. :D

#

The fun thing about the art of sound designing is that you are being given some good ASMR.

#

Right now, I'm also doing some sound designing. chipOrange

fading python
#

was thinking maybe the nuke explosion is unnesesary here

#

so the bad outcome sound can be hear better

alpine iron
#

IG it could spawn the screenwipe explosion entity without the nuke explosion entity.

fading python
#

yes

#

anyways cool coin

#

i kinda not wanna add a super rare outcome

alpine iron
#

Until I did some SFX changes, it seems that you forgot to actually implement the card bomb SFX from Deltarune in-game.

fading python
#

oh yeah

alpine iron
#

So I got it covered. ;3

fading python
#

thanks ^^

alpine iron
#

Nice

fading python
#

i wonder what's the threshold for steam to give 5 stars

#

i keep seeing this person

and they never list the cyan un as a miniboss

#

also not the regular slot too

alpine iron
#

I don't see that person on Discord FSR.

fading python
#

i don't think they are here

alpine iron
#

Yeah

#

That person, like MintLizard, has a rich fanfiction about Platypus.

Yeah, it was hell for any non-devs. xd

haughty bone
#

Tar really goes full on Michael Bay.

alpine iron
#

Nah, I was the one who cranked up the missile madness in Level X4. :p

#

But yes, Tar originally created the ICBMs in Lua after all.

fading python
#

theres still that one draft i made for x4

#

which the final one is based on

#

psychosquid, why do you eye react, you have that beta fish

alpine iron
#

Oh yeah, silly me. :P

#

But yeah, I don't think a lot has changed radically when comparing between the two scripts.

#

I honestly don't know if I want to share y'all my playthrough of a very early Level X4 though.

fading python
#

fish would be a fun piece of the mod history

#

since that draft was more in line with the other levels at the time

alpine iron
alpine iron
deft cosmos
#

Does the lightbulb still making visual bugs?

#

Try it with a ICNM Launcher

#

Or ICBM launcher

fading python
alpine iron
#

They will if you don't manually set up the default rotations on every other entity.

deft cosmos
#

Yeah that thing will bother some people

fading python
deft cosmos
fading python
deft cosmos
#

How about casinopolis?

fading python
#

there not a current need to give that to every script at the moment

#

Comment engagement?

torpid hearth
alpine iron
fading python
#

I really thought i deleted that part before giving you the beta

alpine iron
#

I see.

fading python
#

There was an idea that the omni chip could laught, but never found a good laught

warm hazel
#

Ngl, this thing is bangers

fading python
#

Old logo

warm hazel
#

What version is that?

alpine iron
#

LOL, I forgot to post this here, but ended up doing so in the wrong channel earlier. xd

warm hazel
#

... OH FRICKIN HELL, I FORGOT TO DO THE ANNOUNCER, GODDANGIT!

alpine iron
warm hazel
#

Damn.

#

Just. Damn.

warm hazel
alpine iron
#

I see.

warm hazel
#

And I just watch the Hard Mode Casinopolis on YouTube.

alpine iron
#

From KookiePopStar?

#

The latest video?

warm hazel
#

And idk about the custom ship one, that is look like a Plover.

alpine iron
#

Does it move faster than Wyvern?

#

If so, then you're talking about Beithir.

warm hazel
#

Gonna be honest, that ship is just too overpower in my opinion, just wtf.

alpine iron
#

TBF, Kookie actually buffed the ship for himself actually.

alpine iron
#

He can spamfire, and has the same starting lives as any other ship.

warm hazel
#

Wait hold on.

#

Lemme check...

#

Oh yea, I saw it.

#

It has Allow Spamfire and... Longer stars??

alpine iron
#

Yeah

warm hazel
#

Is that even illegal?

#

Looks like cheating.

alpine iron
#

Nothing is really stopping anyone from "cheating".

#

If anything, cheating is apparently fine here in Platypus Reclayed, as long as players do not lie about it.

warm hazel
#

Atleast that guy put the mod on the description.

#

Basically proofing that he is using some mod that has an advantage to its gameplay.

alpine iron
#

Some aren't available on Steam Workshop.

warm hazel
alpine iron
#

Classic SFX add-on that is compatible across many mods in the workshop.

warm hazel
#

Oh yeah btw....

alpine iron
#

The ones in the workshop can only support Reclayed and Classic modes.

warm hazel
#

I just found something that is uhh... Idk looks like lost media Custom Announcer on Steam Workshop.

fading python
alpine iron
#

Ah yeah.

warm hazel
#

Google, you could do it better.

alpine iron
#

LMAO

warm hazel
#

It has wrong video format, wrong info, wrong shit.

alpine iron
#

In the first paragraph that is.

#

The rest of what AI Overview says are eeh.

warm hazel
#

The mod is really getting recognized

#

Here you go

alpine iron
#

I've seen it before.

warm hazel
#

Oh, btw I didn't tell you that I already made my thumbnail on my Announcer.

alpine iron

What does it look like?

warm hazel
alpine iron

Alr

warm hazel
alpine iron

It feels so homecooked. :3

#

Exactly something I'd see in a small yet comfy gaming community.

warm hazel

It's funny look at it

Like y'know the announcer is not that serious.

Gonna say something...

If Hannah's thumbnail pic was good, it's gonna be one of the most hilarious.

We certainly do not know what hers looks like.

You'll have to let me insert your description edits myself.

Oh, and also I'm halfway done.

Nice

on my mod Blissful Project(working title),The first level will take place on Mungolia City, but due to similar buildings from the fourth level of this mod, This is NOT Casinopolis.

#

I should credit this mod for level 4 tiles and background, just Tar tary.

That sound ain't looking familiar with the ones I hear in Alien Sky hmmmmmm

alpine iron

I modified the SFX a bit, LOL.

fading python
#

Kinda weird advertising your stuff in other people post

alpine iron
#

Also rubs in the wrong way.

#

Also, good morning to you BTW. :3

fading python
#

Barely can call it a morning since is 5 am

alpine iron
#

I see your point.

Some people still call it morning tho.

So I've playtested the Annihilator a lot, and I find that it's most fun to defeat it with fireball, especially from a level design perspective.

alpine iron
#

||Fireball vs Annihilator||

fading python
#

i still love this miniboss

alpine iron
#

Honestly, with the current balance you set up for that miniboss, I think it's fair and balanced. :3

#

Tho I did add 100-tick I-frames to the spawned probes.

alpine iron
# alpine iron

And yeah, this is how I'd imagine fighting the mid-boss in an actual level.

fading python
#

i mean i don't think you will be given firefall so fast

alpine iron
#

So you wanted the miniboss fight to last longer?

fading python
#

the fight does last longer if you aren't given a piercing weapon

i do say they should start appearing a bit later

alpine iron
fading python
#

ah

The generic poker chip taking place of an "O"?

i was refering to the d3.1 and after logo

Ah, my bad. πŸ˜…

#

Anyway, I think I already refined most of the Level X5 enemy codes.

fading python
#

yay

alpine iron
#

I realized the HP and points of the medium asterisk was flipped since its inclusion on d4.1 update. xd

fading python
alpine iron
#

Which you can see why they yield 600 points when they should be 1000 points.

fading python
#

they have 1k hp?!

alpine iron
#

Yeah

fading python
#

damn

#

i never noticed that

alpine iron

It may be my fault for that, LOL.

Sorry, I never ended up trying out the new build. Prolly won't get to for a while longer. This week I have personal stuff to do (including finishing weapon guides) and next week I have a part-time job. But the week after I can playtest again

BTW, Level X1 now has the experimental Nasty difficulty "content" available in the Workshop build.

but casinopolis anniversary is september 30

can the mod be called og? fish

Damn

#

Better than my pcfish_dinner

alpine iron
#

Yet fails to load Casinopolis.

#

Like what the hell?

fading python
#

I wonder why the mod crashes

#

Actually the game never crashed for me

dawn plinth
#

most likely the amount of assets or just my pc hates platypus

fading python
#

I kinda want it to crash so i can check the log

alpine iron
#

It used to crash on me before my RAM got upgraded from 8GB to 24GB.

#

Usually when I reload the mod during some dev work.

fading python
alpine iron
dawn plinth
#

Can't even make a video on it, so sad

Am still puzzled on why it crashes

alpine iron
dawn plinth

Where is it?

#

Ye, that's a good one.

alpine iron
fading python
#

someone more tech savy could help, but i think the game just ran out of memory

#

which is weird fish

alpine iron
#

Because they had 16 GB RAM.

fading python
#

i have 16 gb of ram

alpine iron
#

Weird too, since your game works just fine like you alluded to.

dawn plinth
#

56 gb tho using a external storage cuz the built-in one is buns

fading python
#

same as i

#

actualyly i have 40 gb left

alpine iron
#

I too have 40 GB left.

#

But at least I have an external drive on my side. :D

fading python
#

oh wait

#

it might be vram

#

mine is left

dawn plinth
#

πŸ₯€

alpine iron
#

My VRAM is actually kinda mid. :p

fading python
#

damn

#

then no idea what is it

alpine iron
#

Yet how the hell can I run the game smoothly at 240 FPS?

fading python
#

how the hell i have so much v ram fish

alpine iron
alpine iron
#

BTW, the min max velocity args found in set fruit set on level defaults are not accepted when spawning the entity directly.
Instead it accepts the standard mx/my float args.

fading python
#

i notice his game starts strangely slow

#

this is mine

dawn plinth
#

Windows 10

fading python
#

am too using win 10

alpine iron
#

Mine is Windows 11.

fading python
dawn plinth

Now it's not even loading the mod something is up

alpine iron
#

Like, starting up the whole game?

fading python

from start to end

warm hazel

That was sucks

dawn plinth
#

Reclayed is not letting me play peak

alpine iron

OMG, our PCs are built differently, LMAO.

If I can run the game smoothly at max res (1080p) and max frame rate, then some others can't, even with similar specs.

alpine iron
#

I think I know why...

fading python
alpine iron
#

Your high VRAM

#

Still a speculation tbh.

fading python
#

I guess i will never understimate vram again

alpine iron
#

That's one thing. :p

fading python
#

well atleast i discovered that my pc is good

just don't ask it to run the game in a high res fish

alpine iron
#

Mine as well.

#

But I feel bad for comparing with each other.

#

But anyway...
Some mushroom "jump" strength relative to y-coordinate.

#

And yes, I didn't end up resorting to big "elseif" blocks.

#

Anyway, am gonna eat breakfast soon.

#

Later y'all...

fading python
alpine iron
#

Actually, I rigged the probability.

#

For testing purposes ofc.

#

But yeah, it's totally true outside of context. :3

fading python
#

x1 is really the most vanilla level

because every level after that has like environment gimmicks

#

SkySerpent_BodySegment_A

Originally there was an enemy for x5 that was just this

#

Like half a SkySerpent_BodySegment_A

#

It would shoot a wall of energy at you the size of itself

#

Anyways the power is gone and am bored so am listing the old x5 enemies

#

Boomerang star: star that shooted boomerangs, creative yes

#

Security eye: when aproacched to close it will leave and summon 3 random enemies

#

Crane ship v3:
Kinda would work like the current gatling ship, but at the end do like a spiral burst

#

Deck thrower original:
It would throw like 4 cards and would swipe up or down
The card were like aligned and properly spaced

#

Golden gatling ship:
Kinda look like a thruster ship would have an aimed gatling gun which also shooted mosquito shots

#

Saw ship:
Would burst out like a saw blade kinda like a boxing glove and then shoot it at you

#

The cuttlefish used to be a x5 enemy

#

Hover wine: would throw gravity bullets to the sides it swinged

#

Can't recall a lot of them

#

I have noticed

#

None of this enemy left fish_dinner

#

Somehow they are similar to what we have now

alpine iron
#

Made it so that the mini slot machines fall when it runs out of chips/coins or is spun into nothing.

fading python
#

Cool

alpine iron
#

This will allow them to despawn prematurely, specially since there are waitForNoSpecificEntity("entity": "miniSlotMachine") level commands.

#

I reckon in terms of power-up distribution, Level X5 will have a lot more fireball and lightning stars.

fading python
#

Yeah

warm hazel
torpid hearth
#

the title 😭😭😭

deft cosmos
#

idk if it will be added?

fading python
#

I think hannahs is the default
And his are like a separated add on

alpine iron
#

I'm about to return home, so I'll be testing out all his voiceovers before the eventual add-on release.

alpine iron
warm hazel
alpine iron
#

Oh, and also, because his announcer voices are originally made specifically for Casinopolis even when it will be available elsewhere anyway, should there be a Casinopolis logo similar to the one seen in Casinopolis Ships @fading python?

fading python
#

you mean the default logo?

alpine iron
#

The "Casinopolis" title.

#

@warm hazel, what do you think of adding the "Casinopolis" title sprite at the bottom portion of the thumbnail?

fading python
#

i guess

warm hazel
alpine iron
#

For reference...

#

I just need the "Casinopolis" title sprite, and maybe even the .kra file since I too have Krita.

warm hazel
#

Btw, this is the thumbnail.

#

Yeah, I know it looks like it's made by thirteen Years Old.

#

The title of the add-on is...

alpine iron
#

There is some charm to it regardless.

#

Signature_Name's Bad Radio Announcer

alpine iron
#

Feel free to write your description rn.

warm hazel

@alpine iron
"Hi everyone! This is the announcer of the add-on, and yes, it's my first time trying out my voice on an absolutely toasted microphone... And yeah, it sounds pretty terrible. Perfect!"

"Now for something a little more bizarre: this add-on is somehow linked to the Platypus Casinopolis Mod. What? I don't know either!"

"So what sets this add-on apart? Most of the power-ups in the game have entirely new names, including the difficulty levels!"

"Why would you want to go with 'Auto Fire', when you could say 'Rapid Fire'? And 'Fish', where's the fun in that when you can say 'FIH'?!"

"Confusion, bad voice acting, and chaos all rolled into one!"

The same will be true to your add-on version of your announcer.

I still find this funny

Ohh.

Most of your Views is uhh Asian.

alpine iron

#

For Platypus videos?

alpine iron

From the looks of it.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

Same can be said for Claymatic Wiki's YT videos.

compact zodiac
#

That is actually fitting given the creator is from New Zealand

torpid hearth

Remember: Asian is a really big community so Make Sense.

Oceania is technically within the Eastern World, yet has the same traditions as the Western World.

truly the

i wonder who can guess what this is

alpine iron
#

Insaniquarium?

fading python
#

I mean is fish themed so i guess so it can be

sharp verge
#

fish tank?

#

with algae on the right? idk

warm hazel
#

So uhh this is the third design of my miniboss

#

I'll probably gonna smooth it out soon.

#

Like really soon

alpine iron
#

A Radio-themed miniboss would be fire.

torpid hearth
alpine iron
#

I suppose so.

torpid hearth
#

Okay first of all, the design look so famillar and somehow unique

fading python
#

maybe it should be simpler

torpid hearth
#

the weapon? well it seems this type of miniboss will be like bullet hell gameplay

alpine iron
#

Maybe the base model should be of a super spinner type.

#

Well, I'm talking about its visual design.

#

Specially if we were to push through bullet hell gameplay.

torpid hearth
#

OMFG, its a Psikyo Boss Moves

#

LOOK AT THE DOWN ONE

alpine iron
#

Plus, all the guest bosses so far are modelled after a vanilla enemy.

fading python
#

it would be nice to keep the tradiction

alpine iron
#
  • Psychosquid - squid
  • Black Queen - flip plane
  • MAKYUNI - goldfish
warm hazel
alpine iron
#

I see.

warm hazel
#

And as I said before, it has a fast placing fight.

fading python
#

there like 7 turrets on this thing

warm hazel
alpine iron
#

Simplifying stuff also reduces the burden for coders. ;3

warm hazel
#

My miniboss looks like from fucking Strikers 1945 Bosses

alpine iron
#

I mean, we have the Black Queen which is heavily inspired from Strikers 1945.

**Silver Ship:**What about me, mate?!

#

Poor dude, he wish to become a guest midboss.

fading python
#

i swear

#

am stopping guess minibosses production after the ones we have planned

alpine iron
#

Guest minibosses are to be approved once a contributor had done direct contributions to the mod itself.

#

But right now, we no longer have available slots for more.

#

So, sorry y'all. chipWhite

#

All 5 have already been filled.

#

With the one for Level X3 being a secret for the time being. ;3

#

Signature's will be encountered on Level X4.

warm hazel
# fading python there like 7 turrets on this thing

Okay so since Tar mention it that my miniboss has 7 turrets, here's the details to it:

Hatch I - This is like responsible to releasing a Whip-Splash Gas Effect

Wing Hatch - It release a spreading bullet

Belly Fire Turrent - (Fun fact, it has another turret to it's lower center body) this is responsible to making a special moves Attack.

Split Fire Turret - This one might be the most deadly move, because it shoots three big and fast bullet in three directions with a little bullet trail on it.

MK-II Spread Shot Turret - this one is uhh really threat. Because it will shoots a spreading big and fast bullet with a oval shape bullet that looks like Revenge bullet Design.

fading python
#

i didn't mention it as a good thing

alpine iron
#

Which one?

fading python
#

the turret ammount coments

alpine iron
#

I see.

Wait, and also this boss is NOT random move it has a pattern that it follows.

I'm currently doing the FINAL Design of my Miniboss.

tribal charm

not sure why i wrote mr

#

is just a machine, genderless by nature

#

or by hand i guess

If anything, any machine named by humans would have feminine pronouns.

tribal charm
warm hazel
#

Quite struggle, but it's not hard.

alpine iron
#

I see.

warm hazel
#

Btw, the Miniboss is quite big.

fading python
#

i preffer not increasing the background speed too much

warm hazel
alpine iron
#

The omni chip fakeout boss was like 2x scroll multiplier.

fading python
#

still that is just like 10 seconds

warm hazel
alpine iron
#

Indeed.

#

i suffer from motion sickness
so very fast backgrounds are a no to me

#

Dang.

#

They'll break immersion.

warm hazel
#

Fine, no speed up background.

deft cosmos
#

Oh ok

warm hazel
#

Guess it's normal.

alpine iron
fading python
#

also the motion sickness is why i moved x2 walls 1 layer down

#

so it scrolled a bit slower

#

also x2 has a slower scroll speed

warm hazel
#

Lesson Learned: Don't Suggest to speedup the background.

alpine iron
#

At least here in Platypus.

alpine iron
#

Also IIRC, menu x2 used to use the default scroll speed as opposed to 0.8x speed.

fading python
#

yeah

#

i remember when x2 menu used to spam pipes

alpine iron
#

That as well.

#

Oh, the memories

fading python
#

also the slower speed was added with it full rework

alpine iron
#

The slower speed on menu x2?

#

If so, then it was something I've done iirc.

fading python
#

slower speed in the level itself

alpine iron
#

Ah, I see.

#

On d3.1 release then.

#

Menu x2 received the slower speed on d4.1 then afaik.

fading python
#

i guess so

fading python
#

i suck at size scaling

alpine iron
#

This is an inescapable reality of big mods. chipPink

fading python
#

Sadly not sure if that is something we could fix

#

I think you should write a comment clarifying it fish

alpine iron
#

"Unfortunately that is something we cannot fix, at least without compromising our vision. It all boils down to your device specifications."

#

Does that sound good?

fading python
#

Yeah

sharp verge
#

"Get a new PC" ahh

fading python
#

Beat me to the joke

fading python
#

I mean i guess i can make
Casinopolis budget edition

That replaces every background with a neon grid

#

Also heavely compreses the enemies sprites

compact zodiac
#

Go a mile further

#

Do it like woodman, make nearly every texture the exact same

alpine iron
#

gamemoretv's PNG Invaders add-on be like...

compact zodiac
#

It's casinopolis so make every single thing a png of a casino

#

That'd be epic af

#

That one photo that psychosquid took that inspired a lot of the x5 assets

#

Hahah, ye that one.

But i do like to make a budget version of the mod
