Esocatalyst - Showcase & Discussion

[zenith kernel]

Esocatayst consists of my random ideas, may add a proper progression and campaign later. Sortta inspired by NH, not as much as of recently. Featuring The Lycor Legions and their fleets.

these are a couple units I have made for the mod and I have more planned. Yet again these are just my ideas. If you have any suggestions for units feel free to give me them

Preview of a unit I have cooking up now. Might take a while

[zenith kernel]

Second preview. I know it doesnt look like much but it'll be better I promise

That reminds me. Repo: https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn

[subtle tulip]

soviet anthem intensifies

[zenith kernel]

Later

[subtle tulip]

:<

[zenith kernel]

I'll add twilight then illitch. Cuz I have't actually sprited illitch yet😏

[subtle tulip]

ok

[south rose]

i love the turret

[zenith kernel]

The modified turret you gave to me for free👀

When the full unit is done I will send a screenshot of it ingame in all its glory

[south rose]

okay

[round acorn]

mk it have a front shield

like erekir spooder

so its a flying big face with a funy shield and funny artillery

[zenith kernel]

Nice idea. I will add that

[round acorn]

yay

[zenith kernel]

I have completed the unit. Now I need to sprite the cell, shield and code everything

[zenith kernel]

Twilight is complete.

[south rose]

gud

dang

[zenith kernel]

I need to finish code then I'll show you its missile bombardment

[subtle tulip]

👍

[zenith kernel]

Who wants to be bombarded

There is a slight visual issue with the missile shoot effect not showing above the unit but I assume if I set a low alltitude field that will fix

[subtle tulip]

yes it will fix

[zenith kernel]

It is fixed

[subtle tulip]

also in your missile's flares

invert color1 and color2

[subtle tulip]

noic

[zenith kernel]

Missile code definitely not taken from EL disfigure missile code

[subtle tulip]

LMAO

ye i might need to fix that

[zenith kernel]

Lol

[subtle tulip]

it fixed now :3

[zenith kernel]

I have completed twilight other than the shield I need to add

Cool detail. It applies shock and leting to units

Actually no. It only applies melting

I forgot I changed shock and not added another field

Oh yea. The shield I have to add

[subtle tulip]

onoice

[zenith kernel]

I just don't know how to add a shield that has a certain shape.

[subtle tulip]

disable drawArc and make a custom shield region

[zenith kernel]

Oh is that it? I already made the shield sprite

[subtle tulip]

wye

*ye

[zenith kernel]

Helps? I have defo done something wrong

[subtle tulip]

why?

[zenith kernel]

It doesnt show up on the unit. I have the sprite and everythng

[subtle tulip]

what's your sprite suffix

[zenith kernel]

It has the thingy tho lol

[subtle tulip]

go check in mindustry source the suffix of tecta's shield

[zenith kernel]

the sprite is called twilight-shield

[subtle tulip]

hm

[zenith kernel]

Tecta's shield is quite literraly called tecta-shield

[subtle tulip]

you sure you don't have typo

[zenith kernel]

Very much

[subtle tulip]

hm

is your sprite white?

[zenith kernel]

I made it draw the thing and uhh?

[zenith kernel]

Yes the sprite is white

[subtle tulip]

lower its radius

[zenith kernel]

This us the sprite

[subtle tulip]

or make the radius higher and make the shield be offset on the y axis backwards

[round acorn]

hm

lookin good

[zenith kernel]

But the sprite isnt there on the unit. I still attempts to draw one

[subtle tulip]

h m

[zenith kernel]

It has no radius?

[subtle tulip]

well if nothing else works make it a part with -shield for suffix and layer 125

[subtle tulip]

https://mindustrygame.github.io/wiki/Modding Classes/ShieldArcAbility/#shieldarcability

[zenith kernel]

Brother I have been sat on that the entire time

[subtle tulip]

u h

[subtle tulip]

maybe put region: HC-expanded-dawn-twilight-shield?

[zenith kernel]

I'll try that

Lol

[round acorn]

needs to be bigger and closer

thats it

i think

[subtle tulip]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[round acorn]

wait why is there a shield in the middle too LOL

[subtle tulip]

holdon i had a mod with a shield arc in a unit

lemme find it

github ain't loading lmao

[zenith kernel]

Which one was it?

[subtle tulip]

you need to set the region

you put your mod name as defined in your mod.hjson

and then your region name

with a - beetween

[subtle tulip]

HC-Expanded-Dawn is what's in your mod.hjson right?

[zenith kernel]

Yes

Yet it still doesnt work

[subtle tulip]

bruh

well just do the patchup solution i proposed

you can even customize the color if you do it like that :3

[zenith kernel]

Bruh

I'll keep trying. I will scour the mod browser to find something

[subtle tulip]

might also be a problem with capital letters...

[zenith kernel]

Turn out I can't find anything

[zenith kernel]

How?

[subtle tulip]

idk

[zenith kernel]

Am I not meant to have caps?

[subtle tulip]

i think puters don't like caps just don't take my word for it

[zenith kernel]

I'll try no caps

Ahould I change the mod.hjson to no caps aswell

mmmm. Tasty

[subtle tulip]

nice :3

so caps were indeed the problem

just i suggest increasing the shield radius, moving it backwards a few tiles, and disabling the draw thing

[zenith kernel]

I didn't even need to change the hjson. only the unit mcode

[subtle tulip]

lmao 💀

[zenith kernel]

Finally. Twilight is complete

[round acorn]

yay

the guns being above the shield makes it kinda weird

but very cool

[subtle tulip]

nice

[subtle tulip]

nah the shield's above the gun

[round acorn]

yeah

thats what i meant

words confuse me

[subtle tulip]

it looks a bit weird maybe

but it's fine

[subtle tulip]

gonna go make PRs to give trails to every other unit

[zenith kernel]

Okay

I'll merge them later and fix them

[subtle tulip]

ok

just my internet's bad

so it takes 45748678576856787 years to submit any shit

FUCK I FORGOR THE COLORS CAUSE I WAS FOCUSED ON MY INTERNET

DAMMIT

also it triple submited

what the fuck

i hate this shit

i wanna go back home 😭

[subtle tulip]

nevermind my internet is too crappy

[zenith kernel]

Safe to say the fleet expands

[subtle tulip]

did you merge the prs i managed to do?

[zenith kernel]

Yes

[subtle tulip]

do the trails work well?

[zenith kernel]

I edited the X and Y coords to be better becuase they were both a bit off but yes they do work well

It probably helps they dont have a low altitude field

[subtle tulip]

oki

ye cause it allows the trail to be beetween 100 and 110 wich gives them bloom

[zenith kernel]

Hopefully the mod browser will update and everyone can mess around with twilight and the new trail effects

[subtle tulip]

Oki

[zenith kernel]

Hmm. That issue with obliterates arms may be fixable now we found out they don't need caps for regions, it probably applies to parts and weapon parts but I can't be bothered now and obliterate is fine how it is now

[subtle tulip]

ok

[south rose]

wait

this mod is Json????

[zenith kernel]

Yes

Through and through

[subtle tulip]

sprite quality is not equal to programming language

[zenith kernel]

You can do anything with json if you slam stuff together and copy code from units to units

[zenith kernel]

Is that good or bad?

[subtle tulip]

depends

[zenith kernel]

Depend on what?

[subtle tulip]

on wether you consider advanced effects easier in json or java

[zenith kernel]

Fair enough

[round acorn]

how do the tiers work?

because i aint believing those are tier one's through 5 lol

[zenith kernel]

There are no tiers. Everything I add is just slapped onto it because I thought it was a cool thing to add

[round acorn]

oh

[zenith kernel]

Lol

[round acorn]

so how does making units work

im curious

dis cool

[zenith kernel]

So basically. There is no current way to make units because I never planned for that and this mod is just more of a 'I think its cool so I'll add it mod'. I could add unit factories and spawners but I never planned for it and all the units are horrendously balanced for vanilla campaigns

[round acorn]

ohh i see

[zenith kernel]

yeah. I could add that stuff in the future. I just have no plans currrently

[south rose]

@zenith kernel

[round acorn]

maybe could make for a fun extra 5 maps on the serpulo campaign

[south rose]

i actually sprite it for fun

-# u can take it

if u want

[zenith kernel]

I sprite everything in this mod for fun.

[south rose]

otherwise no

[zenith kernel]

Another free sprite?!?!?!? This shall be used for illitch

[south rose]

idk

(it look bad ig somehow)

[zenith kernel]

I will modify it. it may just be the flat decal line

[south rose]

ok

i mean

The reason I'm being so generous is that you're following the ancient style

[zenith kernel]

Generosity for the ancients

[south rose]

ancienter

free spri---

im gonna resprite it so uh

-# just take it

for Ancient,for Lord Yuria

[zenith kernel]

Hmm. Interesting

[south rose]

(im trying to sprite ancientish unit again)

im gonna chek ur sprite 💀

no learn it again,can i?

[zenith kernel]

Yeah sure. My sprites are not exactlly ancient

they are more of a spin on ancient

[south rose]

thx

[zenith kernel]

np

[south rose]

-# [ignore the "Ru" bc follow his ancient style too]

[zenith kernel]

Trying to do something with the center decal but it looks a bit wierd

I'll try multiple versions

[south rose]

what

lmao

and ...this is not ancient weapon style

[zenith kernel]

I'm trying to make the center decal look better than a straight line but I made it look like a zebra

[south rose]

lol

[round acorn]

looks like cool lazer

[south rose]

idk

[round acorn]

very lazer'i

[round acorn]

maybe only touch the center one

leave the rest as they are

[zenith kernel]

tried something different

[round acorn]

cooler for sure

[south rose]

pls change the shading,make it look ancientish

[zenith kernel]

I like my high contrast but I can change it

If I have to change the decal then i have to change these decals aswell

Unless i double decal?

Synthwave decals

[subtle tulip]

u h

[zenith kernel]

Gradient decal?

[subtle tulip]

no

[zenith kernel]

You cannot tell me that doesnt look at least a bit cool

I mean come on is this not cool

[subtle tulip]

it's cool but doesn't fit in mindoostry

[zenith kernel]

Are you telling me I can't slap that on a unit with the same gradiented decals and it wouldn't look somewhat cool

I'mma add a poll for a decal vote.

Pls vote

[zenith kernel]

@subtle tulip @round acorn @south rose Sorry for ping but you are the only ones here I can ping to vote.

[south rose]

okay

im watching u but

my wifi fucking bad

but voted.

[zenith kernel]

Okay. Thank you. You can go back to whatever you were doing.👍

[tardy hinge]

u can try to make the heat sprite as the gradient

[zenith kernel]

unfortunately piskel does not support transparency. I could probably download another art software just for the purpose of heat sprites tho

[tardy hinge]

u can give me the heat sprite

ill do a lil smth to it

or just download gimp

[zenith kernel]

I don't have heat sprite atm should I just turn the decal white and send it?

[tardy hinge]

sure

[subtle tulip]

use gimp

[zenith kernel]

bro wtf is gimp

[subtle tulip]

an image editor

it supports transparency

[zenith kernel]

The only gimp I know is when I call someone a gimp for being stupid

I'll download it

[zenith kernel]

What in gods green earth have I been presented with

[subtle tulip]

gimp

[zenith kernel]

So am i just meant to fuck around and find out?

[tardy hinge]

yeh

or just google the stuff

[zenith kernel]

I have unlocked opening the heat sprite

So how do I make it transparent?

[subtle tulip]

use gradient tool

with replace mode (or erase mode i don't rember exactly)

[zenith kernel]

I am so confused

Like this?

[tardy hinge]

i tried improving your logo

[zenith kernel]

Oh jesus is that sick

Will it work as the logo in the mod browser?

[zenith kernel]

@subtle tulip Is this how its meant to look?

[subtle tulip]

nope you inverted the points

[zenith kernel]

Is it meant to be the other way around?

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

Okay

How do I save it as a png? It forces me to save it as .xcf

Should I just save it then change the file extension to .png?

[subtle tulip]

export to png button

[zenith kernel]

ah

I'll deal with code later

[tardy hinge]

i use overwrite

[zenith kernel]

New icon works

[subtle tulip]

noice

[zenith kernel]

I need to sprite illitch's body, cell, and other weapons lol

[subtle tulip]

💀

[zenith kernel]

I also decided to start spriting a tank for some reason?

[subtle tulip]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[zenith kernel]

Welp tank

[subtle tulip]

ye looks gug

[zenith kernel]

Tank that was meant to be a quick sprite ended up taking a while. Heres retain

Obvious inspiration from my good friend locus

[zenith kernel]

Updates with the main weapon

[frail fossil]

i think the gradient looks awesome (i voted)

doesn't matter if it's not mindustry style because this mod is not vanilla mindustry, you can do whatever you want as long as it looks cool

[zenith kernel]

There right there is a man that thinks smart

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

Also. I'm trying to learn to animate tank barrels

[subtle tulip]

doparts

[zenith kernel]

Yes I am

and It works perfectly

[zenith kernel]

The outlines are not showing on the barrels tho

[subtle tulip]

layerOffset: 1 in the weapon

[zenith kernel]

Okay

I have made every barrel a seperate weapon because i am too dumb to work out alternating barrels sprites in one weapon. They side ones just have a firstshotdelay and the middle one is its own seperate explosive shot

Its beautiful

[subtle tulip]

💀

you gotta give the weapon a recoils:3

[zenith kernel]

Btw do you know what type of bullet the locus weapons have? I wanna add that to the side weapons

[subtle tulip]

and then make each barrel a part and give those parts recoilIndex going from 0 to 2

[zenith kernel]

Bro idk what all that means

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

My current setup works fine anyway

[tardy hinge]

rail bullet type

[zenith kernel]

Isnt that the forshadow bullettype?

[tardy hinge]

i think

it can be point bullet type too

[zenith kernel]

Its hard to tell tbh

But railbullet types pierce automatically

[subtle tulip]

ye that's why locus' has a pierceDamageFactor of 0.7

[zenith kernel]

So it is a railbullet type?

[subtle tulip]

ye

[zenith kernel]

Okay

Do you know any specific or do I just have to slap numbers on it until it looks the same as locus?

[subtle tulip]

you gotta use particle effects

[zenith kernel]

How does 3 recoils work and seperate parts?

[subtle tulip]

in each part you put recoilIndex

the first shot in a series of 3 will have for recoilIndex 0

second one 1

third one 2

and then it loops back down to 0

[zenith kernel]

So with that I can have all the weapons be merged into one?

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

how does that work with shots?

weapons: [
{
name: retain-weapon
mirror: false
alternate: false
top: true
rotate: true
rotateSpeed: 1.2
x: 0
y: 0
reload: 40
layerOffset: 1
parts: [
{
type: RegionPart
suffix: -sidemg1
moveY: -3
moveX: 0
progress: recoil
mirror: false
under: true
}
]
shoot: {
type: ShootBarrel
barrels: [
-3.25, +4, 0,
]
firstShotDelay: 0
shots: 1
shotDelay: 0
}
inaccuracy: 0
recoil: 0.1
shootSound: bolt
shootEffect: none
bullet: {
type: LaserBulletType
pierceCap: 1
length: 160
width: 3
colors: [D7BDFF, D7BDFF, D7BDFF]
damage: 38
homing: false
}
}

This is code for one weapon. I copied that with different values for the others. How do I add the recoil index then merge them properrly

[subtle tulip]

same thing

[zenith kernel]

So do you put recoilindex into 3 seperate shot values?

but they are in the same weapon instead

[subtle tulip]

you gotta add "recoils: 3" in the weapon

[subtle tulip]

no

you put recoilIndex the same as the number of your barrel

your shootBarrel code is wrong btw

[zenith kernel]

How do I fix it?

[subtle tulip]

barrels are defined as x, y, rotation

you defined 1 barrel

with an x of -3.25

y of 4

and rotation of 0

[zenith kernel]

Thats correct no?

[subtle tulip]

you only set 1 of your 3 barrels

barrels don't mirror yk

[zenith kernel]

Thats because thats one weapon

I haven't began the merge yet

[subtle tulip]

owait that's just 1 weapon

ok

[zenith kernel]

I'm asking how to properrly merge them lol

[subtle tulip]

just merge now and we'll talk later

just set shots to 3 and add the barrels to your barrels array

[zenith kernel]

shoot: {
type: ShootBarrel
barrels: [
-3.25, +4, 0,
0, +5, 0,
+3.25, +4, 0,
]
firstShotDelay: 0
shots: 3
shotDelay: 0
}

[subtle tulip]

ye

wait no

you gotta add a shotDelay too

if you want separate recoils

[zenith kernel]

So a shotdelay of a random value. 20 will work?

[subtle tulip]

ye

[zenith kernel]

Okay

shoot: {
type: ShootBarrel
barrels: [
-3.25, +4, 0,
0, +5, 0,
+3.25, +4, 0,
]
firstShotDelay: 0
shots: 3
shotDelay: 20
}

Do I add seperate bullet codes now?

[subtle tulip]

no you just need 1 bullet code

[zenith kernel]

But if I want seperate bullet codes how would I do that?

[subtle tulip]

different weapons

[zenith kernel]

Bruh. That is how I did it before. but one of the barrels had a different range than the others so one would turn a different way chasing another unit

[subtle tulip]

💀 then reduce its range

[zenith kernel]

Even though lifetime defines a normal bullets range and length defines a lasers range and both are not interchangable 💀

[round acorn]

yup

i like red purple lazers

it'll be cool

[zenith kernel]

Welp. The gradient has won the vote 2 hours before it ends with a staggering 4 votes compared to red and purple with both 1 vote

[round acorn]

yas

[round acorn]

dont make the middle canon fire explosives imo

[zenith kernel]

Its cool tho

I'll just set all their ranges to the same

so there is no turning issues

[round acorn]

ik, but when you think about it, it dosent work, they all look the same

i mean, you could make every canon fire a lazer, and on top of that a small bullet that follows the lazer path

that'd be cool

i have a mod that does that leme show it how it looks later

[zenith kernel]

The middle one is more beafy and has decal. The side ones are thinner and do not have decal

[round acorn]

ohh

[round acorn]

yeah nvm its good then

maybe place the lazers below the artillery

as sort of holding rails

that could be cool

(im not solving anything btw, just saying some stuff i think could be pretty nice imo)

[zenith kernel]

I'll save that idea for a later unit

[round acorn]

mhm

[zenith kernel]

Maybe a hovertank/hovercraft wth the guns placed on the front and it rotates quickly instead of having a turret?

[round acorn]

now, is the cannon an artillery? like, does it pass through blocks?

[round acorn]

yeahhh

a flying hetser

(or a better core unit)

(whatever you wanna call)

[zenith kernel]

God I really need to make illitch now

I've been delaying with the tank and the vote

Illitch will probably be a figurehead of my fleets. Big and beefy but accompanied with support

[zenith kernel]

Got bored. Made a hovercraft. I promise I'll make Illitch next.

Actual full impede. I WILL make Illitch next just give me while it'll be big

[zenith kernel]

I have begun construction of Illitch. Here is its size compared to the current widest unit(Twilight)

[south rose]

💀

[zenith kernel]

Beeg

The starting shade outline. (Yes this is my unit construcion process so what)

[frail fossil]

hey whatever works man

[zenith kernel]

Slow progess. Lightone shapes and decal streaks[For the gradient decals later] have been added, there may be changes in connections and seperations later (The green line is drawn to show the mirror plane it is not automatic😢 )

[subtle tulip]

o k i n i c e

maybe try using jamuu's unit spriting guide?

ohwaityourdoingNHstylenvm

[zenith kernel]

This is how I make my units and you will not question it because it is a different style

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

Yes

[zenith kernel]

God I just realized how much the shape of illitch looks like a moth

[round acorn]

moth?

MOTH?

its a FLYING WALL!!

where did you get moth from

[zenith kernel]

You tellin me. That illitch don't look like a moth?

[round acorn]

i mean

you could say it looks like anything with wings

like a butterfly

i eamnt by like

its stiff

it dosent have moving wings

[zenith kernel]

I was saying its just kinda shaped like a moth. I didn't say it is gonna be a moth

[round acorn]

i see

but i still stand by the idea of a flying wall

[south rose]

F-L-A-T

[zenith kernel]

Bit more progress than yesterday. Adding many details and smaller decal pieces to the lightone shapes for the later connections and decal lightones

[zenith kernel]

Final details and completed gradient decals. Cells will be made tomorrow and then weapons can be made and the final stage is coding

[subtle tulip]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY

also i made mistake there's only one l in ilitch

[subtle tulip]

f l a t b o ï t h o

[untold meadow]

his ass is NOT new horizon

[subtle tulip]

ye absolutly not

[zenith kernel]

guh

[zenith kernel]

ILITCH IS COMPLETE!!

[subtle tulip]

Un vent de Sibérie souffle sur la Bohème
Les femmes sont en colère aux portes des moulins
Des bords de la Volga au delta du Niémen
Le temps s'est écoulé il a passé pour rien
Puisqu'aucun dieu du ciel ne s'intéresse à nous
Lénine relève-toi, ils sont devenus fous
Toi Vladimir Illitch, t'as raison tu rigoles
Toi qui a voyagé dans un wagon plombé
Quand tu vois le Saint-Père ton cousin de Pologne
Bénir tous ses fidèles dans son auto blindée
Toi Vladimir Illitch, est-ce qu'au moins tu frissonnes
En voyant les tiroirs de la bureaucratie
Remplis de tous ces noms de gens qu'on emprisonne
Ou qu'on envoie mourir aux confins du pays
Toi Vladimir Illitch, au soleil d'outre-tombe
Combien d'années faut-il pour gagner quatre sous
Quand on connaît le prix qu'on met dans une bombe
Lénine relève-toi ils sont devenus fous
Où sont passés les chemins de l'espoir
Dans quelle nuit, au fond de quel brouillard
Rien n'a changé, les damnés de la Terre
N'ont pas trouvé la sortie de l'Enfer
Toi qui avait rêvé l'égalité des Hommes
Tu dois tomber de haut dans ton éternité
Devant tous ces vieillards en superbe uniformes
Et ces maisons du peuple, dans des quartiers privés
Ô, toi Vladimir Illitch, si tu es le prophète
Viens nous parler encore en plein cœur de Moscou
Et répands la nouvelle à travers la planète
Amis du genre humain, ils sont devenus fous

[subtle tulip]

it'd look dope asf if its sprite was less flat but ye it's nice :3

[zenith kernel]

I now need to code it!

and sprite and code a missile!

[subtle tulip]

yay! make the missile look like this.

[zenith kernel]

The missile is meant to be hurled in a random direction from this thing. So it needs to be small enough

[subtle tulip]

o k

(i might take ilitch sprite and upgrade it in piskel later)

[zenith kernel]

if it looks like shit in my opinion you will be told that

[subtle tulip]

oki :3

(note i'll do it later)

[subtle tulip]

meow :3

[tardy hinge]

nah ill be the one to upgrade it

[subtle tulip]

nah i'd make it gud too

[tardy hinge]

challenge?

[subtle tulip]

hmmm

imma just start with the main body sprite

[tardy hinge]

may the better spriter win

[subtle tulip]

do we keep the gradient decal?

[subtle tulip]

do we keep the gradient decal?

[tardy hinge]

yeah why not

[subtle tulip]

lmao it's literally so wide i can't fit it all 💀

[tardy hinge]

it will make it harder tho

[subtle tulip]

ye ik i don't wanna keep the gradient decal because of that

imma not keep the gradient decal

[tardy hinge]

layout complete

[zenith kernel]

Well if you remove the gradient decal then I'll have to add it back which won't make me very impressed. Do it at your own displeasure

[subtle tulip]

i'm smoothening the shapes first i'm stupid

also i only do 1 side and then flip it

[zenith kernel]

Crazy how two people are revamping my sprite

[tardy hinge]

-# i feel like this is a waste of time for me

-# i need to fix copious amounts of errors in my mod

[subtle tulip]

i'll do the gradient ok but then i'll make the gradient go yellow to red

[tardy hinge]

also how will the sickle and hammer function ingame

[zenith kernel]

Still working on that

[subtle tulip]

starting the shading

[tardy hinge]

i wonder why dont we make this a collab

[subtle tulip]

hmmm

why not

i tried giving it a more interesting an threatening shape mostly

[tardy hinge]

give the sprite

ill make it a lil more smoother

and cruiser like

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

Oh my god. It is no longer a competition. It is a collab for a unit resprite

I have never seen this is the history of mindustry modding

[subtle tulip]

lmao

also i sprite my units one half at a time

i wanted to make it feel tentacular

[zenith kernel]

Heres you two collabing on a resprite and I'm coding the weapons

[subtle tulip]

alright

lmao

qhar

[tardy hinge]

whar

i think discord does this silly stuff with sprites

[subtle tulip]

ye so i did modifications to it based on what i saw in yours

now imma add the decal (also i am changing the decal colors because they fucking suck)

[tardy hinge]

no dont

i have smth crazier planned

[subtle tulip]

o k a y

[zenith kernel]

MF this is my unit. Are you trying to offend me and my unit

[subtle tulip]

so do i stop trying mine?

[tardy hinge]

do the decals normaly

ill add the gradients

and smth special

[subtle tulip]

o k a y

but what about the image size changing???

this is my take on decals for it

midtoning time

[zenith kernel]

@tardy hinge What if I use this but scale it down for a smaller ship in the mod?

[tardy hinge]

sure

[zenith kernel]

Cheers

[subtle tulip]

nic

smoothening time @tardy hinge

[tardy hinge]

dont smoothen it out

keep it a lil rugged

[subtle tulip]

no i mean making it respect the spriting guilelines

duidglenis

guidelines

[tardy hinge]

45 deg rule right

yeh i do that too

[subtle tulip]

yep

guh

gonna take break

[zenith kernel]

I scaled Cy's guy down. I'll still add more and give it weapons but welcome stryke into the fleet

[south rose]

ugh

cy4nide0165 and mindustridiot_06647 and hungrycloud4913 collabing and uh

can i have a seat? @zenith kernel

[zenith kernel]

Like a unit or a collab or something? Yeah of course you can!

[south rose]

:0

i have augh

can we make it kind of "U" shape battleship?

[zenith kernel]

Yeah. I can woek on it and make it more U shaped.

Any weapon ideas?

[south rose]

nope:(

u just finish it today uh

i found some cool shape for another unit with this

[zenith kernel]

I'll add some random weapons then

[south rose]

okay

[zenith kernel]

By the way have you got a name idea or should I come up with one?

[south rose]

ye u should

but the name uh

idk

[zenith kernel]

Let me check my list of unit concepts for weapon ideas and unit names

'Remian. A large unit that when defeated creates 2 weaker hologram clones and calls some smaller reinforcements to attack enemies.' Alright so the idea for the hologram this time around: chop some extra bits off and remove one or two smaller weapons so they don't get confusing. Another ship 'focus' has this idea but I still don't know how to implement it with json

[south rose]

so uh

[south rose]

whar

whats kind of hologram?

[south rose]

are you gonna re make it?

or just use it?

[zenith kernel]

Well the concept for focus holograms is they are blue because the decal is blue, meaning all grey is replaced with a blue colour to mimic an energy hologram

[zenith kernel]

I'll get around to doing something with it. I just have no idea what to do with it

[south rose]

uh is it possible in json?

[south rose]

just dont take it

pls resprite it

look very bad

wah

[zenith kernel]

Well the colouring is. Spawning the units upon death is another issue

[south rose]

dang

[zenith kernel]

This is the basic premise

Yes I had to recolour every weapon and save them with -hologram at the end then change weapon code to have -hologram at the end

[zenith kernel]

I shall

[south rose]

hm

[south rose]

owo

can u show some gameplay?

not important question

[zenith kernel]

I have no idea how to record a vid so creenshots/clipping tool images will have to work. Gimme a min to send them to kill origin

[south rose]

oh fine

dont take it seriously

i just lazy to install mod(lazy to play mindustry too)

[zenith kernel]

There are some issues with heat sprites because they are just solid blocks of colour and they make units transparent for some reason but they have small machine guns missile clusters, explosive ?star? cannons and the main middle rail laser

[south rose]

oh

[subtle tulip]

i have no idea!

[zenith kernel]

No idea of what?

[subtle tulip]

how to fix it

maybe you're missing a -heat part sprite

[zenith kernel]

Neither

Btw a little illitch weapon preview. The rotating missile launcher

[subtle tulip]

dam 💀

[zenith kernel]

Using the power of my recently discovered barrels field I can make the missiles be shot rotating around the weapon in a perfect octagon

[subtle tulip]

👍

imma keep working on my sprite rework

[south rose]

ahh

whys look better than my fucking sprite

mine look blurry af

[zenith kernel]

Maybe discord issues

[pulsar copper]

new horizon expansion pack confirmed

[subtle tulip]

hm

[south rose]

@zenith kernel

hows the progress

[zenith kernel]

Slow progress because I'm working on multiple things outside of mindustry at the moment. Progress is progress nonetheless

[subtle tulip]

@zenith kernel make ilitch have a weapon wich fires a rocket that's like the russian R36 missile (better known under its nato designation: "Satan".)

Or maybe the RS28

also known as

"satan 2"

because they needed to give it a fucking sequel

[zenith kernel]

More work that will be procrastinated upon👍

[subtle tulip]

yay

[zenith kernel]

Got bored. Made epithelial and phagocyte. I'm a bit burnt out on the mod and coding so I'll end up making small sprites and doing all the code later

[zenith kernel]

Got bored again. Basing names off cells so here we have B-cell and T-cell, both use parts taken from an NH weapon and glued on

[subtle tulip]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[zenith kernel]

Whats funny? The name or the glued on parts

[subtle tulip]

the parts

[zenith kernel]

Peak part reuse

[subtle tulip]

agree

d

[zenith kernel]

Just a couple missile weapons inspired by some other NH weapons

[south rose]

💀

[zenith kernel]

I like missiles. I like having missiles on display. They look cool

I'll try making more random weapons for big units instead of having dedicated weapons for each unit

but smaller units will have dedicated weapons

[subtle tulip]

whenIlitch?

[zenith kernel]

WhenCanBeBothered

Jokes aside I have every single weapon needed I just need to spend the hours coding it. I might remake the body sprite once I'm done with that but yet again thats when I can be bothered

That remind me how much fixing I need to do to units

Obliterate needs to have its opening attack be a seperate weapon and animation and be animated with shot delay and over complicated effects and thats after I add the original missile weapons I was gonna add to begin with. That one tank I made need to have its tracks fixed because I just don't understand how tank tread code works. I need to work on other actual units and code some units I've already done. I have some items and liquids I made that need coding and then it would be nice to have factories for everything.

mmmmm. Brainstoring and literaly telling everyone here all the stuff I need to do but haven't done

[south rose]

[zenith kernel]

I'm makin a poll for the people to decide what I do bsfore all this work piles up on me.

[south rose]

go play No Man's Sky

[south rose]

do u know whos Paracetamol?

[subtle tulip]

meow

[south rose]

owo

Moew~

[subtle tulip]

purrrr

[zenith kernel]

I thought you were called paracetamol. Someone took the name?

[south rose]

yeah

someone named Paracetamol

mine is uh

panhelicoptertranElysiagender

[zenith kernel]

Got a bit bored. Took a nucleoid and added to it and it is now a salvaged nucleoid for my faction. Welcome Nucleoizoros(I couldn't be bothered adding every weapon so it just has the missile silo to fill that big blank space

[south rose]

moew?

[subtle tulip]

mrawrawraw :3

[zenith kernel]

Instead of coding ilitch I'm gonna make him bigger to be nucleoid scaled

And I'll try making him actually NH styled, just give me a couple days

Accidentally made a new gradient with swapping decals colours around

[zenith kernel]

Woohoo, NH style on the way

Just give me like maybe a week at max to resprite the unit and rescale all the weapons and/or add different or more weapons

I'm gonna replace the 360 shooting missile barrage for two side barrages that alternate

This'll be all my progress for today. I'll continue working on it for days to come

[subtle tulip]

💀

[zenith kernel]

Me when actual NH

[subtle tulip]

nic

[zenith kernel]

Nevermind a new design is in order. Bigger to be cooler and more nucleoid scaled. I literraly rotated nucleoid 90 degrees and based the canvas size off of that to scale the new design

[tardy hinge]

seriously

bro u gotta stop making this thing bigger

[zenith kernel]

I wanted it nucleoid scaled and then found out it wasn't. This should be the final size and/or design

I mean it is meant to be a flagship after all. You can't have flagship without big, cool, and leading

[low schooner]

Okay but how about don't delete old unit? Just leave it in mod, for example it can be hidden in game and called "ilitch (old)" or something like that

[zenith kernel]

Interesting

Oh for F- Its still not even anywhere close I would have been better off doubling the size of the first redesign

[low schooner]

0_0
...

[zenith kernel]

I will keep old ilitch btw

Just rename it lol

[low schooner]

I hadn't even thought about how big a
nucleoid actually is...

[zenith kernel]

I swear it wasn't this big last time I checked...

All I had to do was times the unit by 1.5 to make it nucleoid scaled with the first redesign You ahve got to be joking

[tardy hinge]

@zenith kernel making smth

makes nucleoid look small

[zenith kernel]

ooo

(MY POOR LAPTOP)

Bruh I wish I could remove all those skull reactions, it makes the mod look bad because of them and I'm putting all this work in for it

Actually I'm pinning that. Word of my wishes will spread nowhere

Maybe not. Forgot I can't do that😭

[subtle tulip]

unite is baaaaaac

[zenith kernel]

Oh damn. I forgot about that

The original ilitch name and concept

[subtle tulip]

yep :3

[zenith kernel]

You brought the memories back

[subtle tulip]

if you wanna make a unit line i have a few name proposals:
T1: syndicate
T2: coagulate
T3: consulate
T4: soviet
T5: commune
T6: unite
T7: ilitch

[zenith kernel]

Oh damn. Will be emoji pinned and considered

Extracting weapon placements

[subtle tulip]

yay

[zenith kernel]

That origianlly massive turret is tiny now. So I think how about I make a double sided middle turret using two of them as barrels sort of like nucleoids big railgun, the big difference is they might be able to move freely as barrels and shoot long lasers sort of like the smaller pester dude with the black hole in the center

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

Renamed ilitch-full to ilitch-(old)

I'll also scrap the idea of point defense cuz It will just be a pain to add lol

[subtle tulip]

oki

[zenith kernel]

Weapon locations added, more structure and random bits here and there.

[zenith kernel]

All the work for today. Heres the current instead of one half

[south rose]

nic

[zenith kernel]

I haven't got much progress done so far today because I'm not very well versed in proper NH style and I've been playing ultrakill

I really spent most of my time editing a few small parts and making engines. Might work on it a bit more.

[zenith kernel]

Just realised how much bigger the hammer and sickle need to be now

[shy peak]

how big is that thing?

size

[south rose]

where are you from

[zenith kernel]

Canvas size is around 1900 x 680 I think

Its just barely bigger than a nucleoid

[shy peak]

crazy

and its only a part of the unit?

[zenith kernel]

Well in that photo is one half of the unit and the hammer + sickle, The unit is symmetrical but I am making one half because I can just mirror copy it when its complete

[subtle tulip]

holy fuck

[zenith kernel]

I got an idea to give ilitch big ass cannons so uh. yea

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

Ilitch-rampage, Three placed on each side with an extremely slow reload time and an extremely high damage output, I might be able to create impact frames for the weapons and what they shoot but idk

[subtle tulip]

make them shoot stars

[zenith kernel]

I shall make them shoot stars that rotate and look cool👍 , I'll have a big delay on them all so the possible impact frames would look better spaced out

[tardy hinge]

also can u make a nucleoid styled rocket silo

[subtle tulip]

the stars need to be yellow btw

[zenith kernel]

Why?

[zenith kernel]

I'm gonna make one of those to replace the rotating thing I have now

[subtle tulip]

makes a unit after communism
forgets the main color theme of communism

[zenith kernel]

I like the red and cannot be bothered changing it now, Also I changed the missile like chagup thingymabob, It actually looks cool now despite the fact its getting removed soon

I might be able to save the idea for another unit in the future

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

I should work on ilitch instead of making weapons and changing small code

[subtle tulip]

quite ppossibly

[zenith kernel]

I'm just lost on how to do the rest of it, I'm good at making big shapes for the main bit but all the darktone and extra darktone sections mixed in with scattered lightone pieces is confusing for me

[subtle tulip]

idk

[zenith kernel]

Imma make the missile silo instead, the one that'll be mirrored on the new version

[subtle tulip]

oki

so ilitch will be a sort of final boss?

[zenith kernel]

I call them flagships because I don't really plan a proper campaign and so far the mod is just my ideas and things you lot suggested that I added for fun. I guess you could call it a final boss

I have another unit that is final boss material:

Samsara. A giant unit that will die, then come back with a different colour and will be smaller yet only a little bit less powerful over and over until it is finally defeated in a large dense explosion that will most likely wipe out whatever had killed it and all other surrounding enemies.

[subtle tulip]

oki

[zenith kernel]

The price I must pay for making a big unit in NH style when I am not very good at NH style is it taking a week at least

[subtle tulip]

lmao

[zenith kernel]

@tardy hinge Made nucleoid style silo, also how is that really big unit you were making coming along?

[tardy hinge]

kinda bad it got too big

[zenith kernel]

Damn

I just dunno how to fill this bit to make in true NH

[subtle tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/random-bullshit-go-moon-knight-random-random-bullshit-gif-25725102

[zenith kernel]

Fair enough but I'm still stuck on it, I'll have to work on it slowly

[zenith kernel]

@subtle tulip @south rose @tardy hinge IT IS FINALLY COMPLETE!!!

[subtle tulip]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH

[zenith kernel]

IT IS BEAUTIFUL!

[subtle tulip]

SOVIET ANTHEM INTENSIFIES

the least flat of all your nh style sprites so far good job!!!!

[zenith kernel]

Thanks you! iT only took about 5 days I think

[subtle tulip]

goog job :3

[zenith kernel]

however I still have lots of weapon work and coding work to do so that shall be worked on further

[subtle tulip]

okiii (i can help code if you need)

[zenith kernel]

I will ask you when I need help, do not stress yourself on coding, I know how you've been lately and I don't want to make you're life harder

[subtle tulip]

:3 nah i'll help coding isn't stressful so long as it's not trying to fix a no reason error

well

i already ment if you need help

💀

[zenith kernel]

[subtle tulip]

i am dum

[zenith kernel]

I'm doing the first weapon tests of ilitch with what I have now

v This boi gonna be hella strong v

It appears my laptop has had some problems with such a large canvas

Made a release to let anyone know ilitch is still a heavy WIP

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn

All it has currently is the missile silos in a semi functional state

[subtle tulip]

o k i

[south rose]

MUHEHEHEHE

[tame tide]

:v

[zenith kernel]

@versed magnet How do I make a bullet frag bullet that shoots a certain direction?

or more specifically an interval bullet

[versed magnet]

intervalRandomSpread: 0
intervalAngle: (whatever you want)

[zenith kernel]

Thank you, (Glad you still have this account)

[versed magnet]

yeah

[zenith kernel]

So does an angle of 0 make it shoot forward?

[versed magnet]

yeah

imma go eep gn

[zenith kernel]

Okay gn dude

Accidentally made something pretty cool, Might use it for another unit later who knows

[versed magnet]

oooooooooo

[south rose]

those wu know💀

[subtle tulip]

I HAVE GOTTEN MINDUSTRIDIOT BACCKKKKK!!!!

[subtle tulip]

oooooooooooo

[zenith kernel]

I've been adding items and liquids but the bundles aren't working for them. All the items and lieuids do not have names or description in the code because I removed those fields for the bundles to work but it still doesn't

[subtle tulip]

u h h i d k

i think you don't need an s

it's singular

[zenith kernel]

The whonk armadas items section has #items?

oh wait

you meant the seperate items names and descriptions

@subtle tulip Right so I got the items working but the liquids still don't work?

[subtle tulip]

uh

idk

[zenith kernel]

I know you as the bundles man so I though you could help but I've never seen you put liquids into bundles

[low schooner]

wait... there is no need for a space between "item.name" and "= translation" ?....

: |

[zenith kernel]

No it doesnt matter with spaces but I just put them because I like it

Dam. Is this not the same layout other than the description and the mod name?

Oh wait hold on

there are some dots I could not see before

[low schooner]

all my life time when i'm making bundles was a lie

[low schooner]

**- **or .
...
Lol?

Anyway it's good if the problem is solved now.

[zenith kernel]

Alright I got it working

[zenith kernel]

Yez

Now I need to figure out animated item sprites...

I don't even know if it is possible with hjson

[shy peak]

i think its possible

use frames: (the amount of frames)

and make item sprite for each frame like
copper1 copper2 copper3

[zenith kernel]

Is that in the content code?

[shy peak]

in the sprite

[zenith kernel]

So I put the frame amount in the code and then make the seperate frame sprites?

[shy peak]

exactly

[zenith kernel]

Okay. I'll work on that tommorow. Is it alright if I ping you when its done or if I need help?

[shy peak]

its alright, im cool with it

[zenith kernel]

@shy peak Thank you so much, these look so cool ingame now

[shy peak]

no problem, glad it helped!

[zenith kernel]

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn

Alright so if any of you want to check out my new items and liquids go ahead! It should be noted that ilitch is of course still currently unfinished

[zenith kernel]

Got a bit carried away. Now all the cores I have glow from time to time.

[zenith kernel]

I've also updated the hjson to include more helpers

[south rose]

fun suggestions : u can change "memories_keeper1111" to Elysia:)

[zenith kernel]

Will do!

[zenith kernel]

I was just putting the @s because it would be more convenient when people can just change their display names at any time

[south rose]

yeah

I think the whole community is the only one named after Elysia

[ivory dew]

add a way to spawn the units

[zenith kernel]

Is that the 1000-THR 'earthmover'

[ivory dew]

Y E S

[zenith kernel]

I'm not sure if it's possible to make an NH jump gate in json

I might be able to if I slam code together but that would be very complicated

[ivory dew]

maybe make something more original?

like an dropship spawner

that will spawn the units

[zenith kernel]

Dropship spawner?

How would that look?

Maybe an orbital launch down animation. Dropping a unit from atmosphere

[subtle tulip]

it'd be possible to make summoners that are turrets

[ivory dew]

wait it may drop pods that contain units

[zenith kernel]

Interesting. But that would require a specific turret for each unit no?

[ivory dew]

it whould use unit capsule materials

as ammo

[subtle tulip]

hmmm well you could use unit capsule materials

and then a consumer

[ivory dew]

HEY THATS MY IDEA

[zenith kernel]

Surely that would only make sense for naval and ground units rather than air units?

[subtle tulip]

for extra stuff

[zenith kernel]

Interesting

You people are much more original than me

Benjamin you are going on the credits list with everyone else tommorow

So I am gonna think on that idea and post everything here

[low schooner]

Maybe a DroneCenter that spawns a unit with "portal" like effects (it doesn't do anything, just flying) and then this "portal" spawns the unit you want. But one block can spawn only one unit (portal).
I also definitely saw in Allure the implementation of a unit - a portal.

[zenith kernel]

That will also be considered

@subtle tulip @ivory dew I have ideas for the drop pod concept and just some sneaky ideas for environment blocks:

Drop pod type unit stuff: Seperate pods resources for seperate classes and types. Seperate turrets for each tier. There will be a special turret for misc units that don't have their own set tier system.

Pods are made in large factories and are very expensive, to make up for the fact that there are no real unit production bays.

Flagships have a custom turret that requires much more expensive things and special expensive liquids.

Environment ideas for later: Metallic structures, Crystalline environments

That pod resource Idea also made me think that it would leave the ability to stockpile unit pods and then use them all when needed

Thats a cool gameplay aspect

[zenith kernel]

Ah. The problem of balancing. Do I have one pod be really expensive and only use 1 per spawn, have 10 pods be less expensive and use 10 per spawn or, have 100 pods be cheap and use 100 per spawn.

I'mma make a poll for it actually

I'm setting it to 24 hours but I'll probabaly collect the votes when I wake up tommorow

[zenith kernel]

I have awoken

And 1 expensive pod wins by a 9-1 landslide

Very nice

[subtle tulip]

nice

[zenith kernel]

Now I gotta sprite the pods, the spawners, the production facilities and then code it all

Also mysteriously my discord has removed every single triangle from servers so idk

[subtle tulip]

yay

[subtle tulip]

is ilitch complete? @zenith kernel

[zenith kernel]

Nope

Slow progess because I ilitch is beeg

and I find cooler things to add or make

[subtle tulip]

oki

[zenith kernel]

I'm cooking up a colour system and icon system idea in my head for the sprites

So the idea is the middle notches are for the tier E.G.T1, T2, T3 .The top bar is for the travel method E.G.Spider, Mech, Naval. The bottom bar is for its usecase E.G.Offence, Defense, Specialist.

[zenith kernel]

I'm rethinking the colour and notches design. anyone got suggestions on how to manage the pods to indicate specific unit types and stuff?

[ivory dew]

when update!??!?!!?!!

[subtle tulip]

huh

[zenith kernel]

No idea

I still haven't decided on how the pods are gonna work

Too busy playing ultrakill aswell

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

I will P-rank P-2 someday. I will P-rank P-2 someday. I will P-rank P-2 someday. I will P-rank P-2 someday. I will P-rank P-2 someday.

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

I have had a revolution in my brain. I might be able to use multicrafter lib to make the number of factories to make pods greatly decrease

#1301694675727552586 message was inspired by hungry's ilitch.

[prisma heart]

noice

[zenith kernel]

OH. I had no idea that you were inspired by ilitch to make that. I feel very proud of myself now

[subtle tulip]

i just liked ilitch's shape

[zenith kernel]

I need to know. I don't care who answers, is it possible to put quadratics in a shotdelay?

Is it possible to have a delay of 1.1n+1 or -1.1n+6?

[zenith kernel]

Got my answer from #modding-general

[zenith kernel]

A little update on the mod. The pod idea and implementation has been backseated a bit and I'm gonna work on a smaller unit. Polnareff.

I'm gonna code it and then sprite it

[subtle tulip]

o k

[zenith kernel]

Basic shape down

[zenith kernel]

I have been working away. I'm trying to go for an aureus-ish style and it looks pretty good atm, (The decal colour will be changed later)

[subtle tulip]

noiceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[zenith kernel]

Umm. I got a little distracted and made this. Guess which unit this uses in its sprite

Right this will be my work for today. I'll continue working on polnareff and do some other work tomorow

[subtle tulip]

hammerhead like unit?

[zenith kernel]

Not sure at the moment. Guess which unit it uses. Look closely

[subtle tulip]

the triangle ships?

[zenith kernel]

It uses cleroi. I edited the decals, thinned it down and made a front section

[subtle tulip]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok

[zenith kernel]

🙂

[tardy hinge]

the cleroi is at the back section

or near the middle

[zenith kernel]

Indeed. Did I integrate it well?

[tardy hinge]

ye

[low schooner]

Looks good but maybe less light tone on back of unit?

Because it's looks flat

[zenith kernel]

hm. Finished?

[versed magnet]

gug

[zenith kernel]

Holy heck. Name change?

In all seriousness I have done no work today. I was playing minecraft and suffering in school

[subtle tulip]

dangggg

[zenith kernel]

fr

[subtle tulip]

truly

[zenith kernel]

I changed it from cloud to nimbus. Aren't I clever

I didn't like all my accounts having essentially the same display names so now most of my accounts have hun-'insert cloud name' as a display name

[subtle tulip]

o oki

[tame tide]

:O

[zenith kernel]

Working on something non lycor. Can you uess what it is?

[tardy hinge]

neoplasm

looks like a knight helmet ngl

[versed magnet]

neoplasm

[zenith kernel]

OH MY GOD. It looks like the hollow knight I'll give it teeth at some point

[zenith kernel]

So this is gonna be the decal layout and I'll work on it more tommorow

Behind the scenes sketch

I gave it a corny ass name but I'll change the name of the unit when its done

Don't mind my shit handwriting

[subtle tulip]

oki

[zenith kernel]

OH MY GOD, RAILCANNON REFERENCE!

[subtle tulip]

[zenith kernel]

I have not been working on anything I've been playing nothing but Titanfall 2 for 3 days and I'm back in my prime, destroying people and getting 1st or 2nd place. I am now becoming peak.

[zenith kernel]

Not sure if this is related to my mod but uh here. Break the silence

[zenith kernel]

BREAK THE SILENCE!

nice work

[zenith kernel]

God this is so horrid. Guess what I'm doing to it.

[manic tartan]

What do the .5 units do?

[zenith kernel]

Currently. They just exist in my files. The concept for them is they are cheaper than a full upgrade so they would be used in situations with a tighter budget.

[tame tide]

:O

@zenith kernel anything new ?

[zenith kernel]

Not currently. I still need to work on that boat resprite

[tame tide]

:O oke

~~my Nucleoid-9 Still not finish ~~

So far everything works. The only problem is the bridge not having the arrow and the bottom showing up

New release after a month

If anyone knows how to fix the bridge situation it would be much appreciated
