BigJKO Posted April 11, 2015 This'll obviously be a game for babies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadpan Posted April 11, 2015 If you removed the Nick Breckon aspect, this could make for an interesting "goofy physics" game in which you pile babies on top of each other. Actually why has nobody taken Ep. 93: Babywall the Horse Armor yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coods Posted April 16, 2015 progress update: After getting some school stuff squared away, I started working on the game again. Before the next weekend ends I'm planning to finish the ship moving mechanic, as well as create an AI system for the enemies that breckon fights. After that, all this other stuff needs to get done in no particular order: -parallax space background -ruination bar -ftl popups -intro/audio -win condition -balancing -nicer camera handling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fhnuzoag Posted April 16, 2015 It would be fun if you gave the AI 'real lives' that the player has to exploit to win, in true Neptune's Pride style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coods Posted April 16, 2015 What I'm planning to do is generally that idea. Basically the game will just be Neptune's Pride but with your real life as a resource; every move you make within the game will decay your life bar and put you closer to being a baby. You'll have certain tactical advantages to interfere with your opponents ability to play the game. Likewise, you'll be presented "random encounter"-like popups that force you to either sit out or lose some life points. example text, based on a real thumbs conversation: A fellow employee at Bethesda looks over your shoulder and sees you playing. "Are you actually going to do any work? You're just playing a space game!" [ ] do work (skip x amount of game time) [ ] ignore (gain 200 ruination) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coods Posted April 16, 2015 While working out the AI today I got bored and wrote a script for some scrolling background elements with my shitty placeholder art Someone please draw some space backgrounds for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
