[Discussion] Slopes - YemDX and Landil thread (Page 2 of 2)

I'm interested by your terms, because these aren't the terms I had laid out for you. However, I will bite. Seeing as how your opinion seems to be "if you can't come up with anything better, you shouldn't complain! why don't YOU come up with something better?!" like some sort of 3rd grader, I've come up with suggestions that fit the want of a third-grader and also meet your criteria.

Also, people who play plenty of video games and are good at games can determine how something will play even without seeing video. I've also played Teeworlds for around 5 years almost daily. I can easily tell what something will feel like. Now, on to what you requested. However, I can't fulfill the request of keeping people to vanilla gametypes, as anything that can be used in vanilla, can be used in mods.

1. Bouncy pads.
Like tiles that you bounce off of. Very self-explanatory. Meets all of the requirements pretty obviously. Unique, gameplay enhancing (allows for super sick bouncy house 1v1s), could allow for awesome maneuvering and tricks, and of course is very cute. Everyone can have fun with bouncy pads too. They don't require any skill at all to use, however, to utilize to their full potential, there's plenty of skill!

2. Hook bouncy pads
These are similar to regular bouncy pads, except they bounce your hook like a mirror would a laser. Would make for some VERY interesting maps. Fast paced as well, given how fast the hook moves. Would be similar to laser wallshots. They would enhance gameplay pretty obviously by allowing for neat tricks and working like unhookables, but much more funnier. Can allow for sick map designs. Will provide pics if requested.

3. Anti-gravity sections / tiles
Tiles that change the gravity to where the ceiling is the ground and vice versa. It's pretty cute, to me, seeing Tees fly around. Add both fun for everyone and would take some extra skill to maneuver through. Combining regular gravity + anti-gravity could make for very fun gameplay for all skill levels and allow for awesome protricks.

Please note that just because these fit the criteria and I've said them does not mean that I would want them in the game. Was just giving examples that fit your criteria. These are all much more interesting and funny than, say, slopes.

:rolling eyes:
If I cannot come up with anything better? L O L. I mean I am experimenting and testing, but you are declining the outcome before you have played it. Just because you dislike the concept. That's narrow minded and not at all adult behaviour.

I highly doubt this, but we will use these magical powers.

that's a very old suggestion. severeal graphic concepts are already done, but it lacks a coder who likes to spend lots of time to make this feel teeish. We have the ddrace-accelerators, but noone uses them for vanilla games. If I criticize it in the way you do, I'd have to say: I know this sucks, because I know how this will feel like and we've even seen the ddrace concept which shows us that it is total bullshit.
But instead I say, let's find a coder who codes a concept which easily allows to tune the parameters to make it feel teeish.

This is not easy at all, it's just hard to master It makes movement more complex and you need time to find out good spots to shoot and hook at. Which are the benefits for standard non-high-lvl players?

I've already thinking about an anti-gravity suit power-up which reverses the gravity. It's pretty much the same. We should give it a try. That's the work of a coder, too. So let's find one and test it.

About that little discussion at the start of the topic, I think it's really obvious that if you stand still on a slope and jump, you jump straight up | and if you are moving you jump in the way you are moving /. Otherwise I can't imagine somebody getting up a big slope without it all looking awkward and faily.

Yes I agree, because when you jump like this / when you're standing still, means you can't even get streight up normally without moving to the left again to go streight up.
Im terribly sorry for my english, but I just think that jumping like / is realy not a good idea.

Really nice idea, I know there was no possibility to try it out recently but what about now? Are there sources we can get and compile? Or maybe a test server running? That would be cool to make an opinion and give some feedback.
Thanks.
