[GAME] Ninslash - v0.5.0 (Page 8 of 13)

Making good touchscreen controks for ninja rope is proven to be impossible.

It works, until you need to run, jump and shoot at the same time with launching the hook.
That's 4 separate screen controls, which logically require 4 fingers.

Jetpack on the other hand can be combined with jump button, and you don't need precise control for it, because it only has one direction to activate.

The box mode is fun.
Now I want to make Mortars gamemode, I'm not sure if it's possible with only tweaking the grenade launcher.

Mortars is a LieroX game mode, with one-hit-kill slow-moving weapon, which you can shoot in a valley of 5 rounds, because of the game engine weapon switching 'feature'. Then you run away to reload, which happens automatically, but takes time.

This game mode was ofren derided by LieroX 'pro' community as noobish and lacking finesse of 'classic' mode, where you have 5 different weapons instead of 5 Mortars, and need to select the best weapon for each moment of the game.

But it was fun while it lasted.

https://youtu.be/Q2ZAN9EGpCc  - 'pro' Mortars match, which is mostly spamming the shots across the map, trying to guess the opponent position using that tiny minimap in the corner, and of course whining in the chat.

For me, the problem is not the violence, but that the game is not readable because of an overflow of explosions and blood.

Don't know the order of things but could you put the blood behind all the players? maybe this way you can still see the players and it will be less distracting.

Have you tried disabling the blood?

I'm planning to add even more guts & spray.

edit. It's not the same without:

There's one more weapon slot and I've been planning a wave gun (♪♫♪♫). After that I'll need to change the old weapons to more interesting ones.

I'll add new item system, which might include remotely detonated stuff, new traps etc.

No I like the blood I was just suggesting that you move it to a different layer to perhapse make the game a bit more play able. I don't know if it would look good or make it more play able but for those who say its hard to see and like the blood it might be a considreation for you.

Does this mean we are getting a base cannon?

If you want to play maps from teeworlds, you should change entities (weapons & pickups) and change the map name to e.g. tw_ctf1.map

For some, yes. I haven't actually done any of the graphics, they're mostly public domain graphics and paid assets (e.g effects & tiles), slightly modified in many cases.

Development update

I've been working with alien invasion mode. It's co-op mode (1-4 players) where you have to reach the door. It opens when you've killed all the enemies in the map, or when you hit the switch (if there's one in map). Currently there's 16 first maps, couple of different enemies and lots of action. It still requires polishing and testing before first release, but we'll get there.

I'd gladly accept help with alien skins once again. Alien eyes, "hats" / whatever they could put on head...

Happy days!

Thanks android! Looks really good, but I'll have to try them in-game and see how it fits.
