In Response To: 29-38 (goran)

: Forever my greatest and only love
: -make the 1x recharger 2x, and place a 1x recharger somewhere else on the
: level.
Good idea.
: Land in the sky
: I get these levels now, find the well, and jump into it.
These levels are actually foreshadowing the last iteration of them, in which you will have to climb UP the mountain instead. (This place is, if you haven't guessed already by the titles, "the hollow world, the land in the sky, all of it floating in the void" which Hathor spoke of in Chapter 3, "She Is The Dark One"). But climbing up is a good deal harder than climbing down, which is why I made the player start out progressively higher and higher up the mountain and climb down instead, in these earlier iterations. But now it seems almost too easy, and kind of pointless. Have you any suggestions for some moderation between these two extremes?
Also, I think I will make the terminal room look a little better... more than just a floor and ceiling in space. And a related question there: is it clear that the glow in the distance is the not-so-distant galaxy, seen edge-on? Or does it just look like some random glow?
: pfhor for lamm
: The first area slow down my computer. When I look around I cannot find the
: designs to justify the slowdown. They dont look complex nor beautiful,
: rather more squarish and dull. Is a poor polygon construction behind this
: slowdown, can it be fixed?
It doesn't look like there's any reason there should be a slowdown. Everything is well within Forge's limits.
Speaking of slowdown, what kind of speed do you get on the dream levels (To Sleep, Hollow World, Land In The Sky, etc)?
: The incredible hulk
: polygon 587: Patternbuffer not working
: polygon 148,265: Lighting is wrong
Both fixed.
: Why is the weapon location out in the open mountains? Has it beeen teleported
: there?
Not sure, that's just where Andreas put it. Any suggestions for a better place? Maybe more towards the end...
: A note about the weapon: Sometimes the projectile gets stuck against drinniol
: and juggernauts. It goes bam bam bam bam bam bam bam, repeat repeat. Until
: it finally disappear.
Yeah, I've seen that happen a couple times. It seems to have something to do with it being Persistent and Virulient, which it needs to be to be as effective as it is, but I'm not sure what makes it do that, or how to stop it. Anybody else know?
: Babylon VII
: polygon 253: I GOT STUCK HERE. It's also textured wrong.
Fixed.
: At polygon 433: There's a huge gang of fattos here just standing around. They
: seem to be sleepin. Some of them start moving again when I kill some of
: them. Could it be the alien limit?
: A note about the fattos (drinniol): In the original marathon these creatures
: attacks as soon as you get within their reach, this is not true in eternal
: on kindergarden. You'll have to wait 2-3 seconds before they bash you. It
: renders them as a very clumpsy alien. I mean, the only chance they would
: ever hit me, is if I walk to them, stand close to them and go lallalala
: for 3 seconds.
: I think the pfhor troopers are with me on this one. :P
Yeah, I've been thinking that something was off about the Hulks, but I wasn't quite sure what it was. I'll see about making them attack faster. Thanks.
: bug eyed in space
: Killing everything has turned out to be a rare mission in marathon scenarios.
: So rare I did truly enjoy this level. It works good. The only thing is
: that the start looks rather simplistic and dull in the start (the hangars)
: compared to the rest of the level.
I'm really glad you like this one. This and it's mate (which you will meet soon) are the two maps I worried were weakest in this chapter. I'm going to be going and retooling the monster placement in the hangars soon, so hopefully that will make it a bit more interesting.
: Run coward
: This is a different level, and it's quite easy when you know where everything
: is. Until you know, you'll die a lot =)
: The only thing I can bring up to improvw the level is to chaneg all
: reachargers to 3x. 1x shields are a total waste of time.
Good idea.
: The Ensurance Trap
: New alien on this one. Looks like a shadow. It seems to be fairly dangerous
: and difficult to kill (is it invincible?).
Not invincible, but it's only damaged by fusion (which includes the Jjaro weapons), and it has a radius of 1, so it's very hard to actually hit it. Weren't these on the previous failure dream too, though?
: At the end, stop these shadows from entering the last room. I did not have
: time to read the last terminal. One of these shadow creatues followed me
: and since I couldn't kill it, I speed read the terminal.
Done.
: extra comments: all levels have been solid in chapter 4 sofar. It's on par
: with chapter 1.
That's very good to hear. I was pretty worried about this chapter. It makes me happy to know you like it.
