TERIDAX941 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Maybe a more primitive version of this can be used as a Vortixx ability or something?If you have specific gameplay mechanics in mind, I'd be glad to hear them. Otherwise I have enough to do with re-balancing other powers, really, I'm sorry.Would other shields have an attack as well? Maybe something like a shove like in skyrim, or just blocking?The shields with abilities would likely have their ups and downs. For example, the Rhotuka shield would likely be one of the shields that are heavy enough to make you a bit sluggish in using it. Tahu's spinning blade shield may have a slight projectile and/or contact damage feature, but although it would be quick to use it would also require a very brief spin-up time before it reaches full efficiency (and would maybe just have 75% damage resistance before it does, compared to normal shields and their 100%).Maybe you could add a skrall shield that if enemies get close, takes damage when "blocking"? Or did you state that you're not planning on adding Glatorian elements?He has said that he won't include anything from the Glatorian line. Though it still would be cool... Well that's a pity... there is so much potential... maybe someone else will take up that role once everything is set up. One can only hope. lol Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you state that you're not planning on adding Glatorian elements?I wish to keep the game in the Matoran Universe. I have already used a sprite of Gresh' blade as the "Poison Sword", though, and Strakk's Ice Axe is also present. I'm not entirely opposed to including Bara Magna items, you just won't see Glatorian combatants and such. I already have enough to do with the MU species, and I honestly just like them more. This game is a years-old idea as well, and despite receiving lots of changes it still sticks to the initial concept of a MU-based war. It might be somewhat simple for katuko to copy/paste the entire game and turn it into a Bara Manga version Highly unlikely, and I don't think you can actually copy/paste an entire game like that. I'm not sure, as I haven't used GM in a long time. Also, quote pyramid.I could probably re-use a lot of the coding for other things, but by the time I'm done with this game I will be ready like you don't believe to do something else than rehashing the same game. Please, everyone: Remove posts you are not directly quoting from your quote chain, or cut them down in size. It's annoying to see the same posts repeated over and over, especially big quotes that start taking up half a page just by themselves. EDIT: Another new sprite. Some of the Toa Metru weapons I have available in the Rayg kit don't look so good, so I'll be redoing them. Here is my version of Nokama's Hydro Blades.

Arzaki Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Does a weapon sprite have to be flat? Can it have multiple layers?

Some Random Phrase Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I downloaded this, but for some reason the screen stayed black once it loaded. The fullscreen hotkey works, as does the screenshot, but the screen is black. Screenshots show properly though. This looks like a really great game and I'm looking forward to playing it.

Katuko Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I downloaded this, but for some reason the screen stayed black once it loaded.Sounds like a graphics card issue. What system are you running, and do you have any special setup such as dual GPUs etc? @Flamewing: Feel free to make separate frames for whatever effects you think your weapon could use. The Ice Axe, for example, has the ice coating as a separate image that is laid over the main weapon sprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzaki Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have added a little twirl of fire to the sword that spirals around the blade. Here is the original and here is the fiery one.

Makuta Luroka Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have added a little twirl of fire to the sword that spirals around the blade.

Hexann Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So, many new sprites! I guess I lost the sprite, of course that's irrelevant considering how easy it was to sprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katuko Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I agree with Makuta Luroka: the flames might need to be a bit brighter, probably just by upping the opacity/alpha of the fire to max. Interesting take to make it burn in a spiral; if you made about three frames total for that spiral moving up or down the blade that would be nice. I imagine a spiral-shaped flame could be recolored and resized to match other blades and elements as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katuko Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 So, Silence, guys. Silence is the most boring Rahkshi power ever. Why I even put it on the list is beyond me. Sure, being able to absorb sound as a Toa of Sonics, using Silence as your mask power, or as one of at least 40 other powers would make it a nice extra tool to have, but as a primary power? There is little use in Silence in a game like this without other stealth abilities such as being a Toa of Sonics with a Huna. As a Rahkshi power, it is being removed, simply for being both boring and kinda useless. But don't worry, I have been testing an alternate Rahkshi power that looks to be a lot more fun. Here's a screenshot from a test file of mine. In other news, I have been testing out shader settings again. Color blending will be nice and simple, it seems, though certain colors might look slightly different from before due to a few changes in how colors are applied. The results will be overall better, though, and will open up for more color options - such as being able to have two-colored weapons and masks. I don't remember if I've posted it before, but here is another thing I've tested: Actually programming the new engine is not happening at the moment due to my studies taking up a lot of time, but the small test runs I do here and there look promising as far as sprites and minor mechanics go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexann Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 @Katuko: No, I don't believe you've exhibited those sprites prior to now. This is great! Perhaps the third time you've inspired me to try out GameMake Studio. Karz, I guess I should try to work with it. I've been studying Python as of lately, but I think I can manage to make this one of my secondary studies. As always Katuko, keep up the good work.

It's kinda cool. by the way, have you ever considered making shoulder armor a separate item from chest armor?Yes, though I have worried about how armor types - like Kanohi - may fail to be "readable" if they come in all kinds of shapes with no connection to stats. Still, I believe there won't be all that many armor types anyways, so it's probably still an option. Edited May 2, 2014 by Katuko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
