Is 1.1 ever coming around?
« on: October 29, 2007, 08:18:13 PM »
Or at least a midway release with improved circuit points?

I'm annoying because I care.

It will. I may release a midway release, I don't see a problem with that, at least for playtesting (I can add you to the playtesting forum when I do that if you like).

I just finished (well more or less) the circuit point improvement. One thing I added is that at upgrade 7 the circuit points now make a circuit line with the mouse cursor. :D

Test of the new Circuit Point at level 7; defeating the Panopticon (with a cache cheat, so it's not actually that easy).

Excellent!

And one minor suggestiong for the next release: It would be really nice to know the width of the attack area around Circuit and Ortho points in addition to the length when placing them.  Some sort of wireframe would be wonderful.

I'm not sure what you mean by width; for the Circuit point there is no width, it's just a line, and if the line intersects any part of an enemy's area they're damaged; for the Ortho point they fire if any part of an enemy intersects a 90 degree line from them.

Ooooh!  I'd been assuming that the game treated the enemies as points and only hurt them when the circuit point intersected with the line.  I've been playing all wrong!

Looking forward to the 1.07 release!

Because I'm so late with this I thought I'd list what remains to be done before v1.1. Some of this may not make sense since it was written for me as a To Do list, but at least it might satisfy curiosity about how it's progressing. Most of these won't take too long to do.

LEVEL EDITOR
- when you retry a custom level the cache reverts to 0 instead of what you started with
- make sure enemies which are not in the demo can't be loaded if it's the demo version
- selecting play custom on title always leads to stage select screen even if you don't select a custom level to play (bug)
- make play custom on ss / play custom on title and stageselect always load a level, even if previously a level was loaded

EXAMPLE SCENARIOS
- finish short Aa Campaign, improve writing, test it all the way through
- finish short 'Point' Campaign, with each Point talking about its nature

POLISH
- in the demo version, before game exit, show a quick screen w/ list of full version features w/ quit & buy options (this seems to work for Aquaria)
- make towers visible briefly when they fire, even when they are far away (additive rather than multiply alphas)

BUGS
- nightmare shields do not deactivate correctly when the nightmare is destroyed

TESTING
- make sure new circuit points aren't too strong or too weak
- test level editor to see if there's any bugs I missed

I finished most of the above; I still have to do path beings, finish the example custom campaigns (one of which may have a new sidestory), and a few other minor things; playtesting for it should begin this week.

Wynand agreed to write the story for a new optional custom campaign (made in the level editor), so the new version of the game may also have some new story (although it probably won't be directly related to the main game's story).

It should soon go into playtesting, as soon as Wynand finishes the story up and I finish the new example levels up. Then a few weeks after that, provided there are no bugs I can't fix, release.

My apologies, I got addicted to the MMORPG Dofus for a week.  ;D

I've gotten tired of it now, so it's back to working on ID.
