Game Dev - What Monster Is Hottest To Fight?
7 years ago
No update on the Krystal game. Not been working on it.
I've been stuck in one of those rutts where it seems like I'm waiting for things to happen. It's hard to describe if you've had it yourself. Like there's no point starting work on a thing because I have dinner in the oven that will be ready in 15 minutes, and after dinner need to take the dog for a walk, when I get back I need the toilet but someone is in the shower, and before you know it most of the day has gone and I'm to tired or not in the mood to do anything.
Anyway. While the time has been wasted, I don't think it was a complete loss. I've been doing some thinking about the Leanna game. More specifically, how will I make levels for it. This is something that applies to all my non-2D projects. The current profesional standard is apparently making the levels in a 3D modelling program and export them. That doesn't sound at all effecient or reasonable to me. But then what do I know.
I thought of what I know, the old Half-Life BSP system. That would require making my own tools, or finding a way to import from existing tools. Neither is a great option, but if I did make my own tools, I would theoretically be able to use them for various projects.
The other is a simple, almost wolfenstein esc grid system. This would have a bunch of limitations. But might be enough to get the job done.
Finally, there's the built in tile system. Here, you drag and drop 3D models onto a 3D grid. The downside here is that I'd have to be careful how I design my tiles, but should be enough to for the Leanna game if I design the tiles right.
On the subject of the Leanna game, I want to ask what are the sexiest monsters to fight? That sounds like a weird question, and it is. But here's my thought process. Tentacle monsters are obviously allow for sexy fun times, but don't make for interesting fights because, well, it's a mass of tentacles. Zombies, giant spiders, aliens, and other monsters are fun to fight but tend to be horrible, leave a lot of nasty gore everywhere, and are generally bonercide.
So far, the only idea I've come up with 2 ideas. Slimes, be they goo girls or something like out of Slime Rancher or Dragon Quest. And Plant creatures, as vegatable matter and fruit juice isn't offencive as far as "gore" goes, and they can have tentacles while being attached to something shootable. Boo esc ghosts might be possible as well, but I don't know. Maybe there's something obvious I'm missing.
