Announcements / Re: Jupiter Hell Teaser Trailer, coming to Kickstarter November 15th!
« on: November 15, 2016, 10:46 »
Well, at least one comment was useful. 13 minutes to go. Holding my breath...
...backed and shared with a personal message to a selected ones.
I believe, there should be a big green Kickstarter link on the frontpage.

I totally love the game already and trust your experience!
I totally will back and share the news.
Bad thing is that I don't like some things about the video.
Maybe I'm just annoying. Especially, 6 hours before launch.
But, having participated a little in launching Kickstarter campaigns, I would say...
* For a good Kickstarter, video indeed is the most important thing.
* First 6 seconds spent for just the logo? Seriously? There must be an attention grabber in the first! You're losing an too big percent of the audience here.
* The same - about the name at 0:13-0:19. Leave it to the very end.
* It looks like "permadeath" is the only good thing to say about the game. Really? If it's anywhere near DoomRL or AliensRL, there are so many more things to say. Spam with usual "321 uniques, 9.5 classes, 987 character development paths, rich story (whether it's there or not)", show more combat, show inventory screens, show BOSSES.
* Really, show some action in the first 7 seconds. Maybe just a hint, half a second, but clearly visible.
* Really, show a boss. Big is impressive. Maybe even from DoomRL, I know.
* The 3 earlier posters are awesome. Hope they will appear in the campaign.
* I'l try to back in the first hour, but... er... 1:00 AM? No promises.
Sorry for the late comment.

Requests For Features / Re: Levers ideas
« on: October 02, 2015, 02:03 »
The "shoot-at" lever has to be triggered by player actions (moving between a lever and a monster), so it's a very rare case - way more rare than being spawned near a 2-3 napalm barrels and an Imp. If the game limits trigger to direct hit only, it will become even more monster-safe, while retaining the random element.
The "walk-in" lever can only be triggered by monster if you kick it in with a shotgun, or an explosion, so it's a very rare case too, plus a great opportunity for a skilled player.
I generally like the idea. The lever could become a "wall with a lever", which is more Doom-like.
I also like the "appearing modpack" idea - I'd play even if this stays statistically bad for me.
Hahaha, a mod idea: a lever that makes a slot machine: generates 3 random monsters in a row, or a square of 3x3 monsters. Get 3 Imps in a row, and you get a Plasma Rifle. Get 3 Arch-Viles in a row, and win a Firestorm Pack. Get 3 Nightmare Arachnos, and win a Nano Pack or a GCB. After you kill them, of course.

I was thinking once about a "Soko-Doom" mod. Start with actual Soko-Ban, then find a gun on L10.
Then throw an Imp into the mix.
Add Int2 to be able to play Pacifist Puzzler style.
Make some walls (in)destructable and such.
Find a Acid-proof boots and pour some acid.
Include life counter into the puzzles.
Add Lava boots and Fireproof boots. Mix lava and acid at your taste.
Add a Red Armor and make pushing a napalm barrel into a lava part of a solution.
Wow, that's some ideas...

It was worth killing everything including 4 arachnotrons on AoHu, just to forget that I swapped Acid-proof boots for Tactical boots.
In my defense I can say that I was distracted by the strongest opponent, my 4-year old daughter.
Not a very remarkable AoHu run otherwise.
I was happily carrying a gift of a Fireproof Red armor and two Enviro-suits for Cybie... an d'oh.
And only now I thought that with Dodgemaster I wouldn't need these. Well, anyway.

Like in that joke, "Did you actually try it?".
Building a Vampyre for AoMs is cheating. Well, if you can't win fairly, just win.
Duelist armor [OAP] was insanely good, I didn't even wear Angelic Armor.
Limbo was the only hard piece, I only had 2% health at some point, and an Arch-Vile with Mancubi in front of me, at eastern edge. Luckily, I managed to phase to the center, then to lure and cornershoot the Vile and three Mancubi to "wounded", to jump on them and to EAT THEM. 34% was way better.
Nuked

As for me, the tactic for Court is to cornershoot Barons on the right side while saving the berserk packs (watch for them to shoot inside, the zerk packs will be destroyed), then get as much zerk as you have from Chainsaw and backs and tank on the Arena Master. You can giftdrop in the doorways to get rid of the corpses and to push Barons back into lava.
