[Humble Master]

So I played some cp+clocktower and here is my review.

Graphics 10/10: Amazing graphics as usual. I especialy love the clock face, spawn rooms and moon.

However there are some small gameplay stuff that needs to be worked out. First of all, the left path is incredibly unbalanced. The combination of medusa heads and though jumps make it a chore to assend not to mention you take some rather substantial damage. Even characters like Rebel and Afro have trouble getting up. Also this is without the BLU team shooting at you. The problem is not so much the damage of the heads as much as their knockback. The knockback can easily stall you mid jump and throw you off platforms. I would recomend reducing or even removing the head knockback.

There are some problems with the gears concerning the fact that Snare can graviy flip up onto the bottom but then can't re-gravity flip once he is on the gears. The BLU portal room is also a little wierd, as thought the wallmask doesn't line up with the background.

Overall for such a bold map you pulled this of very well Rebel. Congrats!

Also found an error

for the record, asked rebel about adding achievements, he said nop, so that's that

[AcidLead]

Thank god.

[ajf]

Thank god.

I coded Adam Jensen's sprint. He moves pretty quick, but it consumes a lot of energy. You can't fire while sprinting, and you can't tap space repeatedly to try to conserve energy that way.

On another note, I had to add an input case for spacebar release. This might come in handy for other classes somewhere down the line.

Just learned that apparently, I'm able to host. I'll probably have an INSmod server up regularly Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 12:25-5:00 PST.
EDIT:
Rebel, if you're still working on this project, I've found a few bugs.

[RebelINS]

Feel free to post any bugs in this thread.

I am still working on this mod. It is on a hiatus right now due to schoolwork, but I find some pockets of time to work on it.

All right sweet.
When playing as Dante, if you charge the Artemis fully, and taunt, you fire a charge shot without depleting your charge.

I also crashed when I was playing as the Illusionist. The error log said something about trying to draw a missing sprite. I'll be sure to copy the text from the error log if I run into the bug again.

[RebelINS]

Haha, me and Vein have actually known about that Dante bug for months and decided to keep it around until at least more people figure it out.

Ah. I found it when I was screwing around today.

I'm going to start hosting this regularly now, probably.

I still think it would be nice if this had achievements *sigh*

Fun fact: Reisen can doublejump to kick and kill other players even during humiliation.

Fun non-fact: Reisen cannot ride a z4 giraffe, no matter how amusing this mental image is.

If rebel said he didn't want them, don't bring it up again.
You look like a self-centered prick who is mad he isn't getting things his way.

Achievements don't add anything to the gameplay.

I would rather add chat before I think about adding achievements. You could argue that achievements add replay value to the game. But it really doesn't. This isn't a single player game with a collectionist mentality. The replay value comes from the variety of classes, different maps, and later on in-game chat so people can talk about cool stuff they did during matches. Multiplayer games should be played on the merit that it is actually fun, instead of trying to add things that you have to grind out.

Keep in mind that this is a one man dev team. I don't have time to spend on coming up with achievement implementation, nor do I want to outsource that job to somebody else.
