Better gg2 graphics ready to go whenever

I sometimes get less FPS on GG2 than TF2.

That's because we're still using Game Maker 8. Studio actually compiles games now, as opposed to encrypting all the source files and packaging them with a GM runtime. The only things that would be lost if we made the leap would be some menu functionality and the plugin system entirely.

That's not entirely relevant here, though. I'm gonna let it be the OP's call whether he wants this discussion to stop or not.

i hate to break this to you buddy, but hes under no obligation to prioritize based on what you all are saying.

I never implied that he is, I merely criticised him for not doing so.

Some update.

Might I perhaps suggest a swipe interface as opposed to an omnipresent Menu button? Like, swipe the top or side of the screen to pull it down. You could additionally use such a thing for things like a disguise menu and building options.

[Gintas]

How would you display it for player to make it clear then? And there isn't really stuff to hide, it's all needed to see in real-time(except menu)

[Saniblues]

Here gimme a sec

I mean, what you could do is a quick and easy "tutorial" upon joining a server for the first time, just to signify the fact that if you swipe to the right to pull up an options menu, and swipe to the left for your weapon menu (disguise kit, build menu, etc).

You don't need to make them sit through an entire tutorial since most of that junk is really basic,

Just a quick and nasty tutorial that shows a small phone and swiping. I could make a gif representing what I'm talking about later.

[Gintas]

I get your idea. But there isn't really anything to hide. Arrows, joystick, jump - always needed. Health/ammo/secondary bar - also. Build/destroy sentry, cloak, disguise - same... UI will probably get a lot messier with swiping integrated.
Where do you think "capturing" indicator should be put? Not sure if I really want to put another UI element on screen.

also, check this cool icon

Was that a Rick wig for the Medic?

New icon looks cool.

As a game designer I'm very interested in how the gameplay is going to feel on the small screen. I noticed the characters take up more of the screen than they do in Gang Garrison, so you have a bit less range of vision (except perhaps when scoped as Long Gun Guy), but obviously not to the point that it would ruin the game. I imagine the characters won't move as fast as a result, but I'm sure the game will still be tactically interesting because, you know, TF2 mechanics. Have you discovered anything interesting that you might want to do that's different from other TF2 clones?

I also have a legitimate question about Spy: If choosing Sneakman's disguise is an unlock-able item, will it be balanced compared to the random-disguise kit? It would be neat if there were perks for going with random disguises. The only issue I can think of there is that some players will simply keep re-rolling the random disguise until they get one they want...

[Gintas]

Yep, there will be some things, that will be quite different from TF2 or GG2.

DID I JUST HEAR SOMEONE SAY BOTS?!

Please, have my babies, then please document their AIs in great detail!

I would like to see this in the android's store, seems to be cool and well done, I like the colours but one thing grinds my gears and it's that how will the medic heal if he can only use the needle gun then it will lose it's only good ability the healing, also I didn't saw a sentry in the vid. Maybe you did explain it earlier for someone else, I couldn't read the whole topic, sorry if I'm like the 6th person who asked these questions. But maybe even the answer is that it is notdone yet right?

Edit:will we see more maps in the beta cause I'm really intrested. As I mentioned before the art of the game is great and dayum those colours.
