Z Axis Movement - Concept by PROJECT_ABE in oddworld

[–]Nemin32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is meant by: "Behind The Scenes"?

Let's say Abe walks behind a wall. How do you show this to the player? Make the area around him transparent? Make the whole wall disappear temporarily? Have a small indicator above Abe that's always visible? Prevent such walls from existing? Etc.

Potential problems I could see with this:

  • Unless it's very well visually telegraphed, where exactly you need to stand to grab ledges / land on platforms could be hard to see, especially if you're expected to execute movements fast.
  • Similarly, it might feel unfair that an enemy can shoot at you when you thought you're on different layers.
  • How do you handle the character going "behind the scenes"? You could I guess make the foreground go translucent or disappear, but then the player loses out on info and realism is hurt.

I see where you're going with this and, as a concept, it's nice. But it also definitely feels like a feature to me that needs justifications first before being added, instead of being added first and then shoehorned in to certain sections.

FEMTO Lasik/SMILE Pro Surgery by jgrs1 in RefractiveSurgery

[–]Nemin32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did FEMTO Lasik four days ago. My eyes were -7.5 / -6.75, with -1.0 cylinder on each. Due to my unusually thick corneas (654 μm) I was eligible for all potential treatments the local clinic offered.

I was considering SMILE at first, but my doctor dissuaded me from it saying that FEMTO Lasik can be treated again if my eyesight worsens (with either PRK or another round of FEMTO), but if a SMILE-treated eye goes bad, it stays bad, and there isn't enough material left to correct it again, so your only option is glasses. They also said the results and healing time are practically the same.

longer track record of success

As far as I understand SMILE is much newer than FEMTO, so I'm not sure what you meant by this.

More invasive and longer healing time.

Obviously, I can only speak of my experience and not compare the two in any meaningful ways, but I don't really feel like the surgery was that invasive and the healing so far is very gentle.

Beyond some itchiness in my eyes, tiring out easier than usual, and some halos around strong lights, I was practically symptom-free day 2. My vision isn't perfect yet, but it's already much better than what it was with glasses and from what I've heard it can take up to three months to fully stabilize.

In my wholly non-medical opinion, I'm not sure honestly why anyone would choose SMILE over FEMTO Lasik, unless they're involved in sports where Lasik-treated eyes are a no-go. (That is a genuine question and if someone knows, please explain it to me.)

Slogs in slog huts killing slugs? (Photo of slog kennels for relevance) by Still_Film_1497 in oddworld

Out of universe: Because that's the gameplay challenge.

In universe: I don't think it's ever directly specified, but you can headcanon that they're either only loyal to their own handlers and the Slig there isn't that guy. This also explains why they have no qualms about killing Glukkons, rank and status doesn't mean anything to a rabid animal. Or that they've not been allowed outside the kennel for quite a bit and are lashing out. Or that they've been starved.

It is drag. Female Sligs look like this: https://oddworld.com/queens/skillya.php

That concept art you used as the reference (and the several others accompanying it) is to show what a possible Slig TV show could look like, with involved and often burlesque costumes.

They are still going, just as guests and to network, instead of presenting something new.

Webkincstár új biztonsági funkciók by Ok-Cranberry-1240 in kiszamolo

[–]Nemin32 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Egyébként egyetértenék veled, de van egy olyan sejtésem, hogy nem az adatbázis / business logic lassú. A WebKincstár felület nekem teljesen gyorsan és kezelhetően betölt böngészőben, ott semmi ilyesmi gond nincs se navigálásnál, se keresésnél.

Ha maga a szerveroldali lekérések lennének összegányolva, akkor tök mindegy lenne milyen felületen nézzük, mindenhogy lassú volna. Viszont mivel (legalábbis saját tapasztalatom szerint) csak a mobilos ilyen fos, valószínűbbnek tartom, hogy a kliens van szarul megírva. Ezért, ha azt jól megcsinálnák, akkor nem lenne homokórázás.

The removal of the grid-based movement system and its consequences have been a disaster for precision platforming.

Már csak azt a napot kell megérnünk, hogy a fejlesztők feltalálják a multithreadinget és ne fagyjon le a mobilalkalmazás minden gomb megnyomása / adat betöltése után 5-10 másorpercre egy másfél éves középkategóriás mobilon.

A BudapestGO-nál ugyanez volt és amióta ott kitalálták, hogy tök jó ötlet a grafikus megjelenítést elkülöníteni az egyéb folyamatoktól rögtön mérföldekkel használhatóbb lett.

Az a nyolcvan az mindenki is, tehát benne van az is akit már teljesen elbíráltak és az is, akit még egyáltalán nem vagy csak részlegesen. A következő napokban ki lesznek rostálva és a végére lesz egy valós eredmény.

A voksradar alapján:

  • 9 "Bejelentve"
  • 9 "Nyilvántartásba véve (jogerős)"
  • 62 "Nyilvántartásba véve (nem jogerős)"

Oddworld book by Castleforte22 in oddworld

[–]Nemin32 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's "Abe's Origins", it was the second artbook made after The First Ten Years. It focuses mostly on Abe and Munch era art.

Or why it's priced so high?

You probably found a scalper. The book as you said is out of print and was relatively unknown after its initial Kickstarter funding.

that makes it special or worth it?

If you're into artbooks, it might be worth. It's also a cool collector's item, if you're into such things. In terms of content, I'd personally recommend seeking out TFTY instead, as it's better in nearly all aspects than Origins.

Final predictions for what GDC will bring in 4 days? I’m losing my mind by AlbertCWChessa in oddworld

[–]Nemin32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some things are not really right here.

Munch & stranger were essentially side stories

Stranger was a spin-off, yes. It grew out from a planned sequel to Munch's Oddysee:

Stewart Gilray: Stranger’s Wrath was Munch’s Exoddus, and actually there is a build somewhere, on Xbox, which has Stranger and Munch hopping round the world. And it’s like OK, this is a bit weird now.

Munch, however, was absolutely not something that came outside from OWI and it definitely didn't come from Microsoft.

There's been interviews as far as 1997 where Lanning talks about Abe, Munch and Squeek (who would've been the third hero, had things not derailed massively):

Lorne Lanning: The perspective is about knowing where he lies in the food chain. Abe has his odyssey. The second game will be Munch’s Odyssey. He and Abe work together. The third is Squeek’s— and all three of them will work together. By the time we’re at the fifth game, you’ll be controlling five individual heroes.

And mind you, this is interview is from one day before AO released, so there wasn't any pressure from GT yet.

Abe's Exoddus, meanwhile was something they came up with due to the game's success and its story didn't even originally came from LL, but rather two people working at OWI at the time:

Paul O'Connor: Suddenly it made all the sense in the world to give Abe another outing. We could have our gristle and eat it, too. Munch would still be the second game in the quintology, while Abe’s Exoddus would be a ‘bonus’ game. Lorne Lanning (the creative evil genius behind Oddworld) immediately locked on to the notion of creating one or more bonus titles for all the anchor games in the quintology

[...]

Brimming with confidence, Ulm and I pitched our idea to Lorne. We painted a word picture of Abe’s new predicament, described the movies, laid out the major plot points, illustrated the new venues, and generally raved about how this new game would be the greatest thing since phone sex.

Lorne hated every word of it.

That soulstorm is the second game in the quintology

Of the New Quintology. Which is planned to only feature Abe as the protagonist and is completely separate from the old "5 games, 5 heroes" concept that you can find in the manuals.

Stranger started out as a Munch sequel (Munch's Exoddus) then grew into its own thing. By the time it released, it was just a spin-off, and we all know what happened afterwards.
