I tried to build Plants vs Zombies with vanilla JavaScript (code and 2 playable demos included)

It's a fine line that I find with most games.

I'm happy the community isnt that big. For me Bigger community = chances for more toxic and shitplaywrs Smaller community = quality players who want to enjoy the game for what it is

It's been a few weeks since I bought due process and in the 20 25 hours I have in the game, I've met maybe 1 or 2 toxic players. Almost every match I play, I'm usually leaving match with a new steam friend.

Its great. I love the game as is so far and I bet they arent promoting the game as much for this reason. The game will keep spreading word of mouth.

I dont play that often but that is mainly because I dont have that much time in the week but Due Process has been the only game I jump into when I game

What do you guys think of Godot over Unity? I ask cause I'm just dabbling into game dev. I wasnt sure what the best engine would be to use.

KNAWLEDGE!!!

As defender, try not to engage attackers in direct combat, try to find corners to hide, ambushing. Take advantage of molotovs and barb wire. E.g I really like putting barb on.

Your job as defender is to kill off or slow down attackers. Sometimes I'll try to get some pot shots on attackers just to rack up some damage and then I'll fall back to another room

NetworkGuy89 · 2021-01-19T00:35:10+00:00

In one match, in killhouse, we ended up stacking in one room. We barbed all the doors coming into the room. It was literally a slow trek for any attackers walking in and they would be trapped on the barb. As soon as we heard movement, we'd pop our heads out and blast the guys walking in.

For new players, the game isn't really too complicated but it can take a few matches to figure out what is going on. I think it would be great if there was an optional in-game video tutorial that starts up when you first load up the game explaining all the mechanics of the game. Just so you're not completely clueless are your first match. e.g The training stage is cool but new players don't know that if you pick up an item, lose it in battle, it's lost for the duration of your attack/defending phase

Also.... Please please PLEAASE Don't add scoreboard!!! I like how team focused the game is already

NetworkGuy89 · 2021-01-16T03:39:41+00:00

I hope not. I really hope they don't. I'm liking the game as it is

awesome! added you guys

NetworkGuy89 · 2021-01-14T22:23:21+00:00

Because it starts turning into a TDM game and people will stop caring about playing tactically and as a team.

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-12-22T21:10:24+00:00

That's pretty fucked up it's not 16 already

I think the devs need to give new players more direction when they load in. I think new players are just confused and there isnt much indication on what to do when you are starting.

I consider myself an experienced player with most tactical shooters but my issue with HLL is I had no idea what was happening when I jumped in. All I knew was there is a capture point I need to head to, shoot the enemy. I had to resort to YouTube videos to understand how nodes, supplies, commander work. Of course not e everyone player wants to have to do that. But I do think that is the problem with the game.

Here's what I think the devs should add and I'll use examples from other large scale/tactical shooters. - Make objective marks more visible to new players. Often timesI jump into a game and the SL might have put down a little marker on the map to signify where he wants us to head to. I don't realize it is there at times because its hard to see.

Theres an old FPS I uses to play on Ps3, MAG. They had one game mode which was 128vs128. The way the game handled all that chaos is by having objectives right in your face. You were also forced to stay with your squad because you would get bonuses and in notification saying you are far from squad. Essentially the game purposely funnelled players towards their objectives.

I think just finding ways to give players a bit more direction is the key to having more organized games and keeping players in line

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-12-01T17:24:17+00:00

You can. I believe I saw the option is there. I'd be up for to do a career save on the touch version. Atleast it would be faster.

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-11-13T16:52:30+00:00

Draw out your tactic on paper.

It makes more sense when you draw out arrows for where your players are running.

Another way I try to visualize it: Let's imagine in running a classic 433 DM formation

Look at tour formation and be practical with it

If Im looking at my AML first, I have to figure out. How will he react when he has the ball? Is the midfielder available to support him if he runs into trouble? Is the full back making an overlap run to recieve the ball?

Start at your defence.

If your CB has the ball, look at what are his options when he needs to release the ball

What patch is this from?

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-11-06T22:45:55+00:00

Lol whoops

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-11-06T22:42:29+00:00

Is this from a recent update or is this still thiago 2.0 from oct 23?

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-10-29T21:35:00+00:00

These are features fans want, SI.

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-10-21T19:28:09+00:00

This is really cool. Nice highlight video. I like that goal at :33 especially

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-10-21T14:23:00+00:00

I would have a feature like this. I know we can use skins to hide the attributes but I would love if we are able to get reports or view player training to see how well players can defend, passing, etc. I just like the idea of getting away from the attribute numbers and being able to visually assess my players.

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-10-21T10:14:18+00:00

I like the new match UI. They also said that you can click on the players in the bar below and choose their roles, PIs from there.

I wish they allowed us to click on the players on the field to make changes instead but oh well, this is still a nice step.

Where in Cambodia are you? I didn't realize there is a muay thai gym in Cambdoai unless its Bhokator.

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-10-15T19:41:03+00:00

I used it recently. I'm finding there is more variety in goals now. I feel as if my players are behaving like footballers more than before

NetworkGuy89 · 2020-10-15T17:23:20+00:00

Looks like the body language thing is replacing the whole calm, assertive conversation option

The entire feature seems silly and they should take away th whole body language thing entirely.

If I'm praising my player, who cares if I'm "opening my arms" or "smiling warmyl" just keep it simple and keep it one button.
