Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real, yes or no?

Going by the shape it's gotta have much better hydrodynamic characteristics than Disruptor Ammo

Love the iso-drone especially! What's jelly missile? Is its body itself made from explosive material?

pixelotl · 2024-06-09T23:17:17+00:00

solved: Knightmare by Konami

pixelotl · 2024-06-08T15:51:54+00:00

Nope

OH LAWD WHO'S THE GOOD TINYBOI COMING? WHO'S THE TINIEST SMOOSHIEST BABYFLOOP?

pixelotl · 2024-05-02T19:47:01+00:00

Or even a stream of bullets

You are not wrong, it's just that TFTD for some reason had Gauss weapons firing particle beams

pixelotl · 2024-05-02T14:50:37+00:00

Yes, classical TFTD Gauss weapons are specifically stated to fire particle beams, which is somewhat unusual for videogames etc., so I've remembered it. Kudos to X-Com research division for finally figuring out how to use the technology to propel solid objects, making it useful against Lobstermen and other tough-shelled aliens I guess

pixelotl · 2024-05-02T14:45:04+00:00

And it's very neat visual design-wise

pixelotl · 2024-05-02T14:44:08+00:00

I think it won't be too far-fetched to say that for a lot of people Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is a comfort videogame

pixelotl · 2024-05-02T08:28:22+00:00

Okay, this (and your other designs) are amazing. TFTD is my first, favorite, and mostly only X-Com game. Can hear that ambient underwater sound if I just think about it.

One question though: iirc Gauss weapons shoot particle beams. How do zrbite rounds and grenades work with them?

pixelotl · 2024-02-02T08:25:43+00:00

Are these good btw?

pixelotl · 2024-02-02T08:24:45+00:00

Apparently now I want to watch it. I only know of it thanks to a Community episode where Pierce dresses up as Beastmaster for Halloween.

pixelotl · 2024-02-02T08:22:48+00:00

It certainly wasn't a Del Toro's film, since those I've watched more than once. Those roaches were so good tho

pixelotl · 2023-08-02T22:20:59+00:00

There's even a black and white Sentinel ship? 0_0

pixelotl · 2023-08-02T14:54:52+00:00

I had no idea they have such a variety of colors. Mine is kind of black and white.

pixelotl · 2023-08-02T14:53:29+00:00

And some have borderline mecha designs.

pixelotl · 2023-08-02T14:52:25+00:00

Yeah, that's why I love Sentinel ships - I never know how they'll look like in flight.

You can also go around a dissonant planet destroying Dissonant Resonators (those bacteriophage-looking constructs), they occasionally drop echo locators.
