Main thread

I normally dislike creating OOC threads for things, but there's always discussion around updates, and MKW has become a fairly intense writing/art/programming project for me, so here you go.

What do I do here?

-Poke me re: updates. Out of respect for my players, I assure you that each excuse will be totally unique.
-Ask about game mechanics or bits of past plot you don't understand. Of course, things that simply are not revealed yet will not be revealed here, and sometimes it's better to ask someone in-character.
-Plan things out with other players or me. This especially goes for people leaving or joining the game.
-Tell me whether or not you want a picture/Flash/3d game/whatever else update for your action. For particularly broad ones, I may just make one if I have free time anyway. Sometimes I simply don't have time to program.
-Let me or others know about errors, inconsistencies or other issues with the updates.
-Anything else you can think of to discuss.

What don't I do here?

-Roleplay and post actions. That goes in the main thread.

BRADLEY WEARING ZACHS GLASSES AND HAT


But more importantly, this is probably going to be quite a useful thread.

At some point, Dirk probably needs to be clued in on what in sam hill's going on. Is there some kind of magical NPC he can shake down for information somewhere?

PTW; 504s everywhere >.<

He could just ask one of the players. Zako and Ochita (both IC and OOC) know the most. Joe, unfortunately, was born without a voice box.

I was working on a project I wanted to have ready for next turn, but I think it'll have to wait. I'll just do illustrations instead.

Bump for update status.

Investigate the entire corridor outside! Don't go down the pipe though.

:I

* freeformschooler goes back to programming

Remember when I said this? A BORING (read: sane) GM would have just said "the corridor is too expansive for you to explore all at once!"

I am not, however, a sane boring GM.

Spoiler: I'd already used "Zachquest" (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Also other stuff that's gonna be in the turn (click to show/hide)

@FFS: Alright, I've hit a total roadblock on how to retire Oomph. Mostly because I don't want to.

Instead of holding up the game anymore, I give you permission to do so however you wish.

[freeformschooler]

That's fine. I'll come up with something suitably funny.

((Just a note, I love Oomph and how he was portrayed. ))

[freeformschooler]

There seems to be a little confusion on the surroundings, but even if not, I wanted to make it clear where everyone's exits are.

Zach: in the corridor. Can enter the "shop", head outside or back into the puzzle room.
Ochita: In the topmost water room. Can enter the pipe, attempt to head back through the magical barrier (not recommended). May be unseen exits, 7 on examination roll after all.
Joe and Dirk: Eastern exit across the bridge to adjacent room.
Bradley: Through pipe, back into corridor.

[freeformschooler]

Double-update, wanted to inform every what's going on. I had three hard tests in a row so I haven't been working much on this, but I DID get a new cheap mouse, so updating is a little faster now (another reason that last Flash took so long was I just used my finnicky drawing tablet and keyboard to program it.)

Update probably today or in the next couple of days. I'd like to get at least 2 out over the weekend.

No one ever posts in here because we still OOC in the main thread. However, I figured it would be a good idea to use THIS post to store the newer facesprites as I make them.

Spoiler: Dirk (click to show/hide)

: "That must have been one bad mushroom."
: "I'm feeling better now. Don't worry about it."

Spoiler: Ochita (click to show/hide)

: "Oh boy!"
: "U-uhh... right..."

Spoiler: Zach (click to show/hide)

: "That is both illogical and stupid."
: "What's wrong? Can't stomach the hard truth?"

You see? That's how fun MKW is, where people post on the main thread to keep in the thought continuity other than displace the mindset into another thread, leaving this in its purest state for posterity. ^_^

Also art. Love the art.

[Zako]

HOLY SHIT ON A STICK, THERE'S ZACHARY FACESPRITES I CAN USE!!

I've always wanted to use some since I've seen people using them in this! NOW I CAN!!! THANK YOU!!

[Ochita]

Well I figure Im gonna be the odd (And slightly late) one to the questionnaire thing, by posting my answers here.

Spoiler: Answers! (click to show/hide)

Part 1: Maps

Question 1: would you prefer to keep the detailed "mapsprites" and have slower but more detailed updates or would you prefer to go back to the icons and have slightly faster but more abstract maps?

I think Im happy at the current rate of update level, so I don't think that much really needs to change concerning mapsprite quality, unless you want to increase that, in which case that would be fine for me.

Question 2: would you prefer to have a full, spoilered map dump at the start of every post with all the relevant positions listed? Would you prefer to have only the relevant updated maps shown while in action? Or would you like both?

I'd like to have the relevent maps shown when they're updated, and when they're not then having them spoilered would be nice.

Question 3: if you could improve the maps in some other way, how would you? Note: I am highly flexible!

No idea whatsoever! Possibly by making small notes on the map or something, but I think that's kinda unneeded.

Part 2: Mechanics!

Question 4: do you understand the game system as it stands? If not, what do you not understand about it? Is there anything that makes sense but only partially and you would prefer clarification on?

Yeesss I understand the system well.

Question 5: if you could improve the game system in some way, how would you?

No idea, I think it works well enough as it is

Part 3: Multimedia!

Question 6: do you enjoy the flash games and cutscenes in the game or feel it would be better without them?

Yes I do enjoy the flashes and cutscenes, they're a nice medium for getting a lot down in a short space.

Question 7: if enjoyed, what type of flash game/cutscene would you like to see/have more of? Point and click adventure? Platformer? RPG battle? Full game?

Possibly an RPG battle, although that could be hard concerning what's canon outcome, and what isn't. I'd prefer the point and click adventures, but a platformer could be interesting.

Question 8: if you could improve the flash games and cutscenes in some way, how would you? Remember: highly flexible.

I think I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

Part 4: Miscellaneous!

Question 9: is there anything else about the game and how it's run that's buggin you a little or a lot?

Not really? Everything seems done pretty well.

So yes those are my answers.
